    I couldn't stand Lewis, very aloof and tbh zero personality, but come h2h match ups ever, and I have him top 2..Joshua will never be as good as the Canadian proud Heavy that they had in Lewis over there. I dislike Joshua for the racist remarks he's made and the general undercurrent of fakeness that is there for everyone to see..Have you ever heard of a Boxer labelled "Fake" before like Joshua ? No, me neither, there's a reason for it

    I think it's because he's the prototype. Uber-marketable successful heavyweight in the internet age. He ticks all the right boxes to get loads of sponsorship and corporate interest. It's a clever idea really, and he's developed into a very good fighter.

    He is fake and boring though, and that can't be changed unfortunately. It's a bit of a goldielocks situation with the big three and how they're perceived - Fury is too much of a loose cannon, Wilder is far too stupid - Joshua is the middle ground.

    I don't really like the guy much - I think he's got a real dark side but it's been covered up well. I suspect he's not a particularly nice man. I do admire, in a way, what Matchroom have done with him though. Really good marketing.

    It was the same thing with Joe Louis. He also had the carefully crafted image of the polite and respectful boxer, essentially to try and distance him from the excesses and the antics of Jack Johnson, who was the only black world Heavyweight champion to precede Louis; but away from prying eyes, Louis liked to snort cocaine and have sex with lots of women.

    Fake like a Robot? Fake because as a human being he shows more than one side? Are his belts fake?

    Fake because he’s awkward and unconvincing in his public appearances. Whether he’s playing the media-friendly nice guy or the thug. Both personalities seem insincere to me.

    When you combine that with the Eddie Chambers stuff you can see why people call him a fake.

    By his own admission he's a nasty son of a ***** but Boxing has given him the discipline to control his, let's say, more colourful side. Matchroom have done a great job turning him from street guy done good after winning Gold at the Olympics into the most marketable money making machine in Heavyweight Boxing today. He's doing well and all kudos to him.
    All fighter's have someone who gets under their skin, looks like AJ has two now in BB and Whyte. I prefer the nasty AJ in the ring to the tailored one who appeals to the masses and I think he does too.

    It's Joshua's Roid Rage that is showing his brain is rattling with all the PEDs , Eddie will have to calm him down with a cup of Bovril and a valium .

    I also think he is not a genuine nice guy, i can guarantee in the future it will all come out and we will get to see his Mr Hyde character, Larry Holmes made a great prediction about Tyson and he was right and looked what happened to Tyson.
    Joshua is a completely different character from Tyson Fury deep down i think Fury has a good heart and is a family man , where Joshua has a big ego, me, myself and I , Joshua only cares about himself and that will destroy him sooner or later

    He's a phony through and through, that's part of the reason I've never liked him, I saw through his nice guy Golden Boy act from Day 1.
