    There's always a nutcase like this after every upset. Might want to consider giving the winner credit for a change.

    I've given Usyk endless credit on numerous posts and on numerous sites. I even won a tidy sum off the back of the win. I am just saying AJ is finished and you heard it here first. It's so obvious.

    Assuming he fights the rematch and loses, I reckon they cash in on a final fight against Fury first.

    Joshua doesn't strike me as the guy who'll be happy to toil away fighting final eliminators after being unified champion for so long. He's also made enough money so he can stop whenever he wants.

    Fury doesn't fight irrelevant losers

    AJ is done either way, it's in his eyes, his body language. Good luck to him though, he has done well out of boxing and can hopefully sail away into the sunset set for life and with faculties intact.

    Could you please be more specific?

    "Eat her" as her skin and meat or eat her as in going down on her?!

    I would choose: you gonna have to eat out your granny's teasure, if Joshua KO's Usyk! I agree it's not gonna happen, but there is no one more dangerous than a man who has got nothing to lose.

    I better bookmark this thread :)

    Listen I'm sure enough to put my money where my mouth is. She died back in 2011 which makes it even trickier but such is my belief that AJ has zero chance.

    Not hungry anymore. If he had no money and his families only hope to get out of poverty rested on his shoulders, I guarantee he would not give in so easily. Dude is young, in good health, plenty of money to live nice the rest of his life. It's easy to check out when things get rough in the ring. Now when he loses, he goes home to a mansion and eats filet mignon. If he were poor, goes home to a tore up, house with dirt floors and boiled bologna water for dinner.

    There's a major mental deficiency there now and I don't know if there's any coming back from that.

    But for the sake of argument lets say he does beat Usyk , what then? There's huge pressure on him to fight Fury , another guy thats all wrong for him. If he comes out successful in that fight he has very difficult mandatories against Joyce and Hrgovic.
    There's no easy touches out there for Joshua and if you look through the divisions I don't think there's anybody who has the level of pressure on their shoulders that Joshua has.

    Look at Crawford and Spence. Both top pound for pounders who are not being pressured in the slightest to fight each other. They go through one year after the next taking winnable fights.
    Joshua was willing to fight Fury before he fought Usyk. Thats respectable. Guys like Joshua and Usyk are great for the division and the sport. It would be bad if AJ finishes. I don't think he should finish , but he should definitely stay away from the rematch. He won't be the first to swerve a guy and certainly wont be the last. At least he gave it a go. That all you can ask of someone

    Another thread of people claiming AJ was strategically moved as he carved his way through the top 10.

    what if he went on to beat Wilder in the future, would you eat crow?

    and would you really eat crow or just the pretend way most people on the net assume is valid today?
