    It was a decent dig, he recovered and won, he did all that was asked.
    As for his jab, or lack of, lennox Lewis didn't have a great jab until he changed trainer! AJ can still develop a quality jab and I'm pretty sure he will when the quality of opponent steps up

    It was sweet f*ck all in the context of Heavyweight. It gets overplayed because it's the only thing that the AJ haters have at the moment.

    Apparently AJ has a glass chin because of a moment of stagger against a BIG puncher in Whyte... Funny how those same fans usually never seem to mind that fury has been DROPPED multiple times.

    I suppose 2 is indeed a 'multiple' of 1, so technically you are correct. 2 is 'multiple' times :good

    They were flash knockdowns though. Fury didn't look hurt. He even smiled and brushed his hair while down vs Cunnigham.

    Joshua on the other hand very definitely look hurt and became incredibly stiff legged and took 3 or 4 unanswered body shots that had him doubled over each time. He then staggered back to his corner.

    It wasn't that he got tagged that I think is the issue. It's more the way he went right into his shell and lost his bottle for the next couple of rounds. When he gets into his first tough fight, against someone who doesn't fold like a deckchair when they get hit he's going lose heart very quickly.

    If Breazeale can land a bomb on Joshua it could be interesting.
