Regardless, Hearn’s views prompted a mixed response, with @deancrutch disagreeing: “Fury beat two long reigning world champions at the top of their game to win his world title, and AJ beat Charles Martin. Case closed,” he said. @DJKBOX101 joked: “Hearn makes me laugh when he goes through the names on Joshua’s record, as if they are bonafide hall of famers.”

But @Be_Safe79 pushed back, writing: “Povetkin, Parker, Pulev, Takam. All these guys aren’t top fighters now but they were when AJ fought them and Fury never fought any of them.”
