    That's what I thought and was hoping he would do. Looks like he bottled it though.

    An elite warrior would have no hesitation - look at Lennox Lewis.

    We have seen that Joshua is simply neither close to being elite or a warrior.

    Lennox declined the Vitali rematch citing his mom wanting him not to go through with it! Warrior my 'arris. He waited until Tyson was 102 until he fought him.

    Even better - who was the older fighter when Lewis fought Tyson

    You are having a mare tonight.

    Bottled that but he didn't bottle Fury. So Fury has bottled a man that has bottled Dubois. Funny thing was Fury said he would face Joshua after he beat Usyk twice (lost twice) and has now ran. He'll return when the circumstances suit.

    He has a mare everyday bar none

    Another one brainwashed by Hearn and probably still believes Joshua is better than Ali.

    Wilder, baby!

    Then a Ruiz rubber. I am the only one who wants to see a third, but I want to see it!

    Ruiz doesn't deserve a third. Anto has stayed active and always in shape while Ruiz is an embarrassment. Why feed his glutinous and materialistic lifestyle. Horrible little bloke. Anto has bigger fish to fry.

    The rematch clause with Dubois for a start - what a coward.

    Anto won't go near Dubois cuz Dubois would knock him out and embarrass him again. It was so funny cuz it went from "this is best joshua ever" to "he's past it". The funny thing was it was the same joshua as ever he was just in with a live opponent

    Hearn told us Joshua would be the greatest of all time knowing full well that he had a fighter that was not much better, if even better, than prime Danny Williams or Matt Skelton types in previous eras.

    Some of us seen right through the soft matchmaking from early on and round 2 versus a very poor Dillian Whyte years ago was all the evidence people needed to know how limited he really was.

    Some of us on here posted our views on here long before the Ruiz Humiliation in New York on 1 June 2019 and were laughed off the forum.

    Joshua has had a good career becoming a vacant route Paper World Champion never dethroning a genuine World Champion in the ring.

    I view him as the Heavyweight Terry Flanagan or Ant Crolla - good careers but nowhere near elite level.

    When you put yourself up there with the greats without substance, take the millions of loot and are found well short of that level, then one is setting themselves up for a humbling experience or two.

    It's as if we're not allowed to state the truth beale... the man has beat nobody good. I've already pointed out the holes in Klitschko win. Parker was dross and still is (and will be crumpled by Dubois), Povetkin was overrated as **** and an old man who'd just taken a count against British level price who was past it himself. Who else has he beat? Molina?

    I remember going to watch Ricky Burns v Terence Crawford at the SECC and Joshua was on the undercard.

    His opponent Hector Avilla made his way to the ring and climbed the steps into the ring.

    My wife said she is not watching this shyte and stood up declaring she is off to the bar.

    I asked why and she said I am not watching this total liberty - he is out of breath already walking up those 5 steps.

    She was spot on and I never even noticed fine detail like that.

    If all that is true, then where does that leave Usyk? By your logic, Fury must be his best win and his resume ain't stellar either?
