    Realistically they will both be in the hall of fame. Regardless on if you think they should be or not. Wilder aswell probably. It's a popularity contest not so much a greatness contest

    Yep. The hype that follows Joshua is absolutely ridiculous. Every time he KOs some Scandinavian plodder the same old **** resurfaces.

    He'll have a rebuild fight against *spins wheel* Ortiz and it'll all start again.

    Made a load of money, had some big nights, a few decent wins and sparked a huge upturn in interest for British boxing. Good luck to him.

    Yes, just a man perfect for the money men; an easy sell. Good riddance. Got no time for all the fake niceties now he’s been exposed yet again

    I think the real boxing fan's always knew what Joshua what was all about and not just as a boxer but as a person too, the biggest bullies always tend to be the biggest cowards, and getting humbled in front of 96,000 hometown fans, will be another bitter pill to swallow.

    Obviously he had the casuals fooled, at least until tonight, along with a handful of diehard AJ and Matchroom supporters on here, but there is a reason he never boxed a peak Wilder, and was kept away from punchers.

    Eddie will want the rematch, but in his heart AJ already knows what the result will be, another 20 seconds and Dubois would have had him out in the first round.

    Dubois is someone who has a lot of resilience, he's obviously had a difficult childhood, what with his abusive father, was written off after the Joyce fight, again after the Usyk defeat, but came through the fire against both Miller, Hrgovic and again tonight just before he landed the knockout punch.

    Eddie will obviously put a spin on things, as will others, but AJ will want no part of Dubois again, unless off-course if it is forced upon him and / or the money is too good to turn down. He tried his best to bully and intimidate Daniel during all of the pre-fight / fight week, yet during the introductions he was the one whom looked scared, he kept his robe on until the last moment and didn't warm up in the ring,

    Whereas Dubois showed no fear, faced it and put in the performance of his life.

    You and a few of us on here knew how poor Joshua is for years but the matchroom Mob on here shot us down.

    I would like to raise a glass to the many banned posters who knew including ex-army Jim.

    Feel really bad for @Mitch87 as his CV rankings are up in smoke and some dirty Boxxer employee has turned off his water supply.

    Whatever your opinion of him, Joshua went out swinging tonight.
