Comments Thread For: Joshua: As a British Fighter - I Don't Get Respect From World Media!

[champion4ever]

Well it's the price you pay for being a coward. You turned down an opportunity to challenge Deontay Wilder on all your terms and still avoided him. You tried to make it about money but it never was. So you don't get respect from the media by behaving in such an unprofessional manner.

Well at least the U.K British public still loves you though; Even more than Tyson Fury as he did the unthinkable. He fought Deontay Wilder not only once but twice in the U.S. and have defeated him. That was supposed to have been your moment of glory to shine. However, you weren't ready for that kind of challenge.

Anthony Joshua is still basking from that rematch masterful class against Andy Ruiz.

Damn! People don't respect the IBO, WBA, IBF, WBO heavyweight unified champion in Anthony Joshua. He is a good fella and kind.

He's right. Yanks are just a bunch of animalistic 19. century savages. Hope their beloved leader Trump bankrupts them asap.

I'm not a Yank but that's a seriously ignorant comment that only shows what a classless POS you are.

The comment you responded to just shows how white supremacists will turn on anyone black on a dime. See how quickly he associated JoshuA with black Americans just because Joshua spoke his mind.
See how quickly the british label can be thrown out of one doesn’t act/do as he is told according to the white nationalists?
Black Americans understand this because their history has shown them this is the case.....Black Britons are far too trusting and passive. The majority voted for brexit for G-d’s sake......we have a PM that himself has a history of racist statements.
Joshua is wrong about his stance, I do not agree with his statement but the man can disagree with what he finds disagreeble and the fact that someone pulled the race card and resorted to race baiting so quickly shows how they really see him

People don't like AJ because there's literal proof that he's a black supremacist who believes in the superior black race. I mean seriously there's a reason he's associated with the same mentality that exists with African Americans racists.

Maybe if he didn't say the rematch would be in N.Y. first, he'd have a better case, but he's making a habit of saying things, then backing out.

He said he doesn't care where it is. Not 'it will be in NY'. The fact you can't spot the difference tells me enough about you.

Before the annihilation by Ruiz , Joshua was riding high and Tyson was out of the picture.Both he and Wilder seemed to be in competition to see who could get away with facing the least dangerous opponents.Since then Fury has taken back the mantle and both Joshua and Wilder have been emphatically KO'd ..All the talk thereafter makes sense to most , even if not to Joshua.

It’s probably true in a way that foreign fighters may not get the same respect, but let’s not act like our British journalists aren’t biased

Also you can earn more respect..

People look at things on the surface. Fury went into America, beat Wilder and took his belt. No problems making the fights and did what he said. Got robbed in the first fight and made sure it couldn’t happen the second time. That’s how you approach a rematch.

AJ spent a while flip flopping about only wanting the big fights in the UK, which he has said before. He finally fights in USA and get flattened by a guy that isn’t great, then wins a rematch in Saudi playing tag, which is fine, he did what he had to do but it hardly leaves a great statement.

I’m not knocking AJ’s achievements but it’s easier to see why Fury gets the respect recently and considered number 1.

I like this post. Don't know why, but I like it.

Americans don't respect Joshua. He needs to get back over the pond and earn some.

Not sure how Fury has earned that respect by being racist, ****phobic, misogynistic, a drug and alcohol addict and a known PED user.

Just because he made a comeback in his profession and won a world title again, doesn't mean that these things are just forgotten.

As a boxer, he's brilliant. As a person, he is cancer.

You're a liar. Fury has never made any racist comments in his life.

[James Hunt]

Let's look at it this way. You see how Wilder got a lot of respect even after the first Fury fight until people were saying he was the hardest puncher of all time.

Now imagine if AJ was American. He's holder of 3 belts, he KOs Klitschko, the previous dominant HW. And with his nice boy image. Jesus, he'd be more golden boy than Oscar or SRL

Yup, that's also true. They'be eating out of his hands like lil puppies. When savages become puppies.
