Comments Thread For: Joshua: Losing Scares Me, Stays on Your Record For Eternity

[Dark night 24]

This is what’s wrong with boxing. A lot of fighters today are afraid of loosing and duck elite competition. The great sugar ray Robinson had loses and is still consider the greatest of all time! Fighters need to stop caring about that “0” and fight the best!

[Redd Foxx]

I wouldn't doubt those rumors after reading this crap. I can't believe he let that bs come out of his mouth SMH

I love how he emphasizes how significant losing is in boxing, and it's the "one thing" boxers fear. But, then goes on to say that it doesn't define you and you can bounce back.

no wonder he keeps his mouth shut in those face to face interviews lmao

Sugar Ray was great, but lets not act like he wasn't a fantastic ducker too.

Totally right. Joshua agrees too considering he says this:

"[Roger] Federer is still known as a great, but we don't know the 10 people who have beat him before. For boxing, that loss stays on your record for eternity. Losing doesn't define you though; it's how you move forward that defines you. You have to know where you are going.

When I look at heavyweight boxing, you look at [Wladimir] Klitschko, and he wanted to be a three-time heavyweight champion of the world, he lost and came back - If I lost, I'd dust myself off and go again. It would show people's mindset if they discredited everything I had done up until that point because of one defeat."

The headline of this article is sensationalist nonsense, probably designed to appease the masses. Joshua doesn't even use the word scared once and he immediately follows the eternity line with the fact a loss wouldn't define him. Doesn't sound like someone that is unwilling to take challenges...

Exactly I caught that too. He doesn't seem like he's too confident to be talking about losing a week away from the big fight lol

[sotgoda]

Holy Mackerel! He finally came out with why Wilder is his kryptonite!

Yes, he knows he will get exposed. That's why you see the ugly reactions when AJ hears Wilder's name. Won't be surprised if he is having nightmares about facing Wilder too.

Boxing Scene NEEDS to give a reading course to the Wilder fan club ....

All joking aside ,ive never seen such a dumbed down group of ppl that follow boxing, i wonder why ? lol.

I could see if they were trolling but their really this illiterate and the FEW who can read still fail to comprehend the initial message ...


How about it Boxing Scene , can you get them a free reading course ?

Everyone loses at some point unless they are selective with the match making or don’t fight for long.
All it takes is old age or having an off day. Or sometimes someone just had your number.
Even Mayweather didn’t fight a lot of guys or in their prime.

Mayweather is factually unbeatable. He was 37yrs old and 150lbs facing men who were 165lbs who were 22yrs old, and HUMILIATING them. In fact, once he got old thats when he started beating those big young dudes, and making it look easy. He is the only one in history that is factually unbeatable. Anthony Joshua, is not.
