Comments Thread For: Joshua Acknowledges Last Performance Was Poor, Vows To Be Much Better Against Whyte

[786]

I mean, he'll be right if he starts to look good again. Boxing has a short memory when people start winning.

Personally I think he's shot. Andy Ruiz took his fighting instincts off him. But if he finds them again, win, lose or draw, I'll respect that.

I think it's better to leave hyping him to his promoter. He just needs to get back to finding what he lost and do his talking in the ring.

I think he's fine physically, it's mentally where he's shot and that's what I'm getting at. If he was saying that he wants to improve on his previous performance and wants to prove that he's still one of the best in the division it'll at least show he has the right attitude going into this fight.

After seeing the headline, it was disappointing to see that it was Hearn's words and not AJ's as the title suggests.

Was Fury vs Wallin a poor performance? Fury getting battered and busted up real good, by a THEN domestic barely European level fighter 'Even still right now Wallin is not a proven World level fighter, he has not got the wins on his resume'.

Joshua won 95% of the rounds vs Franklin, and was never in trouble of losing the fight 'Joshua won the fight in second gear, and for the first time actually fought like a Super Heavyweight.

I.E Joshua worked everything off his solid jab, and when Franklin tried to work with his inside game 'Joshua tie Franklin up and wrestled him on the inside. Joshua has never shown this ability in all of his previous fights, he has always seemingly had no idea how to tie a fighter up USE his brute strength to disrupt the action'.

I think Joshua's performance vs Franklin was satisfactory, from a technical perspective.

I know some folk will disagree with me when I say this, but skill for skill Anthony Joshua in terms of technique and text book moves 'Is a more correct and superior fighter to Tyson Fury'.

Fury technically is a extremely clumsy fighter, and similar to Amir Khan there are always moments of completely technical calamity in his fights 'If the fights continue into the latter rounds. Or sometimes early on in fights'.

I can inversion Joshua out boxing Whyte and winning 95% of the rounds, if that is what he really wants to do 'But if Joshua decides to feed the public with a more aggressive fight, the action may be more chaotic and the fight may appear more competitive than it should be'.

Note:Tyson Fury is smart, you will very rarely ever see him criticize himself to the public 'Maybe behind close doors, but goodness me not like this. Not like how Joshua is in some ways, I have to say it? He is selling his performances out.

Fury's performance vs Whyte and Chisora was underwhelming. Fury was doing nothing vs Whyte before the knock-out 'If the rounds would of continued as they were, it would of been one of Fury's most underwhelming ever fights. And Chisora was semi-retired, Fury's best mate and miles out of condition 'Still Fury was unable to deck and legitimately force a real stoppage. Fury would not even fight Chisora head, and he has never fought Chisora head on'.

Tyson Fury has been given this stereotype, that he is some sort of monster these days who destroys all fighters 'But the facts of his career are, that Fury does not move forward or fight other Super Heavyweights or Heavyweights who he does not out weigh by 40-50 pounds'.

Fury fought Wilder in this fashion, YES and Wilder has big punching power. But Wilder in terms of brute strength, is not a impressive fighter 'It is one of his worst attributes as a fighter. Fury also out weighed Wilder in all of their fights, by vast amounts even when Wilder tried to play the body building game'.

That is why I don't rate Fury's brute strength, not to the level the media and his hardcore fans try and portray 'Fury just quite simply has not produced the performances head on vs other Super Heavyweights or Heavyweights who he does not out weigh by 40-50 pounds'.

I suspect and theorize that Fury is not stronger than Joshua head on 'Especially this Joshua who is not bothered by weighing in at a low weight'.

If the referee did not manufacture that stoppage for Fury, Chisora was most likely surviving the full 12 rounds 'Yes Chisora was being beaten, but so what? He was still trying and had not been decked. The fight was for the Heavyweight Championship of the World, regardless of whether Chisora would produced a power punch or not, he was still trying in that fight' etc.

Note: People can pipe down, about all the mythical head to head match ups involving Tyson Fury. We seen Lennox Lewis out of condition by his standards opt to move forward and bull Vitali Kiltschko another Super Heavyweight 'Fury has never done this, he has not produced these feats of achievement on his resume'.

I am not saying that Fury is not a great fighter, the man is a great fighter 'He has some good abilities, but he is overrated in many area's'. Fury is not fighting many aggressive powerful punchers head on from past era's, because it is not just about the punching power it is about brute strength and also technical ability'.

Fury's win vs Wilder is a mega win within this era 'But I think far too many people, cite that performance to passively try and make out that Fury could beat any past great big Heavyweight puncher. When in reality it was not just power you was dealing with and trying to overcome, it was sophistication of attack, it was brute strength and endurance 'Wilder as a fighter no disrespect I rate him as a fighter. But Skill for skill Wilder does not encompassed all of those skills and attributes to a high level, outside of his punching power' etc.

"As soon as he gets hit" ? He never forgot NYC and how drunk he got in the ring that night. He will never want to exchange with anyone again. Guy would be afraid to exchange a pair of sunglasses on a sunny day, guy is so gun shy he would be afraid to exchange words a stranger. Whatever he thought he was pryor to NYC n Ruin Ruiz - he is haunted by the meomory of all that reality about himself in the ring. He only feels safe around Eddie..................

Ruiz broke Joshua’s pride when he showed AJ he can’t stand and trade. Usyk broke Joshua’s brain when he showed he can’t dance and box either

Fury beat up a dead man. 40 year old Povetkin hit Shyte with such a clean uopercut that he
was literally out on his feet. The rematch was a joke because Povvie just had covid and
Hearn literally pulled him out of the hospital so Whyte could beat him.

Whyte is nothing but a glorified journeyman. He was also beat up by Wach even though he
got the win. Against Fury, he did nothing and fell over from a glancing shot to the face.

How that dismal performance rated yet another "retirement fight" against Joshua I have no idea.
Likely a fix.

The issue isn't that he can't stand and trade, or that he can't move and box.

It's that he stood and traded with the wrong guy. Then he moved and boxed against the wrong guy.

When he moved and boxed against Ruiz he could absolutely do it.

If he could have drawn Usyk into standing and trading he might have stood a better chance.

Horses for courses.

So he can dance around the 40% bodyfat guy, but he can't around guys who are boxers?


that sounds worse TBH

[TMLT87]

I suppose a silver lining to this fight would be if we at least get to see Shyte ****ing demolished with an uppercut yet again.
