Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Rejects Talk of Weaknesses, Says Pulev is Only Focus

[KingGilgamesh]

What's the boxing machine though!? How can Fury justify his position as #1? Look at how he became #1...

1. Beats Klitschko is a 12 round borefest. Ok, it was great that he went and beat Klitshcko, fair play to the guy.
2. Ducks his rematch.
3. Pops dirty.
4. Retires but doesn't.
5. Becomes a drug addict and alcoholic.
6. Fights Pianeta and Seferi. 'Oh but thats his comeback' so he gets a pass.
7. Somehow people forget that the actual result of the 1st Wilder fight was a DRAW! A draw with the least technically capable HW boxing champion of ALL TIME! Good one!
8. Fights Schwarz and Wallin. The Wallin fight should have been stopped by the Dr - anyone else, it gets stopped.
9. Beats Wilder and gets credited with a TKO when his corner threw in the towel! a weak technicality TKO - although clowns on here say that Fury clear sparked Wilder out! Lets not forget that Wilder is least technically capable HW champion of ALL TIME! Then somehow, thats on par with his 12 round borefest win over Klitschko. Please tell me how a cherry pick gone wrong is on par with beating Klit? 'Oh because he came back from all those problems, lost the weight and went to America to beat him' - the least capable HW of all time. Gets a pass.

The only reason why Fury is rated as #1 is because Joshua lost.
1. Joshua was unanimous #1 then he gets beaten by Ruiz.
2. Ruiz suddenly becomes unanimous #1. Lets not forget that Fury and Wilder were NOT #1, Ruiz was.
3. Joshua easily beats Ruiz (the same way Fury beat Klit). Joshua goes back in #3 (!?!?)
4. Wilder was #1 for a time until the DRAW. Fury becomes #1 off the back of a DRAW!!! - Gets a pass.
5. Changes gyms to Kronk - puts weight back on, beats Wilder as he should have the 1st time round.
6. Fury is rated #1 because he beat the worst HW champ of all time and because Joshua lost.

It's literally laughable - I'm not surprised that retarded people love Fury, because that's what it is, low IQ neanderthals who know one of their own.

I dont like Fury. I merely respect his talent. He IS supremely talented. That should never be taken away from anyone.

You Joshua ****riders are a pathetic bunch. He didn't draw with Wilder, he beat him...and I say that as someone who likes Wilder. If Fury is the worst heavyweight champion of all time, what the **** does that make anyone else?

Joshua is literally holding belts Fury had to forefeit for his popping for roids. Come on man.

[BoZz]

He'll run around the ring like he did against Ruiz, he knows his chin is gone, in every fight he's had he received lot's of damage. Against old Pulev he'll be able to out run him that's why he doesn't fight anyone legit.

[PRINCEKOOL]

The bolded is partially true. They're similar wins. But then two caveats, Ruiz came in at 280 (which is something I can't really blame Joshua for) and Fury is a defensive points fighter. Aggressive fighting from a defensive fighter is always going to be lauded than negative/defensive fighting from an aggressive/KO centric fighter. For obvious reasons.



This is true too. But then, he catered to that crowd. He says some throwaway, meaningless statement on race relations and his English fanbase turns on him. But then I feel he never should have even catered to them in the first place. It all just seems very all over the place. America has a history of black fighters who have no qualms about stating their case and not shrinking their personalities to please mainstream sensibilities. Hence why Wilder has such an intensely loyal, almost delusional fanbase. But its because he is who he is. People like that. With Joshua there is too much coiffuring of his image and doublespeak. So much so you dont know who is really the man and who is the public persona. **** like that always falls out of favour with people.

Its all very political, and given the shambles the current climate here in the UK is, the last thing you want to be is a politician.

Yes Joshua was manufactured as the nation’s hero, and wow he was playing this part amazingly.

I have compared Joshua in the past to batman, well the first fighter who I compared to batman was Bernard Hopkins. Because he was a fighter will no real super power, except his extreme discipline and attention to detail.

Anthony Joshua has become the dark-night 'Tyson Fury when he faces Joshua for the first time? Will have the public behind him. Fury is the good guy in this match up depending, on what your perception is of good.

Tyson Fury has never been in this sort of position, he has never been a favourite going into a fight at elite level 'And he has never had the public fully behind him' or are they behind him? Because like you have just stated, and I have been saying 'People do not respect his heritage, they see Fury has a tool to destroy Joshua' the black boy who has stepped out of line.

I want to see how Fury deals with this kind of pressure; Joshua seems liberated of late 'He is relishing this new stage of his career, where he is trying to let his character come out'.

Note: I am neutral pretty much on both fighters; I don't dislike Tyson Fury as a individual.

[OnlytheTruth]

Wow you work for Eddie?
Only the truth xD
Fury is ranked number 1 in every ranking system in the world but not according to you. That's fine we all have opinions.

But alot of your drivel rant is wrong & a lie xD
Ruiz never became #1 he went from #15 to #3 the highest ranked boxer Aj has faced is Ruiz.
Aj has never boxed a top 2 heavyweight.
Fury beat 2 long reigning legitimate world number 1 champions for all the belts, that's legacy.
Aj beat Martin xD Parker not allowed to hit back xD for paper belts. Klitschko old & retired for a free belt. Pov old takem old & bent ref again, Ruiz (non puncher) ragdolls Aj, pulev old.
Scurry off to bn24 with all the other Aj fanboy sheeple.

I never said that Fury ISN'T #1, did I!? I just pointed out that Fury is #1 by some BS reasons and Joshua losing. retard.

Fury is ranked #1 in 'every ranking system in the world' is he!?!?!? Wow, you are a true sub-human DUMBASS. He's not even rated in the WBA, WBO or IBF so thats your theory out the window.

Andy Ruiz wasn't rated as #1??? https://www.tbrb.org/2019/06/12/11-june-2019/

and when Joshua faced Ruiz, he was #1....so thats two more of your BS theories out the window. I'm literally laughing my ass off, right now - you know actually nothing LOL.

Fury beat two long standing #1 Champions did he!? Wilder has never been #1 (Not on TBRB or BoxRec) so you show me where he is a long standing #1 LOL

Funny you named Joshua resume, saved me pointing out that they are all better than Pianeta, Seferi, Wallin and Schwarz LOL.

So, actually no, I just disproved EVERYTHING you just said.

Bye bye now, fuck off and don't let the door hit you on way out.

Yes, very good points. I think Fury may crumble under the pressure. I consider Fury a pretty smart guy, but he deals with public pressure poorly. His mind is fragile and he has bouts of disinterest/inactivity. Even on his social media he constantly talks of "staying fit", its clear to see he struggles to stay motivated. This is where Joshua shines, he's far more professional and dedicated. His physique alone makes that clear. He also handles pressure very well, this showing of nerves before the Pulev fight makes me think Pulev doesn't really stand a chance.

There is a strong contingent who want to see Joshua bested because of his new found "wokeness". I dislike people who think like that heavily and the last thing I think I want is Joshua to end up embarassed and them having a field day...but at the same time, I feel the image he and Hearn tried to cultivate needs to be destroyed. I've always heavily disliked it, in fact his recent comments actually made me a little more partial...but, as mentioned, they played up to that superhero for Britain persona. But I feel in boxing you cannot be both. I feel the longer Fury stays fit and competitive, the more he eats into Joshua's fanbase.

Its interesting to say the least. A far more curious dichotomy compared to other divisions (with seemingly far more talent who fight each other more often).

You're right, he is VERY talented in the ring. He is a great boxer - and you can't take that away.

I think that he deserved the win but, you're wrong - it was a draw. A fact that you cannot escape.

I didn't say that Fury is the worst champion of all time, I said that Wilder is the worst champion of all time.

Fury vacated the IBF because of the Glazkov situation, not the UKAD case.

Don't start throwing insults around when I just gave you ACTUAL FACTS.

[OnlytheTruth]

Please show me all of this damage he received in all his fights LOL.

You can call me a Joshua fan **** rider, whatever but what you just said is actually brain melting retarded BS.

[BoZz]

He took a lot's of damage against Parker,, Takam etc. he went life and death against 40+ year old klitschko, got even knocked down...troughout the fight his face was catching punches? Do I need to keep going? Ok against Ruiz he didn't receive as much damage but that's because he quit. Son those are facts, go watch the fights before you comment. And why did he run against fan unfit Ruiz in the rematch? He knows why, that's why he's fighting Poolev next and not a real champion. Yea yea come give us the mandatory excuse

[deathofaclown]

Fury's win against Kiltschko was no more impressive than Joshua vs Ruiz II 'Kiltschko backed him up all night, Kiltschko was the aggressor etc'.

Lol well it clearly was more impressive because it was against Wlad, who had ruled the division for 10 years.

There was no doubts at all Wlad was the best heavyweight of his time and Fury went in and completely nullified everything he did well. And did it on a Wlad show with all Wlad’s tricks.

It’s a bit different to having anything under your own terms and running around a 22ft ring against a guy that didn’t even train for the fight. Not to mention AJ needed 2 attempts to beat Andy Ruiz.

You said he received damage in ALL of his fights. So you class damage as being punched? A boxer being punched, whatever next!? A driver driving a car? A footballer kicking a ball!? All damaging. SMH.

Please do keep going if you want to though. I'd like to see what else you can drum up. Next you'll be saying that Gary Cornish really fucked him up LOL.

Ok, yeah; Pulev is his mandatory. Not much point in holding an undisputed contest if you haven't got the belts, you retard.

Son? Bro, no way your my Daddy, you are just too downs syndrome to be related to me. Go lick a window.
