Scott v Joshua

[Silkeyjoe]

Saw this is his potential July 9th opponent. Malik fucking Scott! Eddie Hearn cant be putting Joshua in with a guy like this.

its crazy that he is talking about that date for the fight anyway, everyone involved in boxing should be working towards the greater good, getting as many people to watch as many fights as possible.

He thinks putting AJ on the same night as Tyson Fury v Klit is clever, its just fucking ridiculous

In fairness, the first Fury-Klitschko fight was SO bad that it might serve Joshua to be on the same night, for some contrast? Malik Scott is a shit opponent I agree though. He has the kind of style and physicality that might trouble AJ if he were less shit, but this is a waste of a fight.

If they're hoping to male a comparison by chasing wilders previous opponents and put Scott with more than a grazing shot, it makes a small statement but not much. I'd prefer him going after someone like arreola, that it looks like Wilder stepped around.

Hearn was just gloating that they can blast Fury-Klit out the park now that AJ is "world" champ. Which is true. That's why Sky gave the rematch the elbow

To be fair there isn't too many realistic opponents that could stand up to joshua right now I think.. There is certainly worse than malik scott out there.. I would prefer he takes on the winner of chisora pulev or maybe Duhaupass.. Duhaupass would be the best opponent to give him rounds and a good test I think.

Yep agree. What he should do if its going to be AJ v Scott is put it on Friday night on normal sky TV. No PPV. Get as many people watching boxing that weekend as possible.

Saw on Twitter that Scott said he had a contract to fight Joshua if he won last night. Don't know what to make of it, he isn't in the top 15 with the IBF. I think he's only ranked with the WBO.
