I have never called his performance against Wladimir as a "Masterclass"..I have always said, you would struggle to see a 3 minutes highlight reel, where steady punches were landed. It is the way he wasn't intimidated by going to Wladimir along with all the advantages stacked in Wladimir's favour, that is more impressive.
Can anyone deny these double standards against Joshua?

White Americans don't like him cos he isn't American. Black Americans don't like him because he isn't the right type of black.
Who cares? American heavyweights are shyte.Comment

It's interesting when people say AJ was scared to engage Ruiz. It's about risk. If there's a 5% chance Ruiz could hurt AJ in an exchange, why risk it when you know you can easily outbox him?
The entire dynamic of what AJ was involved in, changed after he lost. The pbc wanted AJ out the way, suddenly Wilder was talking about ducking Fury and fighting Ruiz. Ruiz via al haymon was fking around and publically trying to trash Eddie Hearn and AJ.
You had the pbc talking about creating a new belt. You had Americans owning the world titles. AJ losing would have been a major L for boxing as a whole. So if i'm team AJ i'm telling him 'dont even think of messing around in there, dont take risks'.
I was more impressed with how AJ boxed. Most people didn't think he could do it. they said 'he cant learn to box in 6 months'.Comment

I think Joshua got so much $h!t about losing to Ruiz because of how much of an underdog Ruiz was in the 1st fight, also, he didn't just beat AJ, he smacked him around, I will give AJ credit for beating him in the 2nd fight, but that does not nullify the fact that he was KO'd by Ruiz, he was a huge favorite, it was a very big upset.Comment

Why are certain opinions guys said and generalizing entire fanbases?
1. People (not me) gave Joshua shyt cuz he lost to a late replacement, got destroyed. Then came into the rematch and seemed to be scared to engage. If Wilder somehow refused to engage vs Fury in the rematch ge would get called a pssy.
2. I don't get why this wasn't apart of your first point.
Floyd fans had to deal with his performances being labeled as running. And Joshua aint half the fighter Floyd is!
Im 100% alot of Joshua fans were apart if the fans critiquing Floyd for running. I guess Joshua became above the running stigma once he did it. Which is a double standard.
3. Wlad was old and Joshua benefited from it. And Wilder to this day can't escape the criticism of fighting a guy "with high blood pressure" The difference is... Ortiz wasn't once the caliber of fighter Wlad was. If he was Wilder would have got the same criticism
Quit whining......
Thanks brotha, saved me the words

Regarding your first point bro, Wilder has no choice but to try and engage, he doesn't have a plan B fellah, he can't box.Why are certain opinions guys said and generalizing entire fanbases?

Wilder has a s**t resume, s**t fans, lies, ducks, whines, makes excuses, lost to Fury twice. He is garbage bro - and a cowardly lying piece of s**t who says he wants to kill a man. What's to like? Seriously...he's a turd.Comment

Because he said he was going to come and knock Ruiz out, and instead he ran for 12 rounds from someone significantly smaller than him. Would have been like if Canelo fought Manny Pacquao and had been on the back foot the whole night.Comment
