Eddie Hearn has been mocked and branded a "casual" by legendary former world champion Oscar De La Hoya for putting Anthony Joshua on his all-time heavyweight list.
The multiple-division champion has never been a fan of Hearn's, and joked that he was a "casual" fan after listing Joshua among legends of the heavyweight division. After jokingly suggesting the Brit was No.1, he re-evaluated and Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Sonny Liston, Evander Holyfield, Riddick Bowe and George Foreman made up his top eight.
And he then suggested that one of Joshua, Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk, this generation's great heavyweights, might crack the list assuming they all fight each other. Fury is claiming to be retired, meaning that he likely wouldn't face either, while Joshua's career as a top heavyweight may be over if he loses his immediate rematch with Usyk.
