Tyson Fury remembering this confrontation...

because joshua has some class, a professional fighter doesnt t go for a 'straightener in the car park' to settle a grudge when theres millions that can be made doing it in a ring

Joshua seems pretty insecure. I believe Fury's version of events.

I think its a little silly to be saying that Joshua, Wilder, Fury, Whyte, Parker or whatever HW that is active now, wouldn't beat anyone on that list.

Firstly, if all of those guys came out of retirement, they'd be destroyed inside 1 round. Even Charles Martin would beat all of these guys.

Secondly, being born in an era where none of these names are active, isn't anyone's fault. Wilder, Joshua and Fury are fighting who they can.

Yes, those fighters were great in their day. Those days are gone unless you have a ****ing time machine. Nothing you can do about who is active now versus the past, its just a matter of opinion. Unless you can 100% prove that those guys would beat the current champs, just quit posting garbage.

You either have a reading comprehension problem or didn’t read it period. I said all on his list other than THE TWO TOP DOGS I.e. HW champs. Furthermore, comparisons are made all the time such as all time greatest boxers lists. Birth (a canard argument) does not excuse one from making the obvious observation that the present HW division is weak and is garbage as compared to the time I have cited. You’d have to be a fan boi jock strap hugger not to come to the same conclusion

To come to a conclusion that the current HW division is weak then you are obviously comparing it to the past. I'm sure in 15 or 20 years time, there will some other people talking about boxing who will say that this era was amazing and the current HW scene is weak! Its just a little boring. Don't be a little cry baby.

Why do I have to hug jock straps because I have a difference of opinion? So because you disagree with my opinion, you also must hug jock straps?

I personally really love the current HW boxing scene because its dominated by the British fight scene

Yeah Joshua does seem pretty insecure .. this time last year he weighed over 400lbs and was depressed, drinking heavily, and had a serious ******* addiction!

That's mental illness, not insecurity lol

I can tell Joshua is very insecure

Did you see his face before Povetkin? He was pooping himself. Fought like it, too

He fought a highly skilled veteran that was guaranteed to bring the fight to Anthony Joshua, of course he fought cautiously until he had him figured out. His footwork and that jab to the body were beautiful, and when the time came to close the show he made sure it was emphatic.

and lol at you educating me on insecurities when you're actually talking about AJ having pre fight nerves, something that's not unusual in combat sports.

If feeling no fear and having balls of steel mean you end up with a 40-0 record having only faced one quality opponent, or alternatively it means you end up exiting the sport in disgrace during your prime like Fury did, then I think maybe both those characteristics could be overrated.
