    Is Anthony Joshua surrounded by yes men?

    Like we all accused Wilder of being?

    his whole camp and set up is too soft. his 'trainer' was an absolute disgrace in the last fight, telling him that he was doing great and boxing beautifully. he needed a boot up the arse not someone licking it

      Well he also basically has 3 trainers

      Also, when he trains at that sports institute in Sheffield that’s supposed to be for the amateurs, Apparently him and all his friends are taking over the place hanging around in flip-flops and stuff.

      Seems a very soft place and way too comfortable.

      he needs to go train in some proper gym’s and not some national lottery funded sports institute with no grit about it. I know sometimes he does a few bits at Finchley but mostly his training camps are just in his comfort zone in Sheffield with his mates hanging around in flip-flops treating it like a holiday camp.

          more likely to be surrounded by yes women, but funnily enough there doesnt seem to be much scandal like that with him

              I dunno. His problem with his losses so far has really been his inability to adjust or grit his teeth and persevere when the going gets tough. That could be a training problem or it could be an inherent flaw. Maybe a mix of both. I don't know if heart is even something you can teach, and if you can it's surely not something done easily.

                Anthony Joshua was surrounded by too many yes men and focused on technology rather than old school training.
                Epic fail!
                Anthony Joshua made a huge mistake by surrounding himself with yes men and focusing on technology rather than old school training. As a result, he suffered a humiliating defeat. This just goes to show that sometimes the old ways are the best.​

                  I suspect Joshua was the yes man. Sheffield was comfortable for his team - so he stayed in Sheffield. He should have changed things up a long time ago but that advice was never coming from his team. Turkeys don't vote for Christmas.

                  People on here massively underestimate his ability. He could still be at the top of the sport... think about it, don't take the replacement after Miller popped, and certainly don't fight Usyk. He was all wrong for Joshua. There's a raft of top 10 guys Joshua would continue to beat.

                  I respect his approach. He charged after Undisputed. But if he wasn't chasing that there's every chance he'd still be number one, undefeated and holding at least one belt.

                    Do you think it would have been a wise choice for him to vacate some of his belts and let them fall where they may? Chart his own course in terms of who he fought, like the great Floyd Mayweather chose to?
