A lot of UK "fans" owe Anthony Joshua an apology

[Atypicalbrit]

Joshua had the balls to get straight back in with this guy after getting schooled and give it a go, same with Ruiz after he got battered.

Anthony Joshua is the best British Heavyweight since lennox Lewis, no he can't beat EVERYONE, but he can beat 95% of them, why a certain group of UK "fans" want to act like Joshua is nothing special and then jumped on fury and Joyce's balls I'll never know.

Fury has brought UK boxing into disrepute, the reality is he has 2 good wins, Wilder 2 and Wlad, the rest of his wins are all domestic level.

Fury is WORSE than David Haye for this sort of stuff, and Haye was bad enough of an embarrassment.

Joshua is not a perfect fighter but he's a damn good fighter, he doesn't duck anyone, he takes his L's and gets straight back in the saddle, he never pulls out of fights, he's professional,

The breakdown after Usyk 2 and if you watch the Louis theroux documentary it's because of the insane pressure the UK fans put on AJ which isn't right, unless he's literally Muhammed Ali it's not good enough for them.

The UK has had TWO elite heavyweights since world war 2, Lewis, and just below that AJ.

Then a level down you have talented but fraudulent Haye and Fury.

Give AJ his ****ing respect.

You win some, you lose some. Most of the best in the business have losses. Usyk is one of the best fighters in any class, and Ruiz is no slouch. If Andy weren't overweight, AJ wouldn't have likely been judged so harshly. Just because the guy is fat, doesn't mean he can't fight. Joshua is a very good fighter, who's still learning, and he has the guts to keep going. Screw these fickle, fair-weather fans.

Nobody owes Joshua **** people are just jumping to conclusions/speculating about Fury considering the hate going on Fury does bring it on himself but it's still assumptions. Joshua is still a no heart big baby with mental problems and puts on a fake persona plus Hearn hyped him up to be the best fighter since Ali which is clearly not the case.

Hearn hyped him up to be the best fighter since Ali which is clearly not the case.

So you hate him for that?

When are you guys going to understand that a promoter's job is to... Promote their fighter.

I don't hate Joshua at all but when you hype something up to be what it's not there will be a fallout when he is eventually exposed

[Mr Giggles]

I don’t owe him nothing, his little cry baby rant after he lost to Usyk was a disgrace, he showed his true nature to me right there with the disrespect he showed to Usyk, chucking his belts out the ring, and then to call him racist too, disgusting.

One thing that must be remembered is that Joshua had a much better professional career than fellow Olympic gold Audley Harrison, who was equally hyped at the beginning.

Joshua has had the second best career of any heavyweight in the last 20 years mate.

Wlad
AJ
Vitali
Fury
Usyk

If anyone is ever hyped to be the best there's ever been (or since Ali) then I think your own intelligence needs to kick in. The chances of them being the best ever are pretty slim. A new best ever doesn't happen very often.

But Joshua is a future Hall of Famer. Twice unified champion. One of the best in the sport over the last couple of decades. With a fan draw that has rarely been matched.

I mean, that young hyped up fighter did ok didn't he?

His detractors tend to set incredibly high standards for a fighter that they don't rate
