If AJ loses to Usyk - he should retire

[BangEM]

Off to the fight in a bit.

But before then - gotta go queue up for petrol. This country is back in the medieval ages with this crazy fuel scarcity. What’s going on?

Come on, Big Josh!

If Usyk wins he was just better then advertised and showed something different on the night . Odds are greatly stacked against Usyk despite what any media says but that’s just because the style favors AJ hugely and it’s how great AJ the fighter is ,I don’t think anyone is a clear favorite against Usyk besides AJ really .


A loss on paper would look bad in the number of defenses he’s had but when you look at who he fought not really , Usyk should be giving full credit if he wins . AJ is no easy win and no ones ever come closer to defeating him when he’s had a full camp and with the right things such as sparring partners etc .

Usyk winning is still a farce to me but winning twice is probably not even possible,I’d say A.J will just come back and be a 3 time champion in the event he loses . Usyks a great fighter ,when A.J wins he won’t get the credit we all know this and his foes will want to put that win as there’s but they are as delusional as their fans .

Falling apart at the seams much like your big, stiff fancyman will when Usyk starts letting his hands go in combination

How am I glory hunter when I was the only one on the forum saying he’ll destroy Ruiz in the rematch after what happened at MSG?

I only created the thread because I don’t think Usyk is good enough to beat him. Too open and his technical ability is overrated. Usyk’s style is pitifully very amateurish and how he throws punches plays into AJ’s strengths. It’s one of AJ’s easiest fights and end up being easier than Martin.

So if he loses, something is amiss and he might need to retire.

You was not the only one, plenty of people where backing Joshua to beat Ruiz Junior 'It is just that he has many haters'.

Listen ****Em, win or lose just stay with your fighter. It is all part of the journey.

Joshua is not Superman, deep down you know he has certain flaws 'But he faces up to them or is trying to and fights through them'.

If you are not trying to be smart, this thread makes you look like a 'Front Runner or Glory Hunter'.

If I had never seen your post before, and only seen this thread 'This is what you are looking like'.

I can only imagine the type of criticism and mocking Joshua will receive if he is beaten, will be on another level. Whether it be on the internet or even by the media.

Just stick with your fighter, until the end. You have probably created this thread with angle, I get the angle 'But it is making you look like something else'.

Things happen in boxing, I don't think ether Fury or Joshua are in their best form.

While its a little extreme, I do agree he has no business losing this fight. My concerns with Joshua have been the same for the last 3-4 years and its that his team do not know how to get the best out of him.

If he was to lose this fight, it would be a sign that he needs to instantly fire his team, Mcracken should be gone the next morning.

Will see what happens.

Lol **** Em is the strangest Boxing fan on the forum. So if Joshua loses to a guy nobody else has ever managed to beat he should retire? Ali lost 5 times, losing is part of this sport.

No

He already tasted a humiliating L and came back just fine. Even if Usyk starches him, AJ should not retire.....yet. The div is so lame, a guy can have multiple chances at redemption.

Or would it just mean that Usyk is better than given credit for or perhaps AJ is far more flawed than people are willing to admit or a bit of both?

We can not seriously sit and say he has no business losing this fight when Usyk has a lot of advantages and AJ has rather limited experience vs southpaws

Once to many times the fight is blamed on the corner ,only seldom is that really true it’s on the fighter mostly. AJs loss was on him and he’s won every fight convincingly besides his loss . You can’t say he should fire his team before the fight isn’t even over yet because much is learned on the fight itself,it wouldn’t make sense before the fight even took place yet . I’ve seen many fights showing the fighter did not follow the right instructions giving to them in the corner . The biggest one is probably Moorer vs Foreman at heavyweight .

If AJ loses, that means his heart isn’t in the sport anymore. He’s better than Usyk (watched a lot of Usyk’s CW fights earlier today again). And you can’t be in a dangerous sport if your heart isn’t in it.

That’s what I’m implying.

He isn't better than Usyk, he is bigger and not a lot worse so fingers crossed he gets it done.
