Why does Anthony Joshua get a lot of hate?

[Eff Pandas]

There's too many mfers on the planet for anyone to be loved by even 60% of them. **** man some people gonna be like "f#ck that sweet ole lady who's nice to everyone & volunteers at the homeless shelter".

boxing thrives on racial conflict and disharmony.

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.

Stop trolling ......wladimer klitchcko at 25 weighed the same as Anthony Joshua and pretty sure he has the same percentage of fat in his body as well......now you go back to the olympics and your see even then Joshua was cut from stone and Olympic drug testing is the highest you get in the world.....your last statement shows what a troll you are by even mentioning Tyson fury .....most boxing people and experts shy away from what Tyson fury says and your quoting what him lol....stop trolling

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.

Your an idiot....one dimensional ? He hasn't lost yet and no one has took him beyond 7 rounds ....how's that one dimensional ...u really are clueless lol.....slow ? Clarify that because again I would pretty much guarantee you that's Joshua's handspeed is quicker than Tyson fury's and he also punches with a lot more venom ...you don't need such fast feet as a heavyweight ....u need accuracy and timing and ability to jump on them when there hurt ... Unproven yes and untill fury or wilder steps in the ring with him that will be most people's opinion ....and when he beats them I'm curious what your gonna say then

It's not personal, generally inoffensive, it's what he represents, namely he is part of the Hearn con job and the prize piece at that

His image and behaviour is also very artifical and cynically crafted.

Some people naturally don't like this sort of hype, he is not even tested as a fighter and they saying he could be an ATG, which just suggests the level of con job he is planned for.

[NakiFan]

Saying Joshua is one dimensional is kind of like saying usain bolt is one dimensional because all he does is run fast

[deathofaclown]

I think it's just down to media hype and popularity. The guy sells out PPV's and huge arena's and has beaten nobody of any note. Also he beat Charles Martin for a paper title and the media and casual fans acted like he'd just beaten a prime Ali and is actually a real champ.

I guess these are part of the reasons. Casuals love him, "real" boxing fans have mixed views.

I understand some of the criticism to be fair, but i don't dislike him for it, he's just doing what anybody would. But the hype machine around him is ridiculous when you consider he hasn't really done anything. Even Parker has a better win than anything AJ has. but that's business for you and i understand that too.

Also, it's just the simple fact of when you get so famous and hyped, people just want to bring you down.

Did you actually say Olympic drug testing was the best in the world? You're clearly extremely ignorant and have no idea what you're talking about.

They allow you to have a 4:1 testosterone to epitestosterone range at the olympics before they say that classify you as using PEDs. A normal male will very rarely have over a 1:1 range and extremely rare to have a 2:1. It's not naturally possible to have more than this. So why do they allow you to have 3-4? It's about money. Usian Bolt will never be caught because of his sponsers and brand names.

If they wanted to see if an athlete was really doping, they'd do a carbon isotope ratio test and it would show if any synthetic hormones were in the body since they have isotope from natural hormones but in that case, the majority of olympic athletes would be caught and that would never happen.

Do you seriouly think that Usian Bolt can run faster naturally than anyone else on the planet can if they use PEDs? Very few people would even get close to breaking the 10 second mark.

You do know that he outweighs Arnold? One of the best bodybuilders of all time? I know he's a lot taller but there's no way that anyone naturally can get close to someone like Arnold who abused steroids.

Honestly, ask yourself. If he's not using anything now, what would he look like on steroids? He's literally carrying so much mass right now that if he gains anymore, it will seriously affect his fitness. The human body was not made to be that size nor carry that much muscle and it simply isn't possibly naturally. I have been training in the gym specifically for size for close to ten years now and I'm not even close to the pure mass or definition that Joshua has. I promise you, it's not even close to possible naturally and as I said, you have no idea what you're talking about.

And I know Tyson trolls a lot but he speaks the truth at times, it's pretty obvious when he's trolling and when he's not.

Keep believing your fantasies where the NFL and MLB is all natural and nobody cheats.

For literally years everyone complained about the heavyweight division being dead, the klitschko brothers being boring, nobody being in shape etc, I mean there was a time Chris areolla and Seth Mitchell were the best prospects in the division, remember that?

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

damn white supremicists wanna keep a brutha down

wait joshuas british so is that still rayciss?

Can we keep the black or white out of it....I'm English , I'm white and I really couldn't give two f@cks if he is white or black....He's an Olympic champion ...he carries himself well and you don't hear him downgrade dwarfs ,lesbians or women..I've not heard him talk bad about anybody that didn't talk bad about him first..The quiet ones are always the ones you have to watch it for...he's dedicating himself to his sport and become better....he's a killer in the ring who will Only improve and the reason why he gets hate is because they know he's gonna take over from the guy they support and that's what makes the hate grow.....he got caught with cannabis when he was 19 and young man ..so what ? most people have tried it and alot of people have grown it and everybody has done something when there younger and they shouldn't have ..boxers come from the street not from the university's ....I am much more concerned if a boxer is going round beating women up ( mayweather ) or robbing people outside of bowling alleys ( Broner). .... Joshua looks and behaves like championship material and some people just don't like it

So what about mayweather with his abnormal test rate ....0.86 which is physically impossible for a healthy adult 38 year old ? Is he a PED user ?
