Comments Thread For: Frazer Clarke on Joshua's Rant: His Team Left Him Out To Dry, Someone Should Have Saved Him

[Madison Boxing]

Anthony Joshua's snapped that is clear to see. And he should of been held back by his team.

I have noticed how people are mocking Joshua, in fact I have noticed how the world is.

How come people don't mock Tyson Fury like this? Somebody quote me and tell me why Tyson Fury is given a pass?

Like I have stated on another thread. Anthony Joshua gets held to a higher standard than any other fighter.

He has been held to a higher standard from the start of his career, and will continue to be held to a higher standard.

And going even further certain people's are held to higher standards.

Look at how the media heavily criticize Lewis Hamilton, but other Formula 1 drivers can act like a complete mess.

People may wonder why I am not just blatantly coming out and saying things bluntly. I don't think I need to.

I am sitting back and watching how low people's behavior is in this aftermath of last night. I am sure these forums, social media and media in general is exposing people.

Nobody will care for their antics, but in time they will care.

Note: I have seen people making threads, stating that Joshua's mask slipped. Again this proves that he is held to a higher standard.

you must be joking ^ fury was probably the most disliked fighter in the country for a long period of time its just hard to slam him after he beat wlad when noone gave him a chance and then lost a load of weight to come out of retirement to beat bum squad.

There's no doubt he's been held to higher standard. I suspect you're implying a specific reason but I think it's more that he's always been the A Side. He was a British Super Heavyweight Olympic gold medalist. That's a big deal.

That status comes with a lot of benefits and he made the most of them. But it also comes with a lot of expectation and pressure. Rough with the smooth.

Actually not being Champion now, and not being in the title picture. May actually be a good thing for Anthony Joshua then, if he wants to fight on.

Just fight on in normal shows, there is no need to do stadium fights all the time.

He snapped mate, I think the pressure that has built up over years 'Kind of came out last night'.

If he wants to continue fighting, I think he should just fight for himself. If another title fights comes his way, then take it 'No big deal'.

Let Usyk, Fury, or whoever now take the spot with all the pressure.

I never enjoyed the fight, and I did not enjoy the build up at all. I don't think it was a great fight ether in terms of elite standards.

That is no disrespect to the fighters. No disrespect to Joshua, the man showed courage. I am talking about, boxing skills and violent action etc.

While I get where he's coming from, the way people are coddling this oversized manchild is ridiculous. He's an adult and responsible for his own conduct. He wasn't under influence of a CTE induced state where he had no control. No it was all his own narcissism on display and showing his true colors.

You can't turn him into a victim for this one.

Strange times when the boxers carry on like YouTubers and the YouTubers pretend to be boxers.

Joshua is an olympic gold medalist & got the red carpet treatment from the very start of his pro career. Tyson Fury is a gypsy who comes from a family of criminals & his dad was in prison for gouging a mans eyes out. He is a drug addict with bi-polar disorder. I would say expectations & standards are a lot lower for Fury.

Maybe. You'd hope that this might make him reevaluate who he has around him. Or at least a mate or a trusted advisor might give him that advice.

I said the same thing after Wilder's meltdown. He clearly hadn't been challenged by his team. He instead doubled down and hired his mate who agreed with the conspiracy theories.

I think AJ is the way he is. He’s always going to keep his yes around him. He will stay completely in his comfort zone from now on.

Joshua hasn't been the same since he broke up with his partner Leon Skinner.

Skinz broke his heart and mind. He's absolutely finished.

That meltdown was

"Anthony is a great person . . "

No he's not. On the few occasions he's been left to speak for himself the real person emerges.

[PRINCEKOOL]

I think people are over exaggerating with Joshua's team.

You have athletes and fighters out there who are a complete mess. Drinking, drugs, and goodness knows what else.

Anthony Joshua does not do any of that. Joshua is surrounded from what I can see, his mates . That is who his team are.

Nobody could of anticipated what Joshua was going to do or say. When he headed back towards the ring.

Joshua has a good team around him. But I agree, that he should not of left Robert McCracken.

I don't think Joshua stays with Garcia. He should ether go back to McCracken, or team up with Don Charles, Adam Booth etc.

I don't actually rate the current American trainers highly for a heavyweight. I think the UK has better trainers for heavyweights.

AKA skins is the one who would have saved him.
