Sure Aj sure sure sure, you keep telling yourself that.
He has to many yes men & alot if the thing's he say's are plain embarrassing, almost Wilder suit level. QUOTE]

I accept what most people critique AJ on at face value - a valid opinion on perceived flaws - somewhat justified and some natural bias. You are just a complete hack - you dislike AJ for other non boxing reasons (pretty obvious frankly what they are) and go left field in your criticism for non boxing reasons.

Better keep your reasons to boxing as your chat history is full of some real gems. He has removed a ton of his yes men if you read the news and has 2 people who are acting as lead and support coach. His point on southpaws is pretty valid - when 95 percent of an orthodox fighters training and fights are agains orthodox then obviously elite southpaws are difficult. You turn everything into some kind of daft commentary. You NEVER accuse Fury of Bullshido curiously despite his absolute howlers.

For the record i think AJ will struggle to win mainly due to Usyk being another level but I believe be is highly capable of doing so and has taken the right steps to give himself a chance. I don’t believe we have seen best of AJ.

Never mind, Fury will come out of retirement soon so you can keep sniffing his behind soon. And for the record again i can separate my like/dislike to accept as of today Fury is best TODAY but not a GOAT until he fights Usyk, Joyce and one or two other names.

Southpaw heavyweight world titlists, all time:
Michael Moorer
Ruslan Chagaev
Chris Byrd
Corrie Sanders
Sultan Ibragimov
Charles Martin
Oleksandr Usyk

That's it.

So it seems that the overwhelming majority of heavyweight champions haven't had much of a problem beating southpaw contenders.

It is common knowledge that some fighters struggle to adapt to southpaws. It messes with your sense of distance, way you must move, and punches/traps you must look out for.

You're going to see less southpaw champions because there are less left handers in the world.

Lewis admitted to avoiding them . Now in this era there’s more because there’s also ambidextrous fighters like Fury etc….

When Joshua wins it’s a further dent in Lennox Lewis ,you can see it he does not want A.J to win this one . When he does it then becomes could Lewis defeat Usyk ? Boxing is crazy like that because he’s not defeated top southpaws ever ,we keep the same energy .

the point is.... how the fk was AJ ever going to beat Fury ???

Fury is one of a small handful of orthodox fighters that I have seen during my lifetime, who can start and finish a fight as a ELITE southpaw

not talking about the dozens of try-hards who thought that they could.... or who think that it is helpful to give their opponent a different look, despite the fact that they lose all of their own instinctive advantages

I can only think of 3 fighters who can do it

even Mayweather can't do it

AJ has been totally undressed in his losses to Ruiz and Usyk

I’ve heard CRAZY excuses in boxing. Ridiculous things…. “I would have smoked him if he wasn’t a lefty” might be the worst. Embarrassing!

———-
Precisely. Meanwhile, a short pudgy Ruiz beat the crap out of him without being a southpaw.

[MANNY67]

Just make sure you beat usyk,no excuses,you and your promoter have talked a lot, so southpaws or whatever just go and win this fight son , and if you don’t then I think it’s a shame.and that’s the bottom line

[LA_2_Vegas]

He would have beaten Usyk if only Usyk was someone else.

[aboutfkntime]

Are you an idiot?

Southpaws used to be avoided so badly that they had to convert to orthodox to get fights. Otherwise, they wound up unemployed and broke.

Also, plenty of the best southpaws in boxing come from Cuba and the Soviet region who were banned from professional competition for decades. So the likes of Usyk and Ortiz did not exist back in the supposed "golden generations".

Watch the small, pillow-fisted Mildenburger piece up the mythical version of Ali then get back to us.

Ali could not miss with his right hand.... ALL NIGHT LONG.... and Mildenburger couldn't land shlt LMAO

" Mildenburger has one terrible basic boxing weakness.... a open vulnerability to the straight right hand " ~ the commentators

the same punch that always gave Pacquiao problems

Wallin gave Fury hell and many believe that fight should've been stopped.

Granted, it wasn't for a world title.

Bullshido!

Haha - not yet at that level - a looong way to go. How people forget quickly. Heavy costume, own trainer betraying him. Still, I still want Wilder to do well. They guy is good for boxing as is AJ - he already gave us an unforgettable fight with Klitschko - lets hope this one is as good.
