    Was it just me or did Anthony Joshua come across an an arrogant bullying thug in the recent documentary about him?

    Talking about 'dominating' his area. Pfft. What a tool.

    Just telling the truth about when he was growing up, Does it really matter?

    He has stopped all that and will probably become world champ one day

    That's who he was, there's no point in lying about it. He's changed and grown up but he'll still have part of the nasty **** side to him still.

    In his interviews with sky and IFL post fight i thought he came across a little different than normal.

    I think he seems like a nice guy but last night it was almost like hes a bit fed up of being the nice guy when hes getting criticism so hes starting to have a bit more fire in his belly.

    Might be reading to much into it and it could be a good thing but overall i think hes a nicer guy than most boxers out there. Depends what hes really like off camera.

    We've had a certain image force fed to us post the Olympics which I've always suspected to be BS. We'll see his true colours when he's in a fight against an opponent that can fight back.

    His ''nice guy'' image has already been shatterd in interview with Kugan, when he showed what a thug he was after threatening to physically knock him out for asking a question.

    It's also well known he has sent abusive tweets in the heat of the moment because people brought him questions over his glass jaw and then quickly removed them.

    I thought it was common knowledge that sky and matchroom are coaching this fraud to be a nice guy when he is nothing more than a hoodrat who got lucky.

    No one is a nice guy 100% of the time. Just because he's generally a good guy now doesn't mean he wasn't a cu nt before, it doesn't mean he still doesn't have a bit of side to to him now and it doesn't mean he's a fraud because like every one alive he has more than one side to his personality.

    Last night the british commentators was saying how much of a bonus it was that AJ was one of the nicest guys outside the ring.

    Wtf is your definition of a nice guy?

    Nice guys don't threaten to knock your head off if you ask them a standard question while you are trying to do them a favour

    Nice guys don't sell drugs and nice guys don't block their own fans on twitter for asking questions.

    Nice guys who profess to ''stay humble'' don't call themselves beasts who will knock anyone out

    Nice guys don't hit their Z level opponent while they are on the floor.

    And nice guys don't need to be coached so they can rehe**** being nice

    Get the fck out of AJ's ass and realise this guy is a grade a tool who isn't as nice as he pretends to be.

    He's a fraud who will get exposed when he comes up against an awkward fighter who can bang.

    Did he **** your missus? :rofl:rofl:rofl


    He's a 25 year old man and your judging him on things he done when he was 15-18 kid! And to be honest things that aren't that bad. You're portraying him as the devil for saying "stay humble" and 99% of the being a nice guy when he's interviewed... then sometimes he might not be!! :shock: :rofl He done evil things like block people on Twitter and hit an opponent when they were down, he must have watched that evil scumbag Roy Jones jnr. You're right, you've convinced me the guy is scum of the Earth, how dare he be nice sometimes and not nice other times. :twisted::twisted:

    I'm a fan of Joshua but I do get the feeling some of this nice guy stuff is an act. He's seemed a bit different in some of the interviews this past week, getting a bit fed up of always being the nice guy?

    Someone like Manny is a genuine nice guy because it comes naturally he doesn't have to fake it.

    You think getting people hooked on drugs ''aren't that bad''? Maybe you should visit the slums in your town and see people who are a ghost of themselves, stealing and being driven by their next fix, to see what an effect drug dealers have on society and then come tell me things aren't that bad!

    They are the scum of the earth and he only stopped because he was threatened with jail time.

    If he didn't get caught he'd still be doing it. What a nice guy :nut

    And If most of the time you are preaching to the world to ''stay humble'' then I damn well expect to see you leading by example and showing everyone what how to 'stay humble''.

    His mantra should be ''stay thugging'' because that's what he is a glass jaw thug who bullies cans and pensioners

    Getting people addicted to weed? I don't know anyone who hasn't at some point smoked weed and none of them live in slums, and the guys who sold weed where I lived when I was growing up were generally good guys. I think you might be getting weed confused with heroin.

    How can Manny be a good guy? He hit Marquez when he was down. He cheated numerous times on his wife and openly drank and gambled A LOT, inevitably, as he's a role model got millions of people addicted to alcohol and gambling. He should have been leading by example . :verysad He's scum of the Earth and only stopped because his wife threatened to leave him.:verysad

    Maybe visit the slums in your town and see people who are a ghost of themselves, stealing and being driven by their next fix.

    I don't buy that nice guy act he does in his interviews and when he smiles during the ring walk and paying medical bills for people in his country who can't afford it. The damage is already done, he let his mask slip for who he really is. He shouldn't be called "Pac Man" he should be called "Scum Man" because that is what he is, glass jaw scum who got got KO'd by a pensioner.

    You don't know it was just weed that AJ was selling, that was just what they found on him at the time.

    Most drug dealers don't just sell weed, only sheltered fcks believe that. There is no big money in selling weed.

    He wasn't working, how the fck do you think AJ survived just selling weed? :lol:

    Manny cheated on his wife and succumbed to addiction, that's most fighters stories, they are human.

    He is a man, and man falls to temptation, it happens. The most important thing is Manny does so many good things, he never threatens laymen with physical violence for asking him the wrong question or bringing up his defeats. He does a hell load of charity work and helps reinvest millions in his own community


    Selling drugs on the other hand is a will-full act of treacherous evil to your own community.

    Making money off the misery of others, is one of the lowest things a human being can do.

    I know few boxing fans that have met AJ off camera and they say he is a genuine nice bloke off the camera

    He had a bad growing up from a council estate? That is like most kids these days. He has got into boxing and now on the right path in life with a decent career ahead of him

    "Most drug dealers don't just sell weed, only sheltered fcks believe that. There is no big money in selling weed."

    No dealer who sells class A drugs would sell weed it's a stupid way to get caught and as I'm sure you know if you have an amount of drugs on that would lead police to arrest you for "possession with intent to supply" they do a full raid of your house. AJ must have been out of heroin and coke that day :yep

    :rofl I know Manny is a good guy. But like everyone else he isn't a good guy 100% of the time.

    I don't understand your problem with someone being nice, when at some point like every person alive they've been a bit of a cu nt, when they are it doesn't mean they are fake or have let their mask slip, it's because they have more that one side to their personality and what they show depends on what mood and situation they're in.
