    I'd tihnk early retirement would be a good idea given than humongous frame that will rack up injuries and be impossible to keep in shape. Soon he wont be young anymore.

    The only alternative would be to stick around with one title that will attend to his whims, and fight every bum he can cram into a few years Klitschko style.

    Is he basically saying "In London I lost 2 times out of 4 fights, but then I still won the Olympic gold"?

    I don't think his heart is in it anymore if it ever was!. A millionaire at his age and not a natural fighter ie he doesn't enjoy beating people up like Tyson did or wilder now .Boxing is mainly mental .we shall see

    He should currently be in the mindset where he's not even giving a seconds thought to losing the rematch.

    I would be very concerned about these comments if I was a huge fan of his.

    Of course not. He will still make millions and get a shot at the title again down the road

    Fat Andy's getting sent back to the scrapheap and those belts are coming home where they belong. AJ was there in body only for the first fight, this time the real AJ is going to show up and dust Dumpy off in the desert to the rapturous applause of the House of Saud.

    AJ will never have the ATG standing and longevity of a Wlad or Lewis.

    It's like glory hunters in football and other sports they jump on these likes of Joshua, Manchester United, Miami Heat(every person seemed to have a jersey probably all Golden State fans now) as they win all the time then as soon as it goes a bit south, they'll go quiet and disassociate themselves

    That's a pretty high bar though as they're two ATGs with Lewis arguably being the best heavyweight of all-time h2h.

    And Lewis has acted like a jealous asshat towards Joshua. His criticism has been unnecessarily vociferous.

    Everyone loves holyfield. Why? Because despite multiple losses he came and came again. Winning the belts over and over.

    That’s what makes you a legend. Losing then quitting makes you a nobody
