Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Rejects Talk of Retirement if He Loses The Usyk Rematch

[P4Pdunny]

Modern day boxing fandom is obsessed with 0's and anyone who loses their 0 is no longer fit for purpose. There are so many variables when it comes to undefeated fighters. AJ can still fight Hrgovic, Joyce, Whyte again, Fury, Wilder, Sanchez, Hunter, Ruiz III to name some. There's a lot left for many fighters in this division.

True, Josh can beat flip, joyce, Dubois, sanchez, hunter and those wins Are amazing wins that could make up for loss to usyk. Especially if they go onto beat usyk too, so at least Josh beats guys who beat usyk

Why do people want him to walk away at 32 years old? Don't you want him to entertain you in future? Are scared he would beat your favourite fighter ie fury/wilder etc?
this is his life it's what he does better than anything, let him be!

Well said. It seems many want AJ to retire as there is a trail of nonsense they left on forums and some would struggle to show their face if he beat ANY of the names you mentioned. And its as if all the names he beaten were nothing or usual excuse they were old.

Its great that Wilder is back in the scene - yes he did say a lot of daft things but the top 5 in the division have a lot of exciting match ups for REAL fans and its easy to forget Wilder almost had Fury out of there (worth rewatching fight as forum bias makes it look like whole fight was walk in the park).

AJ has a lot of changes to make to be able to pass the Usyk, Wilder, Joyce and Fury tests - all are serious threats but who wouldnt want to see those match ups? It seems some ‘fans’ reward fighters who retire early on back of a good win. AJ consistently said he has no plans of retiring so credit where its due.

Why should he retire if he lost again ?
Losing to the same person, even if it's 10x in a row, is not a reason.
There are other fighters to fight and maybe the belts become available again.

Word. Say the same thing I said post-Wilder-Fury 3: whoever loses should sit tight and wait 18 months.

Someone will get a one-off shot on undisputed, and that’d be foolish to pass up. **** your pride.

Having said that, AJ might feel differently in the aftermath of a loss. Easy for him to say now that he’s feeling positive pre-fight

This is the main bit. Ppl underestimate how much entertainment they’ve gotten from their least favourite fighters.

Back when I was a Wilder and Canelo hater, I couldn’t see this, till I realised I’d watched their last 10 fights in a row.

Put ‘em on the ****ing box and I’ll watch, that’s the whole show

Only attitude to have pre fight.
Without confidence, what is there (not saying confidence alone will get it done) ?

Amongst the three Joyce is probably the only one who has the courage to fight but he doesn't have the tools to beat AJ. Wilder has blatantly ducked him and he has admitted it on a footage and Fury didn't show he really wanted it when the occasion presented itself for the undisputed fight.

You don't need super duper tools to beat Joshua. His only three opponents let their hands to hit and two of them beat him. Joyce is just nightmare for him with his chin, power and stamina. Wilder KOs him eventually.

Usyk is on the p4p list maybe even top five. He only moved up for the money and not weight problems .Usyk was an excellent cruiserweight but is no where near as good as a heavyweight.Hearn pushed him in and signed him thinking it would be another named easy defence for his cash cow but because of Joshua's limitations that backfired.Joshua with all his advantages in weight, height and power should really crush the little tricky man .Has they say a good big un will always beat a good little un as proved throughout time , only trouble is Joshua is struggling to prove he's a good big un. If Joshua doesn't nail Usyk by the half way mark look for him to blow a gasket and get stopped .Then twice beaten back to back by the little un where does he go ? he won't fight Wilder and the Chinese heavy , Zhang who is an accident waiting to happen steps up on the bill and will more than likely get beat .So I surpose he'll be rematched with another beaten fighter in Whyte.Good luck to AJ this weekend but he's reached his limits and the little man should all but finish him off this time.
