Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua on Tyson Fury Fight: 'I Promise You It's Happening'

[RoadMan94]

First of that you box I totally respect. I also gathered it from your posts. I never have, just have loved the sport since I was a kid. I play around to use it as fitness, but I am NOT an athlete.

I appreciate the apology.

Lastly, I feel we are lost in the weeds as far as what makes a good style. It is not "casual" to enjoy the sport of boxing when both men are trying to win. The 2 fights you keep bringing up, Ruiz was flat and out of shape. Only Joshua came to fight. That was not fun. Klitschko was overconfident and just plain ugly versus Fury, there was nothing fun about that. In contrast, the sport LOVED Joshua Ruiz 1. It was fun to watch. Joshua Klitschko was most people's fight of the year. In both of those fights, both men came to win.

But I should probably never have thrown an insult at Fury-Klitschko like I did. I meant to compare resumes, not performance in the ring. Honestly, you would judge that better than me.

I hear you bro, and after reading again, I do see exactly what you mean now. So yeah it was bit of a misunderstanding, but it’s all good, and I appreciate the response too.

Best move for Fury and AJ is to take a stay busy fight and wait for the clearance to fight in front of a full capacity crowd. AJ might face Usyk before this fight happens, as for Fury, we’ll see.

If there's any chance of a Fury fight happening this year, AJ isn't fighting Usyk. Too much risk, too little reward (compared to the massive rewards of a Fury fight)

Aj deserves the most but anything to make this happen. Aj koes him in 10.

None of that is true. AJ was offered a contract with no details which was never sent to him. He was asked to sign it without ever seeing it first and when they asked for more details were given the silent treatment.

Look at Wilders record, the vast majority of his fights are with sub 200 ranked opponents and he has only fought a few top 100 and 4 top 20 ranked fighters.
That is a laughable résumé, the worst of any heavyweight "champion" ever? Not sure,but it must be close.

Wilder avoided every quality boxer out there and only fought Fury when he thought he was spent.

I know it must be hard to accept that you are a sucker and have been fooled by a fraud, but I don't hold it against you, just think harder in the future and don't believe the hype.

You even believe he turned down Ł100m because "I want to be in control of my career".

Wilder has said to Fury that he turned down AJ to fight Fury. At that time AJ is multiple title holder and Fury a washed up 400lb ex boxer ******* head.

it is ridiculous that you brokenhearted little AJ clowns need to blurt out childish excuses for him

FACT: Poshua-****e could have taken that fight TWICE in 2018, but HE CHOSE not to

I bolded the important part of that fact, for your dumb excuse-making ass

what excuses can you blurt out to explain why AJ got slapped around by a 5'10 bowling ball?

Well, remind me how long it took fury to dispatch wallin.

Wallin is young and had never been stopped.Might never be stopped.Pulev however is old and stopped quicker years ago by a guy Fury then beat easily.

You are trying to be smart by avoiding the question. How long did it take fury to dispatch wallin.?

I ain't gotta try to be smart I am smart.Theres nothing wrong with going to points with a young undefeated guy because no one knows how good he is,or if anyone can actually stop him.But when you go 9 with a guy Wlad stopped years ago in 5,a guy who's old and past hes prime,not a great performance. And when Andy Ruiz bounces you off the floor again and again and stops you,when hes beaten no one else of note,bad look.

There was nothing unusual about an undefeated young man ranked far above 30. He never fought anybody of note until fury hand picked him and brought him to lime light because he couldn't take care of an easy job.
Under normal circumstances, walk-in should have won that fight on cut but we know how boxing works.

Joshua got stopped by a fighter that was far too highly ranked for Wilder to even consider fighting.

28 wins against unranked or sub 400 boxers.
11 fights against top 100 fighters of which 4 were top 20.
Lol, great record. He fought one world class boxer in his entire career and lost to him twice.

How fake can you be?

5 years as champion and not a single challenge to the other belt holders. He avoided all world class middleweights for his entire "reign".

Wilder hasn't fought anybody world class other than Fury. Joshua has fought champions, ex champions and the best in the business.

It isn't even close when you look at their résumés, Wilder was a paper champion fake media hype job. I'm sorry that you can't seem to grasp the truth despite it all being obvious in black and white in front of you.
Some people just believe what theyre told to believe and don't have the mental capacity to see the blindingly obvious.

But my point is we dont know how durable he is yet do we? Also,nothing wrong with a points win,especially against someone young who's never been stopped.Had it been Pulev,it would be worth some criticism Another thing.You want someone stopped on a cut when they could and did ,clearly continue to box and win? That sounds alot like hating.
