    Wasn't Hearn going to announce Joshua-Usyk two days ago? He can't seem to finalize anything.

    Joyce and Parker have never been mentioned by Eddie.

    They would be the next in line in the WBO ratings if they signed Usyk and he got injured or couldn't go.

    In Usyk's last two training camps, he was injured (against Witherspoon and Chisora) and both fights had to be rescheduled.

    This thread was started before Hearn threatened to drop the WBO belt.

    It would be the height of comedy if Joshua dropped the WBO belt because Hearn didn't want the fight to go to purse bids ....

    And then Usyk got injured in training and couldn't fight anyway.

    And Parker and Joyce fought for the vacant WBO title. (LOL)

    At this moment, that could happen.

    Have you realized Joshua isn't fighting Fury this summer yet? (LOL)

    We're well past your pick.

    Or are you still under the misguided notion it's Joshua-Fury in Saudi in August?

    Usyk was not bloated and unprepared. Not sure if you knew.

    He was the unified WBO, IBF, WBC and WBA champ at cruiserweight. When a champion moves up in weight, he gets a shot at the title in that higher weight class.

    Every boxing fan knows that, except you.
    You sure don't know much about boxing, and you have Usyk's character completely wrong.

    You keep embarrassing yourself, but you're not intelligent enough to realize it.

    Embarrassing myself? I said Joshua would fight Usyk.

    You didn't.

    Neither did the guys who liked your post.

    Now you're bumping threads where I picked the guy Joshua actually fought?

    Go away Dummy.

    But you said Usyk was bloated and unprepared, and happy to fight for a vacant title. What's up with that?

    Four months before the fight, when Usyk had to cancel two training camps before his last two fights, was coming off surgery and had agreed to step-aside for Fury-Joshua ... I DID.

    You just love to take stuff WAY out of context, don't you? Is Usyk your dad?

    You seem way too bent out of shape for something I admitted I was wrong about AS it was happening A YEAR ago.

    Get over it. Jesus. Quit being a *****.
