    Yeah, the Joshua resume bashing has always seemed odd to me when looked at in the context of his rivals.

    The fact of the matter is that nearly all active HW's have sub standard resumes due to the fact that until Turki rocked up on the scene, the top HW's spent most of their time avoiding each other.

    This isn't a HW exclusive problem, either. Boxing over the past 10 years or so has been more about good, quality fights not being made than good, quality fights being made.

    He was touted as the next great HW by his promoter, Eddie Hearn, and by the people who worked for Sky, who, considering Eddie was exclusive to Sky at the time, might as well have been on Eddie's payroll.

    This is what promoters and their network affiliated lackeys do. I've always seen this being a strategy employed by promoters that is solely targeted at the casual fan. The type of fan who is easier to hoodwink. I didn't think actual boxing fans took it seriously.

    Joshua shouldn't be held to a higher or lower standard than his peers.

    Like I said, people rate him higher than you and expected more. That's fine. It's a subjective sport.

    What a demolition by Dubois. Joshua looks finished at the top level. I am glad loudnouth Fury loses out on a big payday against AJ. I would gladly pay to see Fury-Dubois, but, I doubt Fury has the guts to take that fight at this point.

    AJ showed once again that he doesn't recover well when hurt.

    He is the anti-Fury in that regard.

    I didn't realise Dubois could counter so fast and sharply. His timing and punch placement, and angles were spot on. That first round shot nearly took AJ to the moon, he had NO idea it was coming, almost a sucker punch.

    And seemingly, when AJ does lose, mentally, it's not simply a case of just one step back for him, either. Mentally he goes all the way back around the board to 'GO'.

    It's alway's gonna be a long road back for him, at best.

    Lol.

    AJ's final and finishing canvas position was pretty comical, too. He had his cheek on the deck and his arse high in the air.

    A perfect rodgering position...

    ;)
