It ain't over until its over. Look at Klitschko's career. 3 pre-2015 losses. All humiliating. All to opponents he shouldn't have lost to. After the third loss even Vitali told Wlad to retire. If there is someone knows how to bounce back its Wlad. I doubt he won't help AJ.

Originally posted by FerronK View PostWow.... The hatred for Joshua is amazing to see. The man is a nice man, what is there to dislike about him? I am not a fan of the man, but you have to admire him. Here is the think, you will never like him. And that is okay... but I just hate the lies that now that he lost you can like him. You didnt like him because there was something about him and that isnt going to change..
It's about having disdain for him being touted as the best
heavyweight in the world when I could see that he wasn't.
It's about having to deal with the obnoxious posters who
were convinced that he was the next ATG.
No, I didn't like him, but I appreciate how he's handled his
first loss, and I may start to appreciate him more as he
works his way back into contention.

Originally posted by Lemonhead_Jeff View PostIn my view, Joshua actually improved his stature in defeat.
Not because of his in-ring performance, obviously, but
because of his gracious way of handling defeat.
I knew his defense & movement was mediocre, so I
expected him to lose sooner or later, but I didn't expect
him to handle it as well as he has.
Now that I've been generous and complimented him,
I can agree with you. He's not going to reclaim his lofty
status. He's not going to suddenly start moving his head,
or improve his foot speed. He's not going stop lifting weight
like he's Tony Atlas. He is who he is. An offensively exciting
fighter with enough flaws that his next loss is always just
one-punch away. I can probably start to appreciate him
now that the veil has been lifted, and fans no longer have
false pretenses. I no longer have to argue that Joshua is
flawed because now he's actually proven it.

At least you've admitted you were wrong Paulie, lmao. Half of these Joshua **** blowers made excuses as to why he lost.

Originally posted by FerronK View PostYou are not going to stand appreciating him now. Even when you are being nice, you are also being hateful and condescending at the same time. It is okay not like him, but the vitriol is wrong, he hasn't done anything to hurt you... I feel like if I was Joshua reading your responses, I will cut my wrist and bleed to death... those words are just full of hatred disguise as being nice... I personally hope he retires..
success, but I wouldn't blow smoke up his azz.
He's obviously a very good fighter, but he's got defensive
flaws, and we have a disagreement over his body-building
regime as it relates to his boxing career. I dislike Joshua's
fans more than I dislike Joshua. Joshua has actually
impressed me in defeat with his character, but his fans
are as obnoxious ever.

losing is good. it's part of life. it brings you back to reality.
It has not brought Joshua's fans back to reality, but the man
himself seems to be taking it in stride.
