Comments Thread For: Shock and awe as Daniel Dubois bulldozes Anthony Joshua

[Patsfan bri]

Joseph Parker has the best set of whiskers in the division!!!

I would agree with that comment. It will be interesting to see who Parker fights next because he is getting close to the point where he is deserving of a shot at the titles.

[A.B Counterhooks]

Firstly, I would like to begin this post by saying 'I have never been so adamant of a fighter winning a fight before the actual fight. And I have never been so wrong, about the outcome of the fight and the action. Since Miguel Cotto vs Manny Pacquiao 2009'.

Daniel Dubois deserves big credit, during the grand arrivals I did originally think? That Dubois appeared to be completely shook 'And Anthony Joshua in comparison, the entire events seemed like one big home coming for Joshua who was in his element in-front of all the camera's, boxing fans and worlds media'.

Never before in this forum, have I ever called a fight 'Many months before the actual fight night. I always like to wait until the weigh in, before I will 100% back a fighter'.

Most recently, I took this approach with the Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Uysk fight 'And on the morning of the fight, I pretty much told people that? Oleksandr Uysk will fight Tyson Fury in the manner in which he did to win'.

Note: On the day of Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois 'If I am being honest with people here, I began to have a increased amount of mercy towards Daniel Dubois. I had seen a few individuals stating things like? This is one of those fights, were they would not like to see any fighter take the loss'.

I believe Anthony Joshua's loss to Daniel Dubois is his worst of his career 'For a fighter with such vast experience, and accolades which he has achieved. Skill for skill, it was a terrible performance. The only positives Joshua can take from the fight, is that he kept on getting back up time and time again when he was being whacked. That is it'.

I don't think Anthony Joshua deserves a rematch, and I believe Daniel Dubois 'Should rightly, be in line to fight the winner of Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Uysk II'.

And in regards to Anthony Joshua and his next moves 'There can be no rebuilding process, when you have the experienced of Anthony Joshua. There can only be comebacks'.

If Joshua is to continue fighting, then I personally think there are three fights out there 'That make complete sense for him, and the fighters he will be challenging'.

Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder, Andy Ruiz Junior vs Anthony Joshua III, or Dillian Whyte vs Anthony Joshua II 'Those are the three match ups, that I believe are the best fights for Joshua. As they all make sense universally to the boxing community, the sport and the fighters competing'.

To conclude: People must understand with me, that David Haye was my fighter 'And before that it was Mike Tyson'. Since the retirement of David Haye, I have never really built a very strong rapport with any fighter. When the David Haye retired, my involvement in boxing as a analyst and supporter altered.

Along with David Price, Anthony Joshua has been one of those fighters who I admired 'His story and work ethic. Therefore I have always wanted to see Joshua achieve in the sport

The battle between the top-4 Heavyweights of this era, has once again 'There has been a tectonic shift in the competitive landscape'.

When Anthony Joshua fought Oleksandr Uysk in their first fight 'His entrance song for his ring walk was: Robert Tepper: No Easy Way Out'.

It was Rocky Balboa who stated that 'Boxing is a metaphor to life'. Meaning that metaphorically on a micro level, the very things that boxers experience. The challenges they take on, the fights they endure. The courage they show, the victories they achieve, the losses they suffer. To live is to fight, we are all fighting something. It is the resistance we show, that confirms that we are still in the game, still living to fight'.

It is official now, Anthony Joshua is for sure in the conclusive stages of his career 'In 2024, we have witness three Heavyweight Mountains fall. Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and now Anthony Joshua'.

All of those three fighters have shown us, that? There is no easy way out 'No matter how powerful, influential, or great a fighter believes they are'.

We have all witness greater fighters, more colossal mountains than Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua fall 'Prince Naseem Hamed, Muhammad Ali, Roy Jones Junior, Mike Tyson'.

I will bring this post to a conclusion by saying this? Can Heavyweight Mountains resurrect themselves? Because what I do know, is that fighters such as Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and even Deontay Wilder. They do not just disappear after a loss'.

A fighter like Anthony Joshua exists to strive and be the absolute best 'People may mock Joshua, but nobody can deny? That he has competed in the game, with the ambition of striving to be the best that he could be'.

And if Anthony Joshua continues to fight 'He is going to have that ambition still as a competitor' etc.

I'll stick with this.

'No it doesn't feel free to tell me what the "English" national anthem is you clown, the "British" anthem isn't the same as an English anthem you smooth brained cúnt'.

Well, there you go, that epitomises the best of British, debonair charm, sophistication & effortless wit.

Why would I deal with anyone who's making false assertions with such conviction with "charm,sophistication and wit"!?

My apologies that you think it's a good thing to deal with morons with kid gloves but I don't.

Also it's a joke that people believe that the "English or British" epitomize any of those things.

Clearly the people who believe those things have never ever dealt with Brits and only have some delusional picture in their head from movies/TV.

Fury and his idiotic behavior is a more accurate representation of the average Brit, not the shít you've seen on the big screen.

A while back when this fight was announced I stated that this was a fight decided by who lands the first punch.

You replied basically that this fight wasn't cause for that boxing cliche.
I enjoyed reading your rebuttal then and your post today,
Well written and honest posting.

Cheers man, thanks.

Yes, I don't like relying on cliches or putting too much value on them.

Note: But maybe they have appeared within, the vocabulary of the boxing community for a reason. I stated in another one of my posts, that when you observe boxing for many years and decades. You most likely experience seeing sequence's in performances and fighters careers repeating themselves over and over again.

To the point were you have the ability to just 'Sort out what information is the most relevant and important. And when you do this? The conclusion you reach can seem very obvious'. This in my opinion is how experience has effect upon the game. And from this certain cliches have been created throughout boxing history.

Sometimes they may be relevant, other times maybe new sequences appear. Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Uysk I 'Did not quite adhere to the boxing cliche, that people in mass were using to dismiss Oleksandr Uysk's chances of winning the Undisputed Heavyweight titles. Against a Super Heavyweight in Tyson Fury.

In that particular fight build up, I never bought into the cliche.

To conclude: I still believe Anthony Joshua can win a rematch. But Daniel Dubois should really be in line to fight the winner of Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Uysk II etc.

No it doesn't feel free to tell me what the "English" national anthem is you clown, the "British" anthem isn't the same as an English anthem you smooth brained cúnt.

P.S. Also ask anyone who's parents aren't of English origin but they are but aren't White if they're "English" guarantee you wouldn't find one person identifying as English but "British", so your little spiel was redundant.

What an arrogant, ignorant non-entity you are. And do you REALLY think that swearing and being abusive adds weight to your argument? And your racist assertions are just ridiculous and further underline how ignorant you are. I have black and Asian friends who are proud to be British and would laugh at your pathetic statement.

However, i'm not going to get in a war of wits with you, i refuse to fight with an unarmed man.......

So you just prove my point for me with your redundant diatribe, "proud to be British" exactly...

You mental midget, they don't consider themselves English.

The fact you're so slow you can't parse the difference between the two is laughable to say the least.

There is always a troll on every website forum who cannot for the life of them conduct a civilised conversation with other members who have conflicting viewpoints. Their predictable response is to try to insult the intellect of other people who they have never met, and haven't got a clue who that person is....PATHETIC.
It's usually a sign of the limited intellect of the poster trying to deflect THEIR shortcomings on the other person.

Now let me expand on my previous response, I use the word 'British' in a general sense, are you bright enough to comprehend that? In other words, we have black English people and English Asians who, oddly enough describe themselves as ENGLISH.
Same with black and Asian WELSH, who identify as WELSH, black and Asian Scots who identify as Scottish. Collectively BRITISH.....Keeping up so far?
And finally, those people regardless of skin colour, ethnic origin, or what country of the UK they are born in, just class themselves as BRITISH.

It's not difficult for any reasonably intelligent person to grasp......but i could be mistaken.

No they don't "describe" themselves as English, the census has proven this time and time again.

They will identify with Scotland and Wales but not England, they'll always choose to tick British even when the option to tick English is there.

it's well known in Britain that "BAME" people don't, you're being disingenuous and trying to act intelligent and failing miserably at it.

So really don't try and be patronising when you're a simpleton who doesn't understand basic things like this, you ignorant buffoon.

P.S. You're the one who started insulting people's intellect, son, with your "war of wits" comment.

So it's quite hilarious to me how you're attempting to gaslight me in a conversation where what you’ve previously said is noted/accessible for everyone to see.

Oh dear, you really are struggling with all of this aren't you? So my black and Asian friends who identify as ENGLISH are all liars?
Could you tell me what exactly these people put on their census returns seeing as you seem to know them personally?

And yet again, you use the feeble and predictable response of trying to insult the intellect of the person you are arguing with because you have nothing of any substance to say.
The precious census you are clinging to will show many people are followers of the 'Jedi' religion, has it occurred to you that a lot of people have no time or interest in the census and will tick certain boxes just for a joke?

As for me being a 'simpleton' and 'buffoon', well i've not done too bad out of it. Two university degrees behind me, a pretty decent career that enabled me to take early retirement. Not too bad for a 'simpleton'.
So over to you, university professor? senior scientist, leading academic possibly? Or just doing a menial job and getting abuse and bullied by you boss or co-workers, so you come on forums like this to unload your pent up bile, seeing as you wouldn't dare to try it out in the real world.

So again, try conducting yourself in a civilised manner, it's not too difficult. I see from a number of your previous posts that you thrive on insulting other members, it's not clever or funny, although you get some twisted satisfaction from it. Which it turn speaks volumes about you.

And that old chestnut of trying to claim intellectual superiority over everyone you argue with doesn't work, the majority see straight through it. For that to work you need to make damn sure you are the smartest member of this forum and be consistent in backing that assertion up......good luck with that, YOU'LL NEED IT.

No one is claiming you're imagined friends are a liar, I'm claiming you're a liar.

I've already told you what they put on the census, British which is what I said in my initial post before your moronic ass even decided to engage with me.

At the very least have some reading comprehension before trying to regularly insult someones intelligence, Jesus Christ.

I don't care about your early retirement, it's not difficult I retired in my early 30s so what.

As for not saying anything in real life I'd literally say anything I'd say on the internet right to your or anyone else's face with a smile.

Again refer to previous statement about intellect, not only do you lack basic reading comprehension, you've made spelling mistakes in a post you're attempting to insult someones intellect LOL.
