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

[Earl-Hickey]

One thing about Joshua he sure does bring out the 100 post noobs who think their opinions are important.

[James Hunt]

The second fight with Ruiz Junior, was simply about getting the win 'That was Joshua's first fight where, he was clearly apprehensive' apart from that? He is always a aggressive fighter.

Tyson Fury has had 1 fight at elite level where he has fought aggressively 'And that was against Deontay Wilder in the rematch'.

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'.

Pulev has only lost once, statistically he is a better fighter than Wallin or some of the random fighters I cannot even name who Fury has faced 'Defending his linear titles'.

I am neutral on most fighters, but people clearly have a agenda against Anthony Joshua. I sense black america people and fighters have a agenda against him because? He acts in a way they dislike, and white folk have a agenda against him because 'They think he has stepped out of line' and not been a good British black boy.

They all adore gypsies now, and Tyson Fury is their man.

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.

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.

Just don't spend the whole day with this futile back and forth.
Also, nobody reads loooong posts.

LOL, I can type fairly quickly and its easy to shut down these ridiculous comments...anythings better than actually doing work.

This is another insert name here post.

One thing about -insert name here- he sure does bring out the 100 -insert anything here- who think -insert anything here-.

Example; 'One thing about Fury he sure does bring out the 100 gypsies who think they can steal what isn't nailed down.'

or

'One thing about Wilder he sure does bring out the 100 Trump supporters who think they grab as much pussy as possible.'

[tokon]

The interviews I've heard with Joshua since Ruiz loss suggest he's getting a lot of psychology help.

[Joeboxeo]

He call himself a warrior? Just like he run all night long against Ruiz rematch? All the British are delusional thinking or what?

Joshua have no balls

So why is Joshua better? Because he almost got stopped by an older Wlad? Or because he quit against an unranked opponent and never returned to America?

If thats all you can take from what I just said that I'll answer your question with a question; You tell me what makes Fury better?

[James Hunt]

LOL, I can type fairly quickly and its easy to shut down these ridiculous comments...anythings better than actually doing work.

Absolutely agree on that one.

[Roberto Vasquez]

Losing definitely makes a lot of boxers better. I think since losing to Ruiz Joshua has been doing a lot more sparring and less weights.

The other way to lose is to go into denial and make excuses for your loss... Those boxers don't get better and make the same mistakes next time

Pulev is a top level opponent, but if AJ is really any good he will win.
