is he the IBF mandatory or something? Other than that I can't imagine why he'd possibly be considered for any reason.

Hearn will want the hands down ( literally ) easiest of defences first, and whichever bum he digs up, he'll justify it with "well, it's his first defence isn't it.." And none of the clueless casuals will be able to tell the difference anyway, so of course he is going to go with a chinless wonder like malik Scott, who will go down faster than Bruce Seldon on a banana skin

Because he's cheap, will come over talking a good game, then fall over in the first round. Perfect easy opponent for a first defence.

Hearn should want to help Joshua get some half decent experience pretty quickly.

Joshua is still a novice and he could end up out of his depth pretty quickly if they are complacent.

Still don't know why you'd want a guy that lost in such a fashion in his biggest fight that at least half the people that saw it think he just took a dive.
