Comments Thread For: Joshua Anticipates That at Some Point He Will Taste Defeat

[Johnston]

Boxing is such a highly mental sport. There's no way he should be thinking this way right now, much less talking this way for his future opponents to see. Right now guys that have the mentality of Mike Tyson, Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder etc are licking their chops. Joshua just went from wolf to sheep in the eyes of a lot of dangerous fighters.

Im telling you.

Agreed, if this is how you feel you better atleast keep it to yourself. He's been showing his mindset isn't what it should be

[NahMean]

At least he has his head screwed on. There isn’t a single fighter who is invincible.. Every fighter can lose. Most the greats had loses.. and the loss sometimes comes from those you least expect it. At heavyweight if you take any fight lightly and don’t put in the training, it’s only a matter of time.

I don’t see anyone at heavyweight that could currently beat him. Wilder has a punchers chance but I reckon AJ smashes him.. If Fury comes back fit then he poses some problems.

Once Dubois is older and has some experience I can see him becoming the most formidable boxer in the heavyweight division.

But for now he’s the top guy as long as he doesn’t get too big headed he should be able to clean up the current crop of heavyweights. Once he starts thinking he is too good or too powerful for his competition, he will taste his first defeat.

He's being honest and realistic, something hardly seen in boxing.

That's not what fighters should say. If lose in your mind then you just set yourself up for a loss.

Mentality of fury? What mentality is that? He doesn't have the mind of a fighter.

T.B.E. is 50-0 & I NEVER heard him say he can lose.....

He believes he's unbeatable. Even though he's totally wrong he psyches other fighters out with his will. Klitschko was afraid to even press him in the ring.

Maybe he should have kept it to himself but he's not lying. how many heavyweights have retired undefeated other then Marciano?

Klitshcko has always been somewhat gun shy, that wasn't Fury's doing. Believing your unbeatable, doesn't make you unbeatable.

[Califire209]

Very Very true. I agree with you that Rocky Marciano's 50-0 is a million times more significant than any lower weight fighters who may have matched such a record especially if they did it by fighting spectators and their own sparring partners.

49-0 not 50-0 Son

You are dead wrong. Dead wrong.
