Comments Thread For: Barry Hearn: Joshua is at Crossroads in His Career, He Can't Afford Another Loss

[Bob]

Yawn, the armchair casual AJ haters are out in force again, writing him off over losing to 2 fighters, Ruiz Jr being a tricky fighter who AJ adapted to brilliantly in the rematch, and Usyk, a 'styles make fights' bogeyman for AJ, who despite his critics is an unbeaten class act who I bet will cause overrated Fury real problems. So why do they hate AJ? Over one 'shop in black stores' comment, whilst Fury has apologised repeatedly for racist, sexist, ****phobic, antisemitic comments and don't even get me started on what comes out of the Bronze Bumsquad's mouth.

Yawn, the 12 post armchair Aj casual fanboy who gives Kanye credit for beating a string of shot old past it 38-41 year olds (4of6) until no coincidence the last 2 he boxed of his own generation both beat him. Who doesn't know all the time's Aj got flattened in sparring (even Dawejko ffs) who over looks the pre shop's comment with his previous on ig calling himself the superior race. Fury has apologised for his past comment's unlike the spoilt entitled to belt chucker who's only relevant through rematchroom clauses.
Neither are perfect but one has faced 2 world number 1s for all the belts in theyre own back yards as the underdog & had the biggest trilogy since Bowe Holyfield in the 90s. Kanye has alway's avoided both.

It's the other way around... he should be fighting for fun, and not give a fcck about win/ loss.

Fun/ entertaining fights will be Wilder, Joyce, Fury, Anderson, Hrgovic, Sanchez, Makhmudov

Fury vs. Chisora proved that people just want entertainment, and AJ can deliver plenty of that.

Barry needs to stop. With all that bollocks. AJ has no damn marbles. His marbles were snatched away by Usyk. Beating retread body bags like Whyte will do nothing to re-establish him. Don't expect him to fight anyone dangerous like The Juggernaut or Otto Wallin. A third straight loss will deliver the final nail in his career.

What about Otto Wallin? No one seems to want smoke with Wallin.

I have noticed quite a few new accounts recently on here nuthugging Joshua & bashing Fury. It reminds me of the old “Klitschko” posters who had alts & held conversations with themselves & actually green K’d themselves too…The nuthuggery lives on!!!

AJ needs 3 winnable fights this year

Stay clear of Fury, Wilder even Joyce

Get back to enjoying his boxing, training camps and sparring, building confidence etc

Then have one last go at it

You see Joshua cannot afford another loss, because his standard is winning. That is the difference between Joshua and 95% of the other Heavyweights.

Fighters like Joshua have to win.

So I don't think people should be gloating about what Hearn is saying. As it just yet again highlights the standard Anthony Joshua is held to, and he himself also holds himself to that standard.

Joshua has still yet to suffer a really bad loss, even during his worst loss he was competitive. He still decked Ruiz Junior, and of course he avenged that loss.

And being beaten on points twice by Usyk, are not devastating losses. Especially when Usyk was battered after both fights.

'for all the marbles' ......Joshua hasn't got any 'marbles' The fight for 'all the marbles' is Fury and Usyk and doesn't involve Joshua who is out of the picture and is looking for yet another trainer , the third in three fights .....ridiculous .

Joshua is searching for a way to improve and win, surely you know that. I have no idea why you are acting so dramatic about his behavior.

The standard Joshua holds himself to, is to win and be the best. He is clearly scrambling and searching for a way to win.

Yes he is out of the picture, the man is a contender now. But nobody can deny, that Joshua still has ambition.

You also cannot deny that Joshua is a major player in the game. Don't lie to yourself mate.

Whoever he fights next, is a big event.

AJ needs a winnable fight next. I expect him to fight Whyte.

'Don't lie to yourself mate' ...are you drunk , my theory is , judging by your 'posts' you are just plain ******.He's only a 'major player' in the mind of Hearn and the casuals and a few deluded 'fans' like yourself who are not bothered about his shyte resume of only old beaten Wlad had done anything before and was too old and beaten to do anything then. If you really believe that Joshua is and should be seen as a 'major player' in the game then tell me who has Joshua ever beaten as an underdog or in a 50/50 fight and whoever he fights next is only a 'big event ' for mugs like yourself .... I'm waiting!!
