    That's fair enough.

    EASY, huh? :lol: Except for that, since Takam, Povetkin ripped up Perez, Wach, Duhaupas and Rudenko. Meldonium doesn't give you magical skills. In fact, there's debate whether it's even worth taking as a PED, since it's been on the market legally since like 1970 or something.

    1) Prime Wlad destroys this version of AJ
    2) Corrie Sanders destroys this version of AJ too.

    Joshua needs to pick up his game some. Granted, he's only 20 fights in, but he needs to forget about sponsors and ads and becoming a billionaire and stay in the gym more.

    And by that I mean the boxing gym.

    Otherwise the only billions he's going to see are the billions of stars that will occur when he fights a guy like Ortiz or Povetkin.

    It would still have ended in a wide UD for AJ, but the stoppage was criminal and just embarrasses Britain as a credible destination for major fights.

    Drawing parallels between how certain events play out doesn't mean you think the components of those events are equal.

    God, how do people like you function in the world? I forget how dumb everyone is on this board.

    I've said since he turned pro movement will be his biggest issue. We saw it in the Olympics vs Savon and Dychko.

    Good lateral movement is one of the least understood and most underrated skills in boxing. Even guys with quick feet like Wlad and Khan don't have good lateral movement, people mistake their fast feet for good movement, they are not the same thing.

    Joshua coming late to boxing has had a steep learning curve and this is probably the skill he struggles with the most. He holds his feet too much, doesn't step around to create angles enough.

    Luckily for him he has a ton of power and good inside skills for a big heavyweight so even though he can be out boxed via movement he has the option to take it in close to try and close the show which is what he did vs Takam.

    The thing is that Fury only existed for a fight or two. Much like the Douglas that beat Tyson. It's useless to speculate what that version of Fury from 3 years back would have done to Joshua last night.

    Exactly.

    The way people still cling into fury amazes me. This guy hasn't boxed in years and doesn't look like boxing any time soon.

    His irrelevant!!

    Klitschko was clearly a level above Takam and DIDN`T take Joshua. Your argument kind of falls down there. lol

    No offence man but you are completely deluded and your hatred for Joshua is blinding you.

    Takam did well but he lost every round, got outboxed and busted up. Honestly I don't know how you have come to that conclusion in your OP from watching the fight last night, it is genuinely baffling.

    Your boy got found out. Even the casuals are clocking on,to the fact that a good young fighter who is able to box, takes AJ out on that performance.

    I'd say even a David Haye with Adam Booth sniper style tactics, takes him out.

    It was evident that Takam managed to frustrate Joshua, while giving him a few scares, why else would he resort to desperate cheap tactics to find a breather in between rounds?

    And why else do you think the ref jumped in to put Takam in a headlock to stop the fight? Because he was dangerous and he was instructed to take care of Joshua. There is already evidence of rigged scorecards to ensure Joshua won regardless of what would happen during the 12 rounds.

    The whole thing is a farce. And point out the truth has nothing to do with hate, only reality.
