Hearn was on TalkSport yesterday, Round 2 v Simon Jordan. Now I normally like SJ, I like his bluntness, but Hearn absolutely schools him

Well Chisora’s opponent would unfortunately just have to get ****ed. Not like there’s anything riding on it. Helenius could have taken Chisora’s place. All this does is push any Joshua/Wilder/Fury showdown even further back because absolutely no hype is generated after decking Helenius so he’ll surely get another fight scheduled in about 10 months time to make up for it.
Will be like grandad wars by the time any of the current big hitters actually face each other.
I'd laugh like **** if Helenius sat Joshua on his arse, because I've long felt he's a poor man's Frank Bruno, in that he has the physique, but not that much of a boxers/fighters brain, so a natural would be able to read him like a book.
It isn't going to happen though.
It isn't going to happen though.
I think he's much better then he comes across, I just think mentally he's not believing in himself or the desire has gone since the ruiez loss. He's just holding on for the Saudi deal l, just the same as fury is.
Fisher vs Armstrong on the undercard tonight was a great fight
6.4 and very strong. Definitely a prospect to keep an eye on. Credit to Armstrong as well, he's got a granite head!
Joshua in my opinion is going backwards in professional boxing.
He never got over the ruiez loss, I remember that night sat with a few mates watching it and all of us said something just didn't look right in him from his ring walk to how he looked in the ring etc before the first bell. Which was a shame because up until then he was walking through people for fun.
He started going downhill after the Klitschko fight. He still kept winning but he’d retreated into his shell and hid behind his jab banking the points from that point on.
I think if in honest, I'll be glad when AJ, wilder and fury ( for the 178th time ) retire. They have been great for boxing as a whole but these days they are ( fury especially ) just holding the division back. Let them have their swansong in Saudi and then move aside
There’s nobody particularly exciting lighting a fire behind them though is there…
Nope, not at their level at all. Usyk could hold the belts for a while and I definitely don't see dubios getting anywhere near him. I'm looking forward to the Clarke Vs Allan fight in a few weeks, hopefully Zhang beats Joyce again as well.
Zhang and Joyce are both at the tail end of their careers. Joshua, Fury, Wilder et all were all generating the big hype in their mid 20’s. Nobody in the next generation is coming close. Once these guys have had their showdown and start to retire there is nothing to follow.
Maybe in a year or two we’ll be talking about Fisher.
I agree when these guys have finished that's it..... doesn't seem to be anything behind them. Its a shame as nobody wants to fight anybody either. Bit of a joke the heavyweight division.
To be fair, who else expected a 17 stone black Barbie to go ten rounds.
