Anthony Joshua: has his 'nice guy' Olympian image been shattered?

Re watch the video, your quote is so wrong, he is obviously not directing it at Kugan though is he, they get on extremely well. The comment was clearly directed at other fighters who believe that and people like you who bring that up. And oh god I would love to see him knock your head off :good

 

:deal Well said

 

So why didn't he say ''to anyone fighting thinking that I'm the same fighter all those years back, I'll knock your fcking head off''?

No other fighter has suggested that, only kugan suggested it and so it stands to reason that he was aiming that sickening threat towards kugan

No amount of spin changes that. You need to re-watch the video son, and realise your boy is still the same thug that he was when he was dishing out drugs on the street to all and sundry

 

there's plenty of people of all religions causing plenty of problems in the world its not all muslims + khan, we're the same race + religion as jimmy saville and various other nutjobs for example. You don't seen to be able to comment on khan without bringing his ethnicity into it.

why would Joshua fight someone outside the ring. If he does batter him you'd be saying he's a thug and he'll probably be in trouble with the law + boxing regulators. If he's going to fight whyte he'll do it in the ring and get paid.

 

There is almost no response to that, it is that stupid! Joshua isn't a street fighter, he is a boxer, boxing takes place inside a boxing ring, im really starting to question the fact as to whether you have watched boxing at all?

You call Joshua a horrible person, yet you seem like you would gain more respect for him if he beat someone up on the street? Nice one.

He in nobodies opinion got his ass whooped in the Olympics, he had two very close fights.

Not at all religious myself but the way you talk about groups of people is quite frankly disgusting. I don't think I need to say anymore, you have shown yourself to be a disgusting thing. (Don't think human being can be used to describe you).

 

He dealt drugs, doesn't make him a thug. He worded his comment wrong and he was wrong to say what he did but people like you have changed this to suit what you want to say about it.

He didn't say Kugan I will knock your head off, he said anyone who says that, I will knock your head off, yes it was wrong but it wasn't aimed at Kugan

 

first of all doubleedge does have a point about khan and his false religion

beachie is right about the threat not being directed at kugan

and Savon did beat joshua pretty comfortably in the first round, joshua shouldn't have even have medaled. i wanted joshua to win but he was getting outboxed and outpunched in every round

i don't know why people are so hung up on the olympics for joshua, the silver at the world championships was a way better achievment

and beachie is a matchroom fanboy its actually ridiculous, hearn and his fighters are always in the right

on another thread he voted isaac chamberlain(a guy with a youtube vieo who eddie says is good) as the best uk prospect ahead of tommy McCarthy(a world class amateur) at cruiserweight

when asked about his logic on this he said, ' well if eddie says a fighter is good people believe him'. that was his logic doubt he has even seen mccarthy fight

 

do people really expect most boxers to be gentlemen? a lot come from rough, violent and bad backgrounds thats what makes them fighters.

 

Yeah Beachie's Matchroom fanboyism is disgustingly obvious. He must be affiliated in some way.

 

God he wasn't talking AT Kugan! he invited him to a Nandos straight afterwards it clearly was to that person who beat him and any fighter who takes him lightly.

 

No you have the wrong person on the Isaac chamberlain thing, I was speaking to someone who was moaning that chamberlain was first and I said they probably voted for him because he got the exposure from Hearn so people who don't watch amateur boxing, know who he is as a pose to a decorated amateur fighter.

I think you have the wrong person generally to be honest, I am pro matchroom, personally believe they put on better shows than other UK promotional teams, personal favourite fighters fight under matchroom too, for example Froch.

 

didnt you not vote for Isaac in that poll? why did you vote for him over mccarthy?

 

you did vote for isaac

No I didn't vote as I didn't know all of the fighters well enough to pass judgement.
My exact words were;
Exactly but if you get exposure people instantly think a fighter is a world class prospect. Its something Hearn has done very well but also his record of having very good prospects gives people confidence in the next one. Could end up being a hype job but by the time we find out he has usually made enough money anyway.
Check the thread again but no it wasn't me, I just made a comment that exposure made people think that, plus it says a lot about Hearn doing a good job if he can make people believe that straight away.
