of all the things included in Joshua's cringey, spoiled brat rant after the fight is it bad that I was most offended by him mentioning Dempsey and Marciano ? I really needed Will Smith to appear and shout ''keep their names out your fking mouth'', Jack Dempsey has been dead for 39 years and he'd still beat Anthony 'David Brent' Joshua (it also goes without saying that "I don't know what's happening in Ukraine but it's not nice" is an epic arse head quote) Thank God 'The White Rabbit' Usyk stole his soul
Let’s be honest they would have both been way too small even if they’re more skilled there’s weight divisions for a reason. Also considering that he’s a former heavyweight champion himself doesn’t he have more of a right to talk about them then any of us do? I don’t get your point he just mentioned them as examples
they are legends, he is a marketed fraud, there was no need for him to mention them in that situation He also just lost twice in a row to a cruiserweight
The weirdest thing about that was that I don't recall anyone talking about him in relation to Marciano. I get the impression he's seen a comment like that on Twitter and taken it to heart. He's a mental weakling.
He thought the show was all about him and couldn't control himself after being schooled again. Stone cold loser and he knows it.
Joshua should be forgotten, not because of the defeat but because of his behavior after the fight, he is a Narcissus who is used to being noticed from all sides, I hope that will change...
he wasn't disrespectful I think he pretty much made confession Rocky Marciano was better than him. despite being 4 stone lighter
He wasn't disrespecting them. He just mentioned them as examples. The only person(s) he disrespected was Usyk & his team. You're making an issue over nothing. It's not that deep.
It was embarrassing. You're right, he seems to have this illusion that HE is the man and it's all about him. I read an article the other day which raised an interesting point... AJ probably had a victory speech that he (or his team) had worked on in some detail. He was going to do an epic monologue about overcoming adversity, etc. But he ended up losing the fight of course, so at that point he thought "bugger it, let's do it anyway" and proceeded to embarrass himself.
Definitely his rant had prep to it minus the hip hips added on for Usyk. As if hip hip meant anything to that crowd btw. Tears vanished when checked his balance at nearest cashline.
Given the lofty heights the opinions such an intelligent and articulate man holds for me, I'd be more offended if he praised my favourite boxer from history than insulted him. He makes Kanye West look like The Lucasian Chair of Mathematics I doubt he could te Rocky Marciano and Jack Dempsey apart, I don't see why anyone should care what he thinks of them.
