    Me nor anyone else on this forum bumped Epstein off nor have we protected any nonces. None (presumably) of us are in the elite top powerful 0.1% who are running this global show behind the scenes nor do we condone their decisions. We are entitled to be disgusted by the Saudi Arabia regime & express it. I fully understand why Eddie wants the rematch there, the wedge is impossible to ignore but we have the right to also highlight the deplorable lack of human rights there.

    I don’t use my own (or the US) government as my own moral compass in which to pass judgement on other regimes. I use my own....not that it matters or makes any difference anyway.

    Calling the proven ATG Lennox Lewis a clown, is probably not a great way to go about things. Lewis has said some silly stuff in the past but the man deserves a lot of respect for his accomplishments. AJ should just be quiet and go about proving him wrong, naming calling a guy like lewis, Jesus....

    Lennox has dished out some criticism, but that’s part of his role now. However, he has never called Joshua insulting names...to call Lennox a clown doesn’t say much about Joshua but at the same time i’m glad he’s showing this side to himself. I hate the fake persona, the cliches & how he sounds like a younger version of Spencer Fearon. Let’s have the real Joshua, even if he does talk s***e.

    His referring to the him as a clown because of his comment's not his boxing.

    If Lewis wants to dish it out nothing wrong with AJ throwing dirt back.

    I've no issue with him calling Lewis a clown. Lewis has been critical and it's probably pissed AJ off. If you're pissed off, don't be afraid to express it. That's just being real. Rather him call Lennox a clown than dip into his bag of media friendly quotes.

    AJ needs to find his inner animal if he's to win the rematch.

    Hopefully we get to see the real AJ and not the one that reads off a script to the camera. He’s been extremely well managed by his team regarding the media front. In all fairness they did that good of a job that the hype was TOO big for AJ himself. He even admitted this by saying he was “worried about unifying the division”.

    I’d love for him to just go all rogue and telling people what really happens and what he actually thinks himself! So far all he’s been is a puppet in front of the camera.

    My point is start at home. People are so quick to pont the finger at the middle east but when it comes to the tremendous corruption going on under our own noses it's brushed under the carpet.

    I maintain my position that for the vast majority complaining about the human rights in Saudi it's just another way to have a stab at the Muslims.

    It's about time he did to be honest.

    I'm not the biggest fan of the bodybuilder as is well documented but all and sundry have taken pops at him and he sits there trying to be PC and it's just not him.

    Big respect Lennox for his accomplishments but he's just saying what pbc tell him to as they are paying him

    AJ’s rabbit ears and thin skin are showing.

    Pressure busts pipes.

    No, I disagree. Responding to criticism by calling them names shows that they can’t formulate an intelligent response.

    Absolutely nothing to do with Islam or Muslims you simply do not treat women or people who choose to have different religious or ideological views with prejudice, torture, violence and imprisonment. What is shameful is western governments turning a blind eye in order to protect vital business and defence interests.

    He does get rattled easily doesn't he. I'm not really sure if that's a benefit to him or not, but admitting that he was looking beyond Ruiz and had half an eye on Wilder/Fury last time indicates he doesn't perform if he's not fully focussed.

    I think AJ's about to become a boxing memory. Another massive loss puts him somewhere in Palooka ville, even if only in my eyes.

    I don't want to be too sure about that though because look at what Lewis did...






    AJ ain't no Lennox Lewis, baby.

    About time. Joshua needs to be himself he’s much more interesting when he is. Lennox can’t really complain he’s been hating on him for years.
