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

[Chinned]

I watched Max Kellerman talking about superstars and how USA rarely sees a foreign guy as a genuine superstar due to bias/patriotism/arrogance towards other countries so it's not really a surprise that AJ isn't, when you factor in his loss. DZ is also not a good place to build your name.

He's still big in many different countries, but it's the way it is. If he wants to change it he'll have to take the financial hit and fight over there.

The Rodney Dangerfield of boxing. I don't get no respect. He came to conquer America, but had to settle for Saudi Arabia. And these English guys trashing their own to prove a point. How savage is that?

[Chinned]

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.

I mean....why talk this genuine nonsense here when there are other, genuine, reasons to use? C'mon...

Antisemetic or racist, call it what you want. He’s all the other things you didn’t dispute. Therefore he is a cancer of a person.

As a person that’s from a ***ish family (I personally don’t practice), I didn’t particularly take offence to his comments. The media and banks are controlled by ***s for the most part, so it’s not like he didn’t speak the truth. People shouldn’t be offended by facts.

He might be a lot of things, but certainly not racist.

It don't matter what the world media think. American media hate to give credit to things none American so any none American is wasting their time with that crap anyway. Americans will only give full support to American things, they are just a very insular strange over patriotic nation.

Yeah that must be why so much props have been given to Fury for beating Wilder. You know, cause Americans don't do that

[Rip Chudd]

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.

That's funny because nobody is screaming they're victims more than White American men.

LOL Whut? the fact that their is still a quota system for NFL coaching hires and college admissions that BENEFITS blacks tell me that y'all be crying racism still....

LOL can't get in on your own merits so RACISTTTTTT ( I am Asian yes by default we are college bound).

Well he beat your crappy champion so they have no choice. Joshua couldn't destroy him cuz Wilder kept on ducking.

My champion? I wasn't aware that I had one. Tyson got props cause he did what he said he was gonna do. Joshua's debut in America saw him get beaten by an out of shape blob (no offense to Ruiz). After the Fury fight if you go on ESPN or other American sports outlets all props were given. After the Joshua vs Ruiz fight in NY if you were on those same outlets they kept saying "How do you lose to a guy like that"

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

AJ got those belts off the fattest champ in history who didnt train for the fight.

Beating an already beaten, beltless, 40 year old Klitchko is hardly amazing.

Nice boy except for his racist comments, and being a convicted drug dealer.

Remember this comment of his... what a great nice guy ... "If Ruiz Talks ***** - I'll Break His Jaw, Hurt Him Really Bad!"

Glad he got the beating of his life.
