    Well he boxed better than I thought he could. Even made a few adjustments.And his gas tank was greatly improved...

    Huh?
    Joshua beat Klitschko who was top 3.

    Joshua has beat 4 top 5 guys
    Fury has beaten 2 top 5 guys
    Wilder has beaten 1 top 5 guy

    And Joshua, tonight, just took a loss to arguably a top 5 guy

    klitschko top 3 when he fought Joshua ? Wlad was coming off a loss and had not fought for nearly 18 month and was retired iirc .

    There's a good argument for Usyk to be the #1 Cruiserweight in history. ATG to me.

    Why would Wilder duck Joshua but be willing to fight the vastly superior Fury three times?? Makes no sense. Joshua is a very good fighter but is no boogeyman.

    Only trouble is I don't believe Joshua knew how good Usyk is. Not so much bravery as seeing the fight as easy pickings against a small man. Wilder and Fury faced each other twice, with a third fight imminent! Joshua is now becoming irrelevant.

    At least the AJ fans are giving him credit. Some fanboys come up with every excuse in the book.

    Both Wilder and Fury have 90% crap on their records.

    Fury wasn’t seen as much of a threat around the 1st time he fought Wilder. Joshua still hadn’t lost to Ruiz and was beating/KOing rated fighters. He probably figured that he could land another hailmairy in the rematch, this third fight he’s obviously having mental issues.

    I dont go to the British Forum here nor do i sift through youtube or article comments. But based on the general, i never saw any Joshua fanboys saying and behaving the way fanboys for Floyd, Golovkin, etc do. I see there being a lot of comments calling out Joshua fanboys. I never saw it and still dont. I think everybody generally likes Usyk and dont see anybody making any upset/delusional posts in the name of fandom. Could be staying out of the wrong threads, though!
