    Anti Joshua???

    Joshua is given tons of credit. However, until he fights outside of the U.K. it's hard to rate him very high, since anyone can win with all of the advantages in their favor.

    If Wlad would've fought Jennings and Fury in Germany he would've clinched Jennings all fight and got the knockout and also would've got the robbery decision over Fury.

    Jesus. I'm tired of arguing about that *****.

    Yes, I have an agenda. I'm very much against the HW champion being a *****.

    I have no idea tbh, although I'm guessing some do. Perhaps someone can enlighten us. AJ'a conviction doesn't bother me too much, but I can see why some people would be annoyed by it.

    Why do you give Wilder credit then?

    And Wlad did fight Fury in Germany lol.


    Tyson never had a big fight outside the US....Mayweather never had a single fight outside the US.....

    Scott Gilfoid scored the fight 116-112 for Joshua. And everybody knows how Gilfoid 'loves' AJ :)

    Interesting sure but doesn't cause me to second guess my scorecard. No cognitive dissonance here. I've probably scored more fights than all three of them combined.

    Getting caught with some weed that he got community service for hardly makes him a major league criminal.

    Weed? OMG, that's a gateway drug! It means that you're going to be doing coke and heroin SOON! :eek:

    I never said it did, dear boy. All I said is that some people may be put off AJ because of that conviction, no matter how minor it is in the grand scheme of things.

    If he was white and middle class like myself he would've just been given a slap on the wrist.

    Source? Personal experience of being White, middle class and being caught in possession.

    Those people need to get a life. Being caught in possession of weed is marginally worse than being caught speeding. He served his punishment and sorted his life out. That's what boxing does - it gets kids off the street, teaches them discipline and gives them direction. He was hardly from a privileged background. For the lucky/talented few, they might make a career out of it. That's something to be admired, not derided.

    It is just competition between Americans and Brits and nothing personal against the boxers themselves.

    During the post-fight interview, Parker kept making reference to Joshuah being the bigger man.
