It’s not a one off. He’s done it twice.

Is he right?

For me, AJ has a deeper record if you were scoring each opponent out of ten, however in my opinion Anthony Joshua does not have one elite win on his record, given that his best win is against the man that Fury himself dethroned nearly 3yrs prior.

Whyte, Breazeale, Parker, Povetkin and Takam are all a level at least below AJ and Fury for me.

Fury's most recent win, demolishing the hardest hitter of recent times who Joshua didn't fight pisses all over Joshua's record IMO. Add in the fact he was arguably robbed of a win the first time AND beat the 10yr reigning champ in his own back yard and its not even close.

Am I letting my dislike for Joshua cloud this or is Hearn, as usual, talking bollocks?

Obviously becomes a moot point once they fight each other anyway.

Yeah it matters but kind of doesn't in a way. Obviously a man who's fought better men is likely to beat a man who's fought lesser men, but anything can happen in a fight, and one man might win one day and the other man might win another, all sorts of factors can come into play with winning and losing fights

Having said that,I've bin in Tysons corner from day1 and he would beat Joshua anytime they clashed in my opinion too good, Joshua hasn't got enough about him to beat Tyson

How? After Ruiz? And the utter destruction of Wilder, the mans still not right. AJ will unravel long before the first bell, and Fury won’t even be playing head games. He’ll just be being himself. As Clifton Mitchell said the other day, he has some weird aura about him, even Del didn’t get cheeky. Cunningham did, but Fury didn’t even understand what he was on about...,

I'm saying they are about even in terms of record up to now (Fury has two fantastic wins but not much else, AJ has a good list of wins and an avenged loss). Not that it's a 50/50 fight.
