    By now, everyone has figured out Joshua is a scrub in a Greek God's body.

      No particular fan of Joshua but I admire his professionalism. Of course he was 100% prepared, this time he'll 100% prepared too but differently. We'll see what happens.

        When AJ walked to the ring waving and hugging people, the game was already up. He says he was ready, but this is the fight game, something is wrong if he can't walk to the ring seriously.

        Next time he needs to have his game face on and be sharp early.

          Deontay Wilder acted the way he did after the second fight, because he is a great competitor. From people on the outside looking at Wilder, it seemed as if he was being a bad loser 'But in reality, the reason why he is acting like that was ? Because he still believed he was better than Tyson Fury, and he could beat him.

          I don't think it is a good sign, whenever top athletes accept a loss so easily like Anthony Joshua did 'It is only in the months after the loss to Usyk, has Joshua slowly but sure been allowing himself to be angry'.

          I think Joshua will beat Usyk via stoppage in the rematch. And I disagree, I don't think he was 100% ready 'He has been in a repressed state now since the Ruiz I loss etc'.

          You don’t think he was 100% ready yet AJ himself says he was.
          Also, AJ got beat by Ruiz so I take it the reason he lost is cause he wasn’t “100% ready” too?

            Joshua is a class act. I admire his honesty and willingness to be forthright with the public. That is the mindset of a winner. If he was bitching, moaning and making a bunch of excuses, I would consider that to be the mindset of a weak, loser. Winners face the truth no matter how painful that reality is, while losers *****, moan, deny, make excuses and create conspiracy theories. AJ is a wise dude.

              I think Josh will do it in rematch. There's little in it at highest level.
              Josh had his moments in there

                Anthony Joshua is going to win the rematch via stoppage. This is all you need to understand.

                Joshua has been training and approaching the sport with the wrong philosophy since the aftermath of Ruiz I.

                That is why I state, not matter what he thinks? I don't think he was a 100%.

                  Well actually, when he says...

                  "gameplanning, mindset, brain training, our approach to sparring and what we’re getting out of it, dietary needs, sleep, recovery, mindset training to what I’m listening to musically, motivational speeches, and stuff like that..."

                  ...he's making a bunch of excuses that they weren't up to 100%, but he was. So in effect shifting the blame to his trainer, nutritionist, sleep therapist, massager, life coach, DJ mate and psycophantic hangers on who blow smoke up his ass.

                    You can be great competitor AND still be humble/respectful in defeat,they're not mutually exclusive. In fact,most all great Athletes across all sports are.

                    Wilder,no matter which way you try and spin it,is indeed a "sore loser",one of the worst actually. It takes a sore loser and man of little character to resort to the accusations he laid on Breland,to cope with his defeat and that's all there is to it.

                      No they are not. Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan none of these guys were all accepting of a loss.

                      The war between Fury & Wilder was not over 'Wilder was not defeated' at that point. In his mind, forget what anybody else was thinking 'In Deontay Wilder's mind, he was not defeated'.

                      You are looking at these athletes, as if they were normal everyday people. Forget what your teachers taught you in school 'At the top level of sport, business or whatever venture in life' This all accepting, happy go lucky ways you seem to be focusing on 'Is not how it goes down'.

                      At the time of the stoppage in the second fight, Deontay Wilder was still trying to fight back 'He was not running away, and he was not looking to the referee to stop the fight. As futile as he attempts were, the fact of the matter was he was still fighting back. Tyson Fury had not beaten the resistance out of him.

                      And with a fighter like Wilder, you have to beat the resistance out of them. Somebody throwing a towel in, or stopping the fight while he is on his feet 'Is not going to registered in his mind, as game set and match'.

                      I am not trying to spin anything, I am telling YOU 'Why Wilder reacted the way he did'.

                      He reacted the way he did, because he did not want to accept the loss. And he could not accept the loss at that time, because he still believed he was the better fighter. Some people call this delusion, being a bad loser. But just be honest with yourself, why don't you HUMBLE yourself and understand.

                      That Deontay Wilder's defiance, his single mindedness of attitude 'Not to listen to the media, and large sections of the boxing community' that all wanted him to just shut up and leave Tyson Fury alone. This attitude of his is what ultimately drove him on, to push Tyson Fury like nobody has pushed him before.

                      Deontay Wilder, a fighter they say has no skill 'A fighter they say cannot really box to a high level'. All he has is a punchers chance. That fighter pushed Tyson Fury, like nobody has pushed him before. And he would of not pushed Tyson Fury, if he had just accepted complete defeat after the second fight. Maybe a lesser competitor would of walked away after that second fight, maybe a lesser competitor would of shut up 'Deonaty Wilder did neither of the two, which resulted in one of the greatest heavyweight fights of all-time'.

                      A fight which he lost, but at the same time redeemed himself. Everyone single man, who watched that fight 'Understands that Deontay Wilder is gladiator'. Gladiators fight until the end, that is why they are called Gladiators. You are sitting here, and you are telling me about character 'A man that fights for what he believes in, until the end is a man of high character to me' and that is exactly what Deontay Wilder did 'He believed in himself'.

                      3 fights, 28/29 rounds, 10 knock downs in total, A court case, Almost Three 3 years in duration.

                      Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder was not just a fight, it was a war.

                      That War is now over.
