Comments Thread For: Joshua: Fury Boxed and Ran With Klitschko - I Don't Respect That!

[TheBigLug]

Taking Wlad who hadn't lost in 10 years to school and nullifying everything he does well...or...

Going life and death with Wlad in his 40's, inactive, coming off a loss and getting dropped and almost stopped in the process.

I know which i respect more.

Joshua's fight was only more exciting because he simply isn't that good, that's the truth.

Joshua is far more entertaining. You can't argue with that. You can watch Joshua and Klistchko again and again but Fury-Klitschko? Nah, I never watched it more than once.

It depends if you prefer to watch the sweet science or a basic come forward plodder.

I found it fascinating to watch Fury disarm and dismantle a man who had never previously been outboxed.

So basically, Anthony Joshua is a hater on the Sweet Science of hitting and not being hit. I respect Joshua for what he's done and he's an incredible boxer but he's getting on my nerves these past few months - he used to be quite humble but his head is getting big. I don't like it.

/facepalm

Fury > Joshua anyday

A rapid and extreme increase in pressure being placed on him is the reason we have seen a character shift. We show different sides of ourselves under different situations. He was all quiet and polite when it was all going his way and Hearn was guiding everything. Now, however, there is constant pressure from several angles and nobody on that team, from AJ/Hearn all the way down to the guy that washes the towels, is happy about it.

All this recent display of a change in personality (which we all knew would come eventually) is simply down to pressure. I honestly feel like his 'out-of-character' actions lately are a self defence mechanism because he is uncomfortable with his current position. The public seeing him for who he is at the same time he is being pressured by legitimate challenges.

Joshua is just gutted that he went life and death with a semi retired Wlad in his backyard, whereas Fury went into the Lions den against a prime Klitschko who had barely lost a round in 12 years and took his arse to school.

Rather then "Stay humble" AJ should change his motto to "Stay salty".

Prime Klitschko!?

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

So he doesn't respect boxing as a sport?

[GorillaDog]

Fury defeated a Reigning Heavy-Weight Champ Klitchko. Physically Klitchko wasn't in his prime but fight IQ he was in his prime. The moment somebody loses their out of their prime was always kind of silly to me. Fury would have dismantled any version of Klitchko.

Call it the sweet science if you want but Fury-Klit was one hell of a **** fight to watch. Joshua is vulnerable and definitely beatable but at least he's entertaining in the ring.

Fury did use negative tactics and it was a mostly dull fight, but sounds like AJ is saying the only true way to win a title is to go to war and get a KO, and that if it goes the distance it may as well be a draw.

People want AJ to drop the nice guy act and talk shit but I'm not sure he's all that suited to it. Sure he has a nasty streak, but it takes more than that. If you go back to early Mike Tyson interviews where he's well spoken and humble, he's still really interesting to listen to, so when he turned into a snarling rage monster it makes sense that he came out with a lot of memorable quotes. But if a guy is a bit boring when he tries to be nice then it could be that he's a boring talker no matter what attitude he has.
