Comments Thread For: Usyk Believes Joshua Has Received Unfair Criticism Over Recent Performance

[Richard Hamilton]

if we all needed to be experts in our fields to say anything it would be a very quiet world

OK, doesn't change what I said being true.

Done loads of rounds myself but I don't think that gives me any more right to criticise a fighter than a guy who has done zero. I understand he's talks about feeling the pain but I think he's missing the point .Any fan paying or non paying boxing fan or not has the right to his opinion, just how seriously they are taken is down to the validity of their point. Sorry , in the case Uysk states Joshua said it wouldn't count if he didn't KO Franklin , he didn't and left himself open to the criticism that comes with why he couldn't deliver on his promise.

99 percent have zero clue what they are talking about it.

are u in that 99%?

usyk will need to clarify this, does he mean that some random can do a light sparing session for 3 mins and then is qualified to talk on boxing matters or does this random need a bloody nose, a headache, or is there a sliding scale where someone like conlon was knocked out of the ring completely and his opinion is now elevated lol

OR maybe he means that this random is FORCED to endure round after round v a stronger opponent and suffers, gets knocked down but has to continue, eyes closing, blood flowing and then end just sparko on the canvas, now he can comment on joshua throwing belts out of the ring in a tantrum, seems a bit silly to me anyway

joshua is a legend, his post fight antics v usyk will go down in history as one of the funniest moments on live tv

usyk just has a soft spot for AJ, he recoginses crazy when he sees it, the AJ Hearn smug double act has been broken, i dont need to be doing 12 rounders as a pro to see that

Nah. He’s in decline. And his resume is on par with John Ruiz. Historically a lower tier HW beltholder.

And on top of binning the belts and running around with the flag ,snatching the microphone and the infamous rant , on the way back to the dressing room , some old boy told him he should show more respect (and rightly so ) to which our lad threatened to knock him out and had to be restrained ....not his best night ....mind you some in the know say it was!

The general public don't really care that much for those scenes mate 'It is only you, and some of the other hardcore Fury cronies'.

People move on real quick, worst things have happened in the sport.

The only respect another fighter needs to show their opponent is 'To prepare optimally and not cheat'.

The reason why Usyk is most likely supporting Joshua, is due to respect.

Joshua could of avoided Usyk, but instead he fought him twice 'And by the looks of it? Negotiations for both fights were straight forward, and Usyk was treated with respect.

Multiple Tyson Fury's former proponents do not speak very highly of him.

Wilder, Kiltschko, Whyte, USS Cunningham list goes on. But really mate, I don't really think a fighter should care that much if past opponents speak highly of them 'But I am just making a comparison between Joshua & Fury'.

Note: Anthony Joshua was clearly suffering in the aftermath of his lost to Usyk II. And to his credit he dealt with the consequence 'Himself'.
