Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua: "I Am The Top Heavyweight In The UK"

[Claude Palle]

The writer was giving three examples of legitimate threats in the division. I don't know about you, but Anderson wouldn't come straight to mind. And there are people above Anderson they could have listed.

I just thought it was interesting... when talking about where the contenders come from they were still prepared to dig deep to provide a US heavy. It's getting harder and harder.

Maybe I have a soft spot for Anderson. I have followed him from the beginning and attended his third pro fight. I do consider him a legitimate contender but like I said, he is unproven.

AJ has never beat a legit worthy reigning champion

He won vacant belts off an old retired champion
He got gifted a corrupt hold medal
He bought his first belt off Charles Martin

Disgraceful bum

AJ is a manufactured champion and fighter

Francis will probably chin him.

Joshua’s best wins Povetkin, Parker, Ruiz, Klitschko & Whyte… Losses Ruiz & Usyk x2

Fury’s best wins Klitschko, Wilder (x2), Whyte, Chisora (x3), Wallin… Losses None

Joshua also has wins over Takam, Wallin, Helenius, Pulev, Breazeale & Martin

Fury also has wins over Cunningham & Hammer.

Joshua has the deeper resume but has lost 3 times. Fury has the better wins ending 2 long championship reigns & he is still undefeated. Fury barely escaped Ngganou & Joshua fights him next. We will get Fury/Usyk as well. If Fury beats Usyk he is the man but if he loses then I have to say it is so close that I would need to see them fight to pick a number 1. Fury should have a loss to John McDermott so that is something I factored in. Fury has beaten 2 former world champions & Joshua 3 but one of those wins is against a guy who beat him. It is close but the UK #1 could be determined Feb 17 if Fury becomes undisputed HW champion.

The important thing is in the last 8 years Fury has only fought 2 top-10 opponents - Wilder and Whyte.

Fury has also only defended his titles 3 times his whole career and taken PEDs. Major red flags right here.

Also Joshua is 5 years behind Fury and Wilder in his career. We all know win, lose or draw he will keep on fighting the top guys and they won't. They will fight a top guy every few years. Fury will most likely retire if he beats Usyk even once

If both were on the opposite sides of the street does anyone really think Fury would have crowds going to him instead of Joshua ?

What's that got to do with anything?

"So we're here today in the studio with former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. Welcome AJ, I'd just like to say..."

"I AM GROOT!"

"Sorry what was that again. Do you mean Great ? Didn't quite catch that? "

"I AM GROOT"

"Groot you say. And what is Groot. Is that some of dat roadman teng from the ends?"

"I AM GROOT, I AM GROOT"

"Yes yes, i think you've established that. Moving on to your last fight against a regular sparring partner. You seemed to have..."

"I AM GROOT, I AM GROOT, I AM GROOT!!!"

"Uh huh. Could we please get the champ some more water he seems to have knocked the table over with his..."

"I AM GROOT, I AM GROOT, I AM GROOT I AM GROOT"

"Indeed, thanks for joining us today AJ. Best of luck in your upcoming cross code exhibition match against...

"I AM GROOT. I AM GROOT, I AM GROOT, I AM GROOT. I AM GROOT."

"CUT THE MIC!!!
Look could you please stop pounding the table...SECURITY, SECURITY ??? Get this fücking clown off me"

"I AM GROOT. I AM GROOT, I AM GROOT, I AM GROOT. I AM GROOT."

-AD BREAK-

"And there we have it folks. Straight from the man himself. Not only is he Groot but i think the argument can be made that Anthony Joshua is in fact, the GOAT. Grootest of all time. Join us next time when we'll have Fast Eddie Hearn in the studio to discuss his recent book, "The Art of Windowlicking"

Hw boxing needs Ngannou more than AJ. If he wins, he can be the next in line for Fury/Usyk and, whatever the results, he can be a great test for most top hw out there.

[Damn Wicked]

I'm a bit surprised by AJ's lack of ambition. Come on Joshua, don't settle for 2nd best. Think and speak like a champion, even if you have some doubts.

[Spartan01]

Top HW in the UK yet he has no belts. And all he did recently was beat three very average boxers. He's losing his mind again.
