Anthony Joshua is a shot fighter.

[removed]

- -A giggle of shot sluggards on a boxing forum ain't gonna define AJ who when combined with Fast Eddie brought heavyweight boxing back to the international market.

He's still in control of the unified title and has a highly desired intellectual ability to go on an international tour of great boxing gyms to steep himself in the varied training philosophies going into his Usyk rematch.

Guy who needs a new plan is Usyk who was busted up badly and would've been stopped but for landing the perfect shot on AJ's eye in the 9th round that bothered him for the rest of the fight. We've had some very serious eye injuries of late, ie BJ Sanders and Dubois.

Joshua never came close to hurting Usyk, let alone stopping him.

You AJ stans are a bunch of deluded fools.

Hes always had confidence problems.
Ever since the klitchko fight.
Wilder would destroy AJ

Wilder is a bum and a very fragile one.

If he had fought the same opponents as AJ - he'd have at least 7-8 losses on his resume.

AJ sends any version of Wilder to the morgue.

[BangEM]

The bold says it all. Even if Wilder is unskilled and beatable he still believes in himself. The difference between the winner and loser is the winner gets up 1 more time.

No, he wasn't asking if he believes in himself - he was asking if he actually believes all the outlandish things he says. Wilder talks like a broken record and you have to be a mentally ill complete illiterate to talk like Wilder.

He is not shot he was never that good, this forum has a bad habit of overrating every big fish that comes along, a guy gets some hype going and he is an overnight atg in here real easy, lots of wagon jumpers in here.

Yeah, people on here overrate fighters all the time.

So what if he was an Olympic gold medalist? It was in his home town so it would have been harder to lose.

And belts are worthless. So unifying three of them isn't exactly impressive.

And the top 10 fighters on his resume are all in a weak era so they don't really count for anything.

He's just hype. Hasn't done anything.

He lost to Usyk.

They all might.

He did look lost, but that's what these southpaws do. Luckily he has a second chance and should learn something, but it was always a fight he could lose (and anyone else in the heavies)

I don’t think the problem is losing to Usyk..

Part of the problem is he’s starting to fight with a lot of fear. As soon as any solid enough shot lands, you see him panic. When heavyweights start fighting with that kind of fear, they don’t usually ever get it back.

I picked Usyk to beat him and think he stops him next time. In every fight with AJ has been hurt, it’s made him more and more timid after that. He knows Usyk can hurt him, so I think Joshua’s mentality right now will prevent him from being aggressive, and then what’s he going to do? Move around against Usyk?

AJ isn’t physically shot, mentally he is.

To be fair, Audley Harrison won a gold medal and he didn’t need gifts along the way. So for all your sarcasm, it doesn’t mean a lot in some cases I’m terms of its relevance to the pro game. Let’s be real anyway,AJ lost one of those Olympic fights clearly.

as for the belts, depends who you beat. He didn’t beat any good champions for them. Ricky Burns is a 3 weight world champ.

Just because he is ignorant and outlandish doesnt mean HE doesnt believe it

Wilder talks nonsense but at least he probably believes it, being as daft as he is.

AJ is just cringe though, he sounds like he’s read motivational quote meme’s before he goes in front of the camera. He’s hardly the sharpest knife in the drawer himself.

You AJ stans are a bunch of deluded fools.

He hurt Usyk multiple times in that fight though that wasn’t his intention. AJ went into the fight not trying to hurt Usyk and he pulled back every time he hurt the guy.

You just went off on a tangent. AJ might not be the sharpest in the drawer but he’s actually 10x sharper than Tyson Fury. You have to be a blockhead with single digit IQ to be able to contradict yourself within the same sentence all the time.

Fury and Wilder are the dumbest boxers out there by a mile.
