    They are jealous of AJ because they wish they had his physique.

    His HGH gut already shows, anymore of that stuff and Usyk would be imprisoned for beating up a pregnant man in the rematch.

    Why do even someone worried about others opinions about their favorite boxers ?

    I don't give a f about how Fury, AJ or Usyk looks. Show me skills, that all that matters to me

    As I’ve covered, the insult is somewhat antiquated. His stamina has improved since he has cut weight and I saw him as a much-improved fighter against Usyk. Even still, he clearly gassed by the later rounds ... not that I blame him for that given the pace Usyk set.

    Calling it ‘genetic’ isn’t entirely fair, it isn’t difficult to assume that someone like Usyk trains stamina much harder and sees results accordingly, Fury also trains pretty hard and doesn’t seem to do much for building muscle mass.

    But again, the point is that Joshua – particularly the pre-Ruiz 2 Joshua – looks quite intimidating and is often described as ‘athletic’ simply due to his body, but it actually seems to hinder his abilities as a boxer. Hence ‘bodybuilder’, because it was all quite superficial and doesn't amount to much in the ring.

    I don't usually unless I'm genuinely curious about why they think that way. AJ is a good boxer with skills and has improved his fitness quite a bit.

    100%

    Nobody would keep up with Usyk and people will see it next year against other opponents

    He didn’t have to keep up with the cruiser weight, all AJ had to do was let his hands go. But ever since Ruiz took his balls, the bodybuilder is as scared as a deer in headlights!

    Usyk was 221 pounds, he is legit HW with speed.

    It’s not fair, I agree! I deal with the same bias every day, especially from the ladies. They always want to feel my biceps, touch my pecs, run their silky fingers across my 6 pack abs, like I’m a piece of meat! I’m a person with feelings and can’t tell you how many times a lovely lady has squeezed my quad and even my glutes, asking me if I have steel in my pants. This is blatant harassment. I know how AJ feels, there is a true brotherhood among very well built, jacked dudes. Some days I almost wish I didn’t have a perfectly muscular body.

    These snide comments and this behavior is getting to be too much to bear. I just smile and say thanks but inside I’m crushed and feel attacked. If one more woman asks me to take my shirt off at the gym or secretly tries to take my picture with her mobile phone, I’m going straight to HR. Enough is enough!

    Did you seriously go through all that just to say Fury may takes PEDs?

    Leave it until next week to have a pop at Fury, I'll be digging him out all week LOL


    Anyway, Whyte said something in an interview the other day, he said AJ doesn't naturally look the way he does when he bulks up with rippling muscle.. he said he is rather a slender man.

    Go and look at AJ in the Olympics and look at him now, actually look at him in the Olympics and look at him on his pro debut.

    It was a dramatic change in my opinion, all down to sports science? All down to a few supplements and some bulking?


    A lot of people have their opinions on how AJ went from a slender looking heavyweight to looking like a body builder.

    I think calling him a body builder is one of the nicer "insults" or accusations that could be thrown at him.

    People criticize AJ because when he bulks with too much weights he becomes stiff and his gas tank goes down to E very fast. The other reason some people criticize him quite honestly is jealousy.
