Remember when AJs fans were on top of the world!!!???

It is sport you win some, you lose some. All part of the journey, all part of the adventure and battle. It is the same way with life.
Nobody has been exposed. Anthony Joshua lost a fight, over 12 rounds on points 'Big deal'.
All these fighters people claim are fraud and are being exposed. Are the very same fighters you all talk about everyday, ponder about in your everyday life, and you are envious of them.
I think it is Joshua's critics who were really exposed on the weekend.
The best one is the people saying things like
'FINALLY, we see the real Anthony Joshua'
''We have got him, finally his mask as slipped'.
Yes and what did it reveal? A frustrated man who is a bit all over the place in the moment 'Wow, big deal'.
Nobody will obsess over the Usyk fights, because that is not the nature of most people in society these days 'It is about what is happening now'.
The only people who may try and obsess about it are, Joshua's critics, who vicariously live through the opponents that beat him, or in general anything negative that happens to him etc.
Me personally I am not a particular big Joshua fan, I am not a big fan of any boxer. My fighter was David Haye, and since his retirement? I have not really built a strong rapport with any other fighter. I was not devastated on the weekend, I was more disappointed in the fall-out 'It was quite a fall-out to the fight I will admit that'.
I think actually not having the titles and being able to work away from being in that spot 'Is actually a good thing for Joshua's career now'. We are entering into a new Chapter, where this chapter leads? Well that is what we are about to find out. It will be interesting to watch, does Joshua maintain his motivation? Does he will still believe that he can be the best? Or will he just keep things to himself and fight? All apart of the journey, if you are a real hardcore Joshua fan.
Mike Tyson was not a Champion for long periods of time in his career, I still watched his fights, and was still taken on a roller coaster 'As were many'.
It is just the game, nothing has been exposed, it is just the nature of the game, the nature of life.
Note: So to conclude, what has really been exposed is the critics. And the fact that some boxing fans seem to be glory hunters. This is not a mandatory, but if you like? I would like people to tell me on this thread, which fighters are they fans of? I want to see what they say, quote me and give me a list of current fighters that you support? I wonder if they have been exposed and lost any fights, if that is what you think exposure is etc.Last edited by PRINCEKOOL; 08-24-2022, 06:43 AM.Comment

It's a shame we missed out on wilder vs joshua. They were 2 vulnerable undefeated punchers from the U.S. and U.K. It would have been one of the most exhilarating heavyweight fights of all time.
Now they both been beaten multiple times. Boxing always gets it wrongComment

Joshua should be on his knees every day thanking Hearna lot Joshua fans seems to be angry at Hearn? Given Joshua's numerous flaws he way overachieved and became ****** rich and a big part of that was Hearn's clever marketing. Joshua is also lucky having the right looks at the right time, social media and weak HW era, so Hearn's job wasn't that difficult. Maybe Joshua fans should be angry at Hearn, they got fooled into believing Joshua was an ATG talent, when in reality it was all smoke and mirrors.
Both him and Wilder were well protected.. Joshua first loss came to a stand in after another fighter tested positive.. Wilder team thought Fury was done (like everybody else) after years of drug abuse/being obese
Cherry picks gone wrong.. but for 99% of their careers.. the promoters did them goodComment

AJ has always been protected. He fought journeymen (Chares Martin, Molina, Breazeale, Takam, Ruiz, Whyte) & fighters who were no longer in their prime (Klitschko, Povetkin, Pulev). Ruiz was a moment when cherry picking gone wrong. Always ducked the danger in Wilder, Fury & Ortiz.
But cong**** to him, he had a great career making a lot of money... not only for himself but for others too. Usyk just made $49 million thanks to AJ.

AJ & wilder are both damn good, just not top level, no harm in that, u have to hype guys up to sell to the public, its not called a hypetrain for nothing, i mean look at 135 and 147 now, hype trains at full speed & thats how it is and will always be and thats a good thing, they will all lose eventually unless they are real duckers and divers who protect the 0 at all costsComment

I always had my doubts about Joshua, but the loss to Ruiz (more than the loss itself, the way he lost basically quitting) and the subsequent rematch where he won in cowardly fashion against the inmobile blob, proved to me that Joshua was a hypejob and never the MAN of the division
ever since those fights, I realized he never was the top dog of the division, it was all a mirage.
I fully expect Wilder to flatten him if they ever fightLast edited by lopetego; 08-24-2022, 09:15 AM.Comment
