This. More importantly this isn't something unique to Anthony Joshua. This is standard practice for any fighter in the same kind of position.
Don't know how anyone can dislike whyte as a boxer: 1. Fights anyone 2. Is always in entertaining fights 3. Is his own man 4. Is a propa bad man, no fake **** with the bodysnatcher.
Well said mate... he is like a love'em or hate'em guy... some people just hate him for no real reason.. just rubs them the wrong way. One guy hates Dillian because he howls.
How do you define hate? I've seen his choices and decisions criticised but I've not seen much hate. If you like boxing and a good tear up, then it's hard to hate on Whyte imo.
Good to see Whyte isn't a puppet like that bodybuilder Joshua. The bomb squad has been impressed with his recent outbursts. Maybe there is a vacant space for him in our group. He can keep the incredible Juggernaut Joe Joyce company. Lol.
How do I define hate? Through illogical actions and communication that is negative in nature and aimed personally at an individual or object. What I have observed here on the forums is posters putting Dillian Whyte down in diminishing his accomplishments despite his handicapped journey in boxing. Making unneccasry comments about his characteristics in the ring, or the shape of his head or the fact that he likes to howl on fight night. Calling him a bum, when he works his arse off and has achieved a lot. Constantly bringing up his loss to AJ as if it takes away from who he is today, and what he deserves with regards redemption. Devaluing his standing today in the market, whilst elevating others above him that have not demonstrated the same level of commitment or hard to figures to justify their high praise over Whyte Such as Fury... a man who walked away from the sport, Miller... ... Ortiz.... Povetkin.... Violently criticsing his wins over Parker and Chisora, due to headbutt or foul play the referee and ignoring that these elements go unnoticed and unchallenged in other bouts... and rarely get asserted as the turning point for losing or winning a fight... They say he will lose before he fights, then when he wins... behold, it was luck! Those lacking in faith, or hope to see Whyte fall are never satisfied each time he wins, even in a rematch... as if to win convincingly you must be miles ahead of your opponent... then where is the challenge in that? Your opposition was lacking to begin with. There is a difference between hate and dislike, and all the actions I have described above indicate hate as many of those actions are lacking in substance. In response to calls by Whyte for a rematch between him and AJ we see comments like " sit your arse down Dillian you got KTFO" That was three years ago... to overlook everything that happened since with regards Whyte's development and then make a comment like that is nothing short of hateful and negative rather than dislike,
Of course there are the idiots on this forum who will chat $hit and put a negative spin on any given scenario or past event. If me and you watch a fight we are not guaranteed to have the same opinion after the fight. Having a difference of opinion doesn't make it hate. Just saying.
Yeah I know but I referring specifically to comments like "sit your arse down Dillian you got KTFO"" and many others, I can collate them make a collage. There are many. Whyte v Chisora I agree it was close, Whyte v Parker... everyone is riding off the 12th round knockdown and ignore the previous 11 rounds of work Dillian put in. That is hate, because I don't see the same people bringing up Whyte's flooring of parker or his performance in breaking parker down.
because if he hadn't knocked Parker down with his head, he'd have lost a SD. It's a decent name on his record, and he did well in dragging Parker into his type of fight, but that's about it. It's not hate, it's realism.
@deadACE listen to this drivel and tell me this guy ain't a hater. He says without the "headbutt", Whyte would have lost on the cards. Was a head clash not a headbutt, there is your realism. And you think the clash had that much of an effect on Parker and the outcome of the fight? Surrealism beyond comprehension. Funny how clash of heads affected Parker, and yet he still remembered how to throw a punch, fight several more rounds... and almost TKO Whyte in the 12th... in such a handicapped state of consciousness. Oh heavens.... Parker can't survive a head bump but he can take left hooks to the head that crank the neck to almost snapping in half... LOL. Yeah yeah... Whyte was winning the fight by a clear margin, and Parker showed absolutely no signs of concussion following the accidental head clash. Sit your arse down, or get back in the kitchen with your female opinions.
Why do you always have to invent conversations to try and enhance your point? I haven't mentioned whether or not the headclash had an adverse effect on Parker, or anything at all outside of exactly what i said for that matter, but if you really want to know, i think saying the headclash causing his lacklustre performance after it, is quite a weak excuse. But you can cry about what i actually said all you want, but it's a fact, without the headclash, he loses a SD.
Without the accidental knockdown, Whyte still would have won via SD. Official scores: 113-112, 115-110, 114-111 Without headclash: 112-113,114-111, 113 -112
