    That’s the weird thing. Mitch seems a decent chap, he’s always polite and cordial (more than can be said for lots of other posters) and is clearly switched on.. but the blatant and unrelenting bias lets him down. There’s never any objectivity and very selective in use of context.

    The lad @Mitch87 certainly knows his way around the manipulation of CVs

    If he applied for a job with me, I would have no idea whether he was a decent builder or a professional chess player

    But lets be honest (and i agree with you re bias) theres a lot of people who are biased against AJ as well here but lack manners. If you listen to some posters here AJ would have been lucky to win an area title if he wasnt MR. I legit saw a poster say he would lose to Moses Ituama and he wasnt even trolling.

    That is true. It definitely cuts both ways. It's noticeable with Mitch because it feels more like a campaign to spread propaganda against Fury and Wilder rather than just some boring troll.

    Yes. They said Fabio Wardley, Frazer Clarke and Moses Itauma would all beat Anthony Joshua. I hope they were trolling.

    definitely, the desperate desire to be alternative. AJ is clearly one of the best boxers in the world, hence winning world titles. Is he an ATG - no. Will he ever bear Usyk - I don't think so. Is he a corporate game? Yes. Good fighter though.

    Joshua was simply one of the better fighters in what was the worst era in Heavyweight Boxing only saved by Fury's comeback and Usyk stepping up.

    Lennox Lewis would have had half of them for breakfast and the other half for his lunch.

    Come on now, for all of AJs faults (and he does have lots) its clear to everyone who isnt being obtuse due to their bias that the duck here is Fury, he is a great fighter but so risk adverse.

    Dont disagree but i remember Lewis used to have the same exact criticism.

    @Mitch87 the CV guru would give the Lewis CV an A+ with some cracking wins against elite opponents.

    Joshua could only beat fighters put in front of him but he has fallen short badly in the two Usyk fights.

    Needs a couple of wins against Wilder, Joyce or Fury to show the doubters.
