because he was being touted as the next ATG,
and I knew better. However, I feel like I can start
to like him now that the veil has been lifted.
He is what he is. An offensively excitng, yet flawed fighter.
It's just difficult to deal with those who are still in denial.
When he beat Klitschko, I knew he was not the new boss.
Everyone else anointed him because he went to war, and
survived against Klitschko, but that's what made me doubt AJ.
How do you go-to-war, back-and-fourth, with Klitschko!?
I appreciate Klitschko, but he was completely befuddled
and stymied by Fury, and in his previous loses he had been
starched by punchers without much resistance.
Klitschko had never been involved in a war in his life,
and he had a reputation as a careful boxer who could not
deal with much heat. Joshua, a young man in his prime,
made old-man Klitscho seem like a virtual Arturo Gatti.
It was an exciting fight, but nobody should have thought
Joshua was the next ATG because of it. Seriously.
