    Bodybuilder: Earth is flat. Earthquakes happen because of HAARP. Trump is the best. I am totally clean and staying away steroids. I beat Usyk and got robbed.

    Gym: Ya ya ya ya.

      I don`t know. But I know I pick Usyk to beat everybody in division, except Joyce and Fury and these are 50 -50 fights.

      Joshua losing to Usyk doesn`t mean he sucks. He still beats the most of other guys.

      Ruiz loss was a fluke and he revenged it.

        Ruiz ruined him psychologically. He hasn't been the same since.

            I don't rank Joshua as number 1 now, but? When you analyse his resume.

            Nobody has really truly derailed his momentum yet.

            Ruiz Junior beat him once, but then Joshua avenged that loss.

            And he fought Usyk twice back to back, lost on points. The second fight was more competitive, probably skill for skill Joshua's best performance.

            A points loss is not as dramatic or catastrophic as people and even Joshua himself is making out.

            Joshua has not been brutally knocked out, and even during his worst loss? He was still competitive, he decked Ruiz Junior etc.

            I liked Robert Garcia as his trainer, because he understood that Joshua needed to improve his inside game 'And the ability to use rough house tactics'.

            Joshua out of all the current active heavyweights, has the most experience of fighting at World & Elite level.

            I think he has a big entourage, which is maybe unnecessary. And I think he should simplify his training template.

            Ether Joshua wants to be a boxer 100% or not. All this business talk needs to decrease, just train and fight 'Simplify the template'.

            I am not really impressed with his up and coming potential fight vs Whyte, but I understand match making wise why his team want it to happen.

              You literally don't think for yourself. You just go with what the media says and lock onto it. AJ looked terrible in the rematch and the fight was less competitive.

              He got knocked out by a flat blob, stepping in potholes, flopping around like a flounder out of water.

              He didn't use any rough house tactics though lol.

                Wilders entire career is controlled by a little old white guy ( though it’s Wilder accusing others of slavery in boxing lol ) and a boxing advisor who fires anyone who dares try and make a fight with Joshua so I’d say you have to really be out of touch with reality bringing this subject up as though Wilder and Joshua’s careers are even comparable .

                The only thing Wilders allowed to do himself with permission is pick who he puts in his training camp , coaches ,sparring partners etc but it ends there .

                  Remember when you thought AJ was gonna be the best HW of this era?

                  Didn’t you say he was gonna be one of the greatest heavyweight’s of all time?

                    Yes, and I said it at the time. The smart move was to not fight Usyk. It was defensible too - he'd just fought mandatories and a rematch.

                    But the reason I respect Joshua is that he's been consistent. Said he wanted Undisputed and fought who he needed to fight.
