Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Claims Joshua Backed Down During Confrontation

That's mental illness, not insecurity lol I can tell Joshua is very insecure Did you see his face before Povetkin? He was pooping himself. Fought like it, too He fought a highly skilled veteran that was guaranteed to bring the fight to Anthony Joshua, of course he fought cautiously until he had him figured out. His footwork and that jab to the body were beautiful, and when the time came to close the show he made sure it was emphatic. and lol at you educating me on insecurities when you're actually talking about AJ having pre fight nerves, something that's not unusual in combat sports. If feeling no fear and having balls of steel mean you end up with a 40-0 record having only faced one quality opponent, or alternatively it means you end up exiting the sport in disgrace during your prime like Fury did, then I think maybe both those characteristics could be overrated.

Joshua seems pretty insecure. I believe Fury's version of events. Yeah Joshua does seem pretty insecure .. this time last year he weighed over 400lbs and was depressed, drinking heavily, and had a serious cocaine addiction! :rolleyes:

I think its a little silly to be saying that Joshua, Wilder, Fury, Whyte, Parker or whatever HW that is active now, wouldn't beat anyone on that list. Firstly, if all of those guys came out of retirement, they'd be destroyed inside 1 round. Even Charles Martin would beat all of these guys. Secondly, being born in an era where none of these names are active, isn't anyone's fault. Wilder, Joshua and Fury are fighting who they can. Yes, those fighters were great in their day. Those days are gone unless you have a ****ing time machine. Nothing you can do about who is active now versus the past, its just a matter of opinion. Unless you can 100% prove that those guys would beat the current champs, just quit posting garbage. You either have a reading comprehension problem or didn’t read it period. I said all on his list other than THE TWO TOP DOGS I.e. HW champs. Furthermore, comparisons are made all the time such as all time greatest boxers lists. Birth (a canard argument) does not excuse one from making the obvious observation that the present HW division is weak and is garbage as compared to the time I have cited. You’d have to be a fan boi jock strap hugger not to come to the same conclusion

Tyson Fury remembering this confrontation...

Aye aye!! 'tis said that upon coming a cropper and runnin' into the Gypsy King, a man will look into the gaze of a hardened killer, a stone cold, ice cube of a man, that tis if the King is even mortal! I was there that fateful day when the King and Joshua crossed paths upon the cobble. I was looking to give a Euro member a thrashing and what should I see? So here is what happened: Aye aye!! At that time Joshua was a pudgy sort of lad...looked like an upside down bellend... and as he waddled with his entourage into the local pub where none other than the travelling men were wettin' whistles and all... So you had the room full, on one side Nigerian princes and on the other, Travellers celebrating. Suddenly Joshua waddles up and proposes a toast...to the best heavyweight there ever was, himself....Well, the Gypsy King was havin' nun ofit! he gets up and demands a go on the cobbles. A silence takes over the room, a pin could drop!! And like I said: The eyes of the Gypsy King, light up, beams come out!!! they hit the pudgy Joshua, he screams in ancient Afro Hamitic Nigerian to the gods, there is smoke, the smell of burning fat!!! screams everywhere! When the smoke clears, The Gypsy's Medusa stare ceases and everything resumes...BUT Joshua has been hardened! No not turned to stone! Almost though!!! But in place of the pudgy prince is a rock of a man, a physical specimen to be reckoned with!! Muscles everywhere!! Joshua looks in the mirror, laughs hysterically and off he goes with the rest of the Nigerian princes but not before issuing this challenge to the Gypsy King: "Listen Gypsy KIng, you travellin man! One day soon we shall meet in the ring and I will make you sorry you ever laid eyes upon me!" and with that he was off. And that is how the Gypsy King was responsible for making JOshua the man of stone.

I bolded the part I was commenting on, stop being so dense There, there you special snowflake.

Wildher is not boring, it's always fun to listen to his stuttering and talking lies like a crack head he is. I bolded the part I was commenting on, stop being so dense

I would say that Wilder's interviews are boring. His fighting is entertaining due to it being so unorthodox!Thats what’s up!

His story abut being in the sauna with Wlad. The GOAT boxing story, and GOAT moment when he relayed it to a completely perplexed Wlad in that face to face. Genuinely makes me chuckle just thinking about it

I was skipping through the interview today. I didn't get through it all, but heard Fury talk about Joshua. He talks briefly about a spar, were he alludes to Joshua not being much. (which differs from what he said a few years back when he said Joshua had put it on him in sparring) He touches on a few other subjects : He says Charles Martin was on stand by to fight Wilder as the doctor wasn't going to pass Ortiz right up until the start of the fight. He compares his resume to Wilders. And about stepping in to face an unbeaten Chisora when Wlad pulled out in what was is 15th fight. His story abut being in the sauna with Wlad. Abut his own fighting style. Only got about half way through before i had to stop watching, but it seems a decent watch. .

We’re talking about a 2004 alt who is protecting Joshua at all costs . And I havent heard a poster here or abroad say that Wilder is boring-ever!!! Lmao. http://gif-finder.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/George-Costanza-OMG-Facepalm.gif

Are you talking about AJ or Wilder? :burnout: We’re talking about a 2004 alt who is protecting Joshua at all costs 😆. And I havent heard a poster here or abroad say that Wilder is boring-ever!!! Lmao.

If I were Joshua I wouldn't be following Tyson outside for a straightner. Partly because it's a stupid move for someone who is doing so well and has so much more to lose than Fury. Why endanger lucrative contracts worth millions, or risk injury or imprisonment and the massive loss of earnings that would entail? It's the definition of no win. If he did follow him and beat him into next week he'd be lambasted for being a professional boxer battering an obese man.

They saw those boring ass performances and then fed him a 39 year old PED abuser and thought that the ship was righted lmao.. Are you talking about AJ or Wilder? :burnout:

only to those thinking about cock in the mouth 24/7 Yeah we don't need to know about your mother and father, this is a boxing forum

I've been wondering what ever happened to Joshua. I remember he beat Wlad in a great fight. That was years ago. Why hasn't he been fighting since then? Is he taking a couple years off, like Fury did? They saw those boring ass performances and then fed him a 39 year old PED abuser and thought that the ship was righted lmao..

Eddie Hearn was lining Ortiz up for Joshua and gave him two fights on matchroom cards to make a statement to the british fans, but both times Ortiz looked disinterested and even his KO win was a bit of a stinker .. then he failed a drug test again which resulted in the WBA (I think) removing him from their rankings .. so when he was offered a shot at Deontay Wilder he jumped ship. Now "fans" are insisting AJ ducked him .. it's disgusting revisionist history Forget any claims of ducking him. Why not fight him now? Why didn't Whyte fight him now after he called him out? Ortiz called his bluff, then Whyte shut up. That win would have put Ortiz in line with AJ. Ortiz is a top 5 heavyweight, and it would be a good comparison to help build a fight with Wilder...unless its too much of a risk. Who TF wants to watch AJ vs Whyte again? Any other fight besides Ortiz right now, until Wilder or Fury is free is crap. British Bob wants to keep in house fights.

Who is surprised that this stiff, stoic ***** backed down lmao!!!???

kinda gay, but whatever only to those thinking about cock in the mouth 24/7
