    Excellent.

    Great shout on AJ being wobbled by the only two people with a pulse. I agree with that. Povetkin would bulldoze right through Anthony if they met.

    How come you don't like AJ? I don't like him either. He seems like a fake. The tongue thing he does is not what true sportsman do.

    Also, I feel that Wlad was trying way too hard for the left hook KO. He should have just hit him with everything.

    I agree Klitschko was a bit too conservative in the 7th and 8th rounds he should have as you say thrown everything at him. It would have been a great way to go out for him. But it's all ifs and buts and only one lad got the job done in the end.

    I don't like him for the same reason you. I think it's all about fake and you can see through it. You can tell Hearn or somebody is pulling the strings on what he should say.

    I know people loving Joshua who would judge others with similar criminal background as scum bags. But because it's AJ it's ok. It's hypocritical.

    The above rolled into what I mentioned in the previous post about luck. Most people don't even think he won gold in London. It all gets on my nerves a little bit.

    I can see Joshua having a similar career to Wlad, were he dominates for years but without real career defining super fights. Through no fault of his own but through the lack of quality in the division.

    No question AJ has had media training. He's clearly no fool anyway, combine that with maintaining a clean-cut image, and he seems like an angel.

    All boxers have media coaching if there capable of listening . It's their livelihood.

    Couldn't Care less if he is fake but really an orrible c he's a fighter why should he be nice .. he's tryig to carve a career. He knows he's got to be outwardly media friendly for all his sponsorship.

    All well being fury and real but no one would touch him with a barge pole
