Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua: The Fear of Losing Keeps Me Motivated, Focused

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Anthony Joshua has revealed he is driven by a fear of losing and conceding his status as the world's leading fighter. Since unifying the WBA, IBO and IBF heavyweight titles with his dramatic stoppage defeat of Wladimir Klitschko and amid Floyd Mayweather's retirement, Joshua has become perhaps the world's highest-profile fighter and inherited boxing's biggest scalp.

I think he meant to say Wilder instead of "Losing"

And fear of fighting keeps Wilder running

Fear is the mindkiller...

That he is scared of losing shows he is scared fullstop.

Not a healthy trait if you're a prize fighter and not something you would want to weigh heavily on your mind as it does him.

Its like he now wishes he wasnt fighting someone he knows he could lose to.

Should have stuck to crushing cans and fighting old men then.

No way will he want to fight windmill or the gypsy king or anyone he's scared he might lose to.

Dude just lost any amount of respect I had for him and he probably doesn't even realise the huge psychological advantage he's handed not just Oilskin, but all his opponents.

If they dont back ever. The bullying effect of being the invincible giant robot doesn't work.

As witnessed by backing away from the staredown with Parker first and requiring extra external motivation from Higgins to talk smack to him and make him angry . Anger is also a wasted emotion in the ring.

Its like he needs to make this personal with Parker to perform but for Parker is just business.

Oilskin is there to do a job and he's not scared of the outcome nor athey that he has to hurt a guy to do it.

All the signs say the giant glass jawed robot is rattled beyond belief!

Keeps him from fighting Wilder to

Reeks of fear, that's why he's ducking Wilder.

Hearn please hurry up and speak to the media and put a twist to AJ's words so it makes him not look like a imbecile!!!

I'm starting to get a feeling Parker is going to win. I don't know why. I don't want to bet, but I may go for glory in pick'em.
