Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Breaks Character - Jabs Fury, Wilder, Parker

[Travycat]

I don't think this is too out of character for him. I think media are just making a fuss because boxing's new "role model" dropped an F-bomb. He's called Fury fat before (Fury now being a ROLL model...burn). The other two tweets to the other two champs were whatever. He's a boxer, not a tickle monster. And hey, maybe he got a bad batch of juice and it's making him angry? This world has gotten so sissified and PC that when a boxer talks trash to another boxer who's said even worse, everyone jumps in with "I guess we see who you really are" like some sensitive dude who's high school gf just dumped him lol.

People keep saying "be humble". Can't he stick up for himself? Or is that not "humble"?

AJ did not break any character. Marketing has many of you guys disillusioned. AJ isn't and never was humble. But he presents an image of humility even though you can see him jabbing at people. E.g. Wilder, Breazeale, Haye, even Wlad during the fight and after he won the fight. So, please let's stop this crap about fake humility. He is arrogant, just like Wilder and Fury are. You rarely get to the top without some pride and overconfidence. There's nothing wrong with that.

At the end of the day, they need to fight. Who cares about all these fake persona in and outside the ring?

What does being humble have to do with sticking up for yourself ? You guys really have to get out more if you think being humble is just quietly sitting in a corner .Joshua is like the guy you hit but than CRY when he hits you back .

Im not so sure you guys know what humble means bc it means not arrogant which would have nothing to do with those tweets . smh

Couldn't have put it better myself. They have all been taking shots at aj since he beat klitchko now all of a sudden he replies and he's the bad guy

Taking shots at AJ? Please... AJ has been talking crap about Fury for a long time. Even after he beat Wlad, he said Fury ran but he stood and fought. Isn't that a jab? It is you AJ fans that cannot take it just like your idol.

AJ has been talking crap for a long time but he markets himself well. He is not a bad guy in anyway, but he is neither also this good guy that you are trying to make him be. And he is not humble - not in anyway.

Thank you! Especially in boxing where I think irrational confidence is probably a must!

I don't think this is really breaking character based on what we've seen. AJ is careful to appease sponsors and keep fans on side but to call Fury a fat f.uck is accurate at this stage.

Fury loves it anyway. He needs a fire lit under him. And that promotion when it happens benefits from some back and forth. Instead of Fury being the bad guy. Fury will be the underdog if that ever gets made so the whole stay humble to the max thing won't work.

Also AJ fans will want back and forth with Wilder as Wilder will be coating him off for months. In Ricky Hatton's words it's not tiddlywinks!

I've known AJ from back when we were both amateurs and I've said on here before, he isn't quite the "nice guy" he comes across in the media but he certainly isnt a bad guy either.

He ALWAYS has times for his fans, I've been at his gym when he's trying to work and get his tactics right and fans turn up and he does not turn down a single photo or signing.

At the end of the day, he's a young guy, lots of money, lots of fame, of course he's gonna be pissed off by Fury constantly having a go at him and of course he wont be perfect but he is a good man.

As for Koogan, he better watch out lol He's a fat **** too

Great insight, ta.

Revisioning history never works ,the truth is you like many others haven't a clue what you're talking about and if we looked up your post history it would show that !
