Comments Thread For: Joshua: I Know I'm The Man at Heavyweight and I'll Be For a Long Time!

[OnlytheTruth]

All this talk of Joshua never fighting a top 2 and Fury fighting 2 top 2's, Wlad is 1, who is the other?

I know, its a joke. I posted a couple of weeks ago about this. This isn't aimed at you, Neutral.

For all of the idiots out there...How can Joshua be accused for not fighting top 2's when, for at least half of his career, he's been consensus Top 2?

For those who can't do maths; 2 minus 1 = 1 and when that 1 is Wilder, who has admitted to dodging Joshua for Fury, then what is Joshua supposed to do!? So now that Fury is the other '1', the fight is nearly made.

So, who else has there been in the top 2 whilst Joshua has been a pro? Answer: Wlad - knocked him out. Pov - knocked him out. Ruiz - beat him wide. Pulev - Knocked him out.

Blows my mind how ****** some people are.

Have never heard him saying this before. I guess you have to start some where . How many times did we hear this from Wilder whilst he was fighting bums after bums and running from biggest paydays?

The fickle nature of boxing fans have put all of the pressure onto Fury. He's been put on this pedestal because he is undefeated - when really, that's the only reason he's #1. Not because he 'head and shoulders' above AJ - as some deluded trolls believe.

I'm not even saying this to provoke any of those clowns but if AJ beats Fury - Fury will probably kill himself. Either with drink, drugs or suicide. Seriously; the guy will need to be looked after.

Shouldn’t be undefeated, needed an absolute gift first time against McDermott, prob the worst robbery the year it happened.

That's exactly it. I don't mind anybody saying AJ is getting overhyped or an average fighter, I'm a massive AJ fan and I can see he is far from perfect, but to ignore what he has been doing and who he has been fighting or trying to fight is just high level saltiness to suit their negative narratives.

Denium says Joshua never beaten a real world champion. Joshua has beaten 3, where does he think he got the belts from? Parker, Martin and Ruiz. Denium doesn't have to rate those 3 as anything other than bums if he wants but they were world champions.

Yep, 100%. There is a reason that O'Connor was banned for 6 months due to an investigation into the decision. 100% fix considering they changed the rules on British Title fights following that robbery.

You can't argue with the rematch but Fury should have lost the first fight.

What's so amazing about beating Wilder? Who has Wilder beaten to make him such a great?

Wilder is still ranked no. 3/4 in the ring and just about every other legitimate boxing outlet. Anyone denying him being a top heavyweight is just a ****ing idiot at this point.

Why?

I'm a fan of boxing. I have no idea whats with a lot of these Joshua fans. You all strike me as majorly feminine. Its like you're a fan of the guy just because rather than anything he actually does in the ring. Crawford, Fury, Canelo, Spence...I feel people support these guys because of their talent. With Joshua I think its indicative of the weird social media bandwagon "relatability" culture we now have where we root for ones personality/looks first and their skillset/accomplishment after.

Parker, Martin and Ruiz are names that wont likely venture anywhere near the HoF. Fury's, Wlad's and Wilder's probably will. That's what people mean by a top heavyweight.

Where are you from, out of curiosity?

Look, there are two sides to every fence, and I respect what you have said but I am really not convinced that Fury is really all that he is said to be. I will concede that in terms of trickiness, movement etc, he is unparalleled - especially because of his size. However, there is a list of things wrong with Fury, and his career, that is also unparalleled.

I could rant about it all day - bottom line, the fight needs to happen and IMO Joshua KO's Fury.

What I responded to was the thought that Fury being undefeated is an issue, I can see that there are grounds to critique Fury.

Interesting. You demand to give Wilder credit for being ranked 3 or 4 and call anybody who doesn't agree with you a fkking idiot but you don't want to give a guy ranked at number 1 or 2 and the current unified world champion any credit what so ever.
