Comments Thread For: Joshua: Tyson Fury Has Surprised Me, But Every Fighter Needs Time To Develop

[Oldskoolg]

The way he talks has everything to do with his cultural background. He's of the Yoruba tribe, Nigeria, and that's how their adults speak. Nothing bad about that.

Why is he from a “tribe” and not an ethnic group?

Don't mind those delusional fake boxing fans. I do take a pity on them, they have been worshipping a fake champ, so when they see a real champion they get confused like their fake champ after the beating Fury gave him.

Lol, this is very true.

He’s obviously trying to play a role that’s been mapped out for him by his handlers to endear him to his target fan base in order to set him apart from fighters who people have paid to see lose. He does come off as trying to be some sort of sage or medicine man and it’s truly boring

Yeah, sounds a lot more plausible than the tribal theory pal.

Both are vulnerable. Joshua got stopped by Ruiz, Fury almost got stopped by Wallin on cuts.

AJ hasn't developed since he turned pro

as much as people like to claim he has

he's still a big stiff idiot with no head movement

And he still has the best resume in game beating Povetkin, Whyte , Ruiz and Parker.

Take a look on top 10 guys by The Ring. Joshua beat 4 of them.

Nigerian tribe

He's a former weed dealer from Watford.

He's bigger, better, richer and far more knowledgeable than your fake champ, the windmill bumssquad Wilder.

Now, go to your corner and continue your weeping.

Yeah he's got way too 'preachy.' I think the Klitschko win went to his head a little. All this talk of 'legacy' and referring to himself in the third person while playing 'the guru' card is enough to boil anyone's pi**

Shame really because when he burst on the scene after the Olympics I thought he was a breath of fresh air. Then Hearn made the Whyte card a PPV event and it all went downhill from there

After the Wlad fight, he got real close with him like visiting Wlad and training with him and shti. You can see AJ trying to sound like Professor Wladimir and it's just too much. Like you say, during his amateur days and the Olympics he was far more sensible and to the point. Now it's a pile of gobbledyg00k every time.

Ethnic group is indeed more accurate. I guess you've got my point.
