    aj is a bit uptight mentally which translates into a tight body, fury is all over the place mentally which gives him his loose body and better movement, less tension to tighten things up when under pressure

      Trying to silence the critics is opposite of what you should do. Play to your strengths and even if your hated for it you'll make AMAZING money. Mayweather made a fortune doing it being hated.

        The man is conflicted inside and outside the boxing ring.
        Yes, he is flakey, isn't he.

          Usyk gets the stoppage this time, could even be a stretcher job, going to be brutal.

            As with Wilder, the sun has set on the Joshua era. It was a very good run for both. Time for new names and maybe grow the sport

              Wlad is a naturally a bigger man and also a better boxer. I’m not sure if he could fight like Wlad even if he wanted to.

                Is he really naturally bigger though if I remember rightly Wlad debuted at like 221/2 or something and AJ was 229/30, Wlad just seemingly held the weight better.

                  Joshua vs Fury next for Fury’s WBC.

                  I say Fury gets inside Joshua’s head. Fury’s the better boxer too and has more dimensions to his game. Fury wins by a wide decision.
                  What is your opinion on the outcome of AJ vs Usyk 2?

                    He let Tyson Fury's trash talk get in his head.

                    Kind of mentally weak is our Anthony.

                      I joked after his Usyk loss that Joshua tried to outbox a master boxer because he was affected by the Internet calling him a big stiff robot, turns out it was true...lmao. I also said that Joshua's rematch victory against Ruiz was a false victory, because Joshua did not win, but Ruiz lost before entering the ring. But Joshua, his team and Hearn actually believed Joshua was some master boxer because he was able to runaway from an immobile blob. Looks like some of his fans still believe the Ruiz rematch victory was some masterful performance. One of Joshua's superfan also claims Joshua is a white man trapped in black man's body, maybe after retirement, Joshua will go the way of Sammy Sosa and start bleaching his skin. Joshua might be a bigger headcase than Fury.
