Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn: It wasn't Ben Davison's fault; Anthony Joshua didn't follow instructions

[billeau2]

AJ swerved the best fighters during his peak, slayed by a mediocre opponent and was defeated by the best fighter of this current era. He was a fraud that was found out a few times. The Walin and Nganou fights are perfect summations of him. Lower level opponents that continued his hype . This p***y could’ve been undisputed. Dude really tried to weasel his way with fury leftovers. Satisfied that usyk put a stop to that ish. AJ was a fraud.

That's a bit harsh. I don't think AJ is a fraud. Like all fighters who come into an elite class with their problems, their strengths, momentum at times, setbacks at times... After a while a pattern emerges.

Some guys rise to the top,
other fighters, very talented at times, just don't. Ray Mercer, excellent fighter but never really didn't much and eventually got koed in a lesser sport to boot. Ali always the A side, won epic battles!

At the end of the day AJ is one fighter in a heet. He has won some and lost some... I find it amusing how people either want to make him great or horrible when he is neither.

Fraud? No.
Flawed? Yes. He has weaknesses and limitations but he isn't a fraud. He went out on his shield after 5 very tough rounds.
Y'all believe the hype and then biatch and moan when reality doesn't back it up.

Ben Davison can scream in all of the instructions he want. However, it's up to AJ to implement them. At his current age; Unfortunately, he can no longer do so.

I don't think that Joshua rebounds from this loss like he did against Andy Ruiz. This was not a loss but an asswhooping. He is a ruined fighter now.

He no longer has the same amount of energy, legs, reflexes, chin or timing as he once had back in 2019.

Or were Davidson fault , if you cannot reach your fighter before , during and after the fight in all areas you are to blame , why do you think manny steward were so good , because he could reach his fighters in camp and on the night . Fact
se d your fighter out with the words “10% warrior “ when the fight was lost in the 1st 2 min because he were not ready for what was coming . He couldn’t read a book I’m afraid

You know... It shouldn't matter but, if any fighter had the mentality that it's the trainers fault they are doomed to lose. Even in teaching, which is not the high stakes violence in boxing, any teacher that won't take responsibility for what happened to their classroom is doomed.

I used to tell martial arts students you can't take your teacher with you and put him in your pocket when shiat goes down.

A fighter has to find a way to execute no trainer can do that for them ever ever ever.

So let me get this straight. Huggy Bear Haney gets dropped multiple times and hard, but he's okay, Joshua gets dropped and he's chopped liver?

No one ever said that Haney 26, was ok but yet he still managed to finish that fight on his feet; Against a performance enhancer who was hopped up on dope and illegal substances.

Where as, Anthony Joshua 35, lost for the second time by way of knockout to Father Time. He looked very old in there against Dubois where he never stood chance. He is a ruined fighter now.

Both his reflexes and timing are gone. He couldn’t see the punches coming and didn’t land a punch until the fifth round. Face it! Yes, he is done.

While it’s true that Haney was dropped three times by that scumbag and racist piece of shit Ryan Garcia. However, he never stayed down. He beat the count every time.

While winning many rounds against KingRy in the process. AJ was damaged goods the moment he stepped in that ring against DDD.

He never won a single round in that fight. His ass was whupped from pillar to post from Daniel Dubois.

Luckily, keyboard warriors are not at the level his opponents are.
Then again, Haney, AND HIS CREW, got into a dust up with some short random carny
Wasn't the wipe out people thought it would have been.

Boxers are not given a pass at being criticized.
They are not special or above it.
"They sacrifice their lives for our entertainment, doe !"
No one is forcing them to and most wouldn't be qualified to do anything else.
Grown men making grown men life choices.

Pro boxers would ''demolish'' couch potatoes....and ?

So if you're qualified to call boxers bums etc, yet you admit they could destroy you, what does that make you? I'll take boxing out of the conversation for a minute, and make it easier for you. When is the last time you did 50 pushups, 50 situps, or ran ONE mile? When was the last time you could even look down and see your d...k when you pee? Lol
