    I don't think he was a complete hype job, he was good enough to garner some respectability in the boxing world, but at the end of the day he fell short to a great boxer that outclassed him, and a big puncher that will always have the ability and high chance of stopping him. I hope he retires personally, as that was a bad and humiliating KO. I get no joy seeing that again to be honest even though I'm not a big fan of his. He's got a long road back if he carries on. He's got the ability to KO Dubois, he showed he can hurt him, but its a big roll of the dice.

    sheep who used to worship him were laughing at him. I’ve always really disliked him and I said how can you laugh at that. Takes some ****ing balls and effort trying to get up from that. Especially after being dropped heavily twice before. This is why I am growing to hate everyone. Fickle and horrible most of society.

    Joshua was a bit like Tyson. A good 6 round fighter at his peak. But punch resistance and stamina declined later in his career.

    You are certainly one who knew what was coming a long time ago.

    I disagree, I think it was very reminiscent of the Ruiz fight, he was almost looking to for a way-out or to be rescued by the referee or the corner at least from the end of the first round until he caught Dubois.

    Then for a brief moment of time in the final round you saw the AJ swagger and arrogance return and then Dubois walked him right into the humbler.

    Yes, he was on his way out and still had the tongue sticking out, chest pumping arrogance. Then when he caught Dubois his grin came out, can’t blame him for that bit I suppose as the adrenaline and excitement would have been flowing.

    never had the pleasure but I’ll raise a glass to Jim. Was he banned for calling out Joshua ? What other members were given the boot ?

    Nonsense, Joshua was out on his feet in round 2 and 3 but carried on and and tried landing. You don't do that if you don't have heart.

    Defence is pants. He’s normally just taller or younger than opponents he looks good against. They’ve not got the length or legs to get to him

    At times like these I look back and laugh at a lad I used to lift share with in about 2014 who no word of a lie called Joshua “the hardest man on the planet” hahahaha I was like are you 10?

    Plenty of them - lencoreastside and channy were another 2 with an eye for mediocrity.

    People were giving honest views of Joshua and the brainwashed Matchroom crew were accusing them of trolling.

    I take it the match room crew got banned too. U can’t notice many fanboys on this part of the forum at least. Shame people get banned. It’s just a laugh at the end of the day. Bit of entertainment.
