Cause he's Black and seems cool. Most Boxing Scene posters are members of white supremacy groups.

Let's put it another way. He's 6 ft 6, 106 kg at 26 years old and about 6-8 percent bodyfat. He was also kicked out of the Olympic team for possession of drugs. Anyone who has any decent knowledge of sports and bodybuilding can see he is clearly using steroids. The human body is not designed to be that size and muscular and it's simply not possible naturally. Find me one boxer before the 1980s with anywhere near that level of muscularity and size at 6'6. It's simply not possible.

Tyson Fury even said when he saw Anthony Joshua, he looked like a pumped up bodybuilder full of steroids.

Why does it always have to be about being black for you idiots? From my perspective, I dislike the fact that he is overrated by the media and fans before he has done anything. The English media call him champion already and ignore Tyson Fury even though all he's done is win a paper belt off the worst champion to ever hold one. Lets not pretend it's a foregone conclusion that he becomes a great either. He certainly might, but he's not been in against literally anyone half decent. He showed he's stationary as hell vs Whyte and would have been smashed against the top fighters if he fought like that. So in conclusion he's a work in progress but lets stop anointing him when he's only beat ****ing cans.

Then we get Joshua

Young
Massive puncher
Entertaining
In great shape
Black

Pretty much everything people clearly wanted in a heavyweight. Comes along, wins an early title, has a great start to his career, putting on exciting fights.

And he gets hate....

Makes no sense to me, can someone explain

Who hates him? He gets no hate...

What I have seen is people calling it like it is: AJ is a power puncher, he is exciting, and he is in great shape. I wouldn't call him entertaining, not personality wise, maybe in the ring. And his color would only matter to a racist.

AJ is also one dimensional, unproven, and slow.

Like most fighters, he has strengths, and he has flaws. Calling like it is isn't hate, it's keeping it 100 like a C-note.

People want a black heavyweight? Who exactly?

Also he's clearly on roids.

Same reason GGG gets hate. He's popular and exciting and will probably beat their favourite fighter!

It's why GSP became hated in MMA among the idiots. It's why Jon Jones is hated. Because they beat the "haters" favourite fighters with ease.
