What would have to happen for you to give Joshua 100% respect?

Been thinking. I'm a British boxing fan whose always loved Fury and Joshua, but leant towards Fury. Utter arsehole at times, but brilliant out of the ring at others and a superb boxer. When he hung his chin out for Klitsko, hands behind his back and Klitsko refused to try to punch it my love of Fury was sealed.

Now Wilder's facing Fury you have to say that AJ is a decent champion, but a bit of a fraud / bottlejob. The winner of Fury Wilder is the best heavyweight, and even if AJ beats the winner I still might have him as the third best HW in the world. For me AJ needs to beat Wilder and Fury convincingly to regain my full respect.

 

Clean out the division while doing VADA 365.

In terms of opponents, fight Fury v Wilder winner. He ducked Wilder but let's be honest Povetkin folds Wilder. Pulev probably does too.

 

Not sure that I don’t respect him already (pretty much respect anybody willing to put on a pair of gloves and risk health and life to fight!)...

I think he is the best HW out there right now. Disappointed as a fan how his team negotiated or rather did not with Wilders team. I wish he would just fight the 2nd??? Best HW out there and have a hunger to unify the division?

Still think he is the current best HW out there....still think he beats Wilder or Fury or both...

 

After ducking Wilder he has to beat Fury and Wilder convincingly for me. AJ might be the best heavyweight out there, but so might Fury and so might Wilder IMO... and by not being involved I can only assume that AJ is no. 3 until he beats both guys ahead of him.

 

Fighting Wilder and not embarrassing himself. He wouldn't even have to win.

 

I already respect him.

 

lol troll thread alert.

Even if Joshua beat Wilder and Fury and Lennox lewis convincingly you would still have him at third best HW ..

So then what difference does it make... your thread is pointless and deluded.

Ortiz Wilder and Fury are the real frauds of the division. And if you are too blind to see this obvious fact then I pity you.

Can't wait for AJ to clean division so we can finally settle the number 1.... even though he already is.

 

As a person? I suppose I'd have to meet him and know him for a while.

 

As a fighter, nothing.

 

If he got 'UFC IS PUS$Y' tattooed on his forehead in glow in the dark ink.

 

Aj is the #1 heavyweight smh...

 

He would need to:
1. KO Deontay
2. KO Tyson
3. Fight 1-2 fights in the UFC
4. Star in a few action movies
5. make a grime album
6. Sleep with Amir Khan's wife
7. retire undefeated

 

There’s nothing he can do as a boxer to gain my respect. It’s to late for him. I mean, who waits 15 fights before stepping up. And then 16 before winning a world title. And then in his 19th fight he fought that Wlad character for another belt. Two fights later, like a coward, he’s unifying again. And then he fights that Russian guy, who was ranked 98th or something.

Just a terrible ambassador for the sport.

 

If you don't respect him already you arent a boxing fan

 

He'd need to change nationalities for most of the mongs on here to respect him.
