Anthony Joshua has beat: - Whyte - Parker - Brezeale - Klitschko - Takam - Povetkin Tell me another heavyweight who has had 7 high level fights in a row without fighting an absolute bum in between? He’s won 6 out of the 7 fights.
I've read 50 times now that Andy Ruiz Jr. will destroy AJ again and it will play out exactly like in fight #1. Must be true if everyone here says it.
Yeah it’s crazy how some people’s opinion can swing so wildly from one side to the other on a single loss.
Yes, he has become underrated because most boxing fans (especially on here) are extremely bi-polar. Losing 1 fight means you were never good anyway and your career is over.... J-Rock is calling you emotional fan-girls out. Anyway, the heavyweight division is still quite frankly rubbish. Yes, AJ did really well to fight everyone who was top rated (besides Wilder and Fury) however those guys are rubbish. Takam & Brezeale are far from world class in any other ear. Klitschko was almost 2 years since his last fight, and 41 years old. Povetkin was 39 years old. Don't get me wrong, AJ is sill a top 5 fighter, he is world class, and he is amazing for heavyweight boxing worldwide. It is a shame the way he has been written of completely as if everyone is happy to see him go. I'm not and can't wait to see him back.
Agreed, but to be fair the fact that he lost to Ruiz is like a wet dream to the Fury/Wilder fans and for AJ's general haters... let 'em enjoy it for a few months I guess! AJ splats Ruiz in the rematch!
Been saying this all along. If AJ beats Ruiz in the rematch. I'm going to be bumping up threads and quoting.
AJ Loses one fight and becomes a bum Yet I am reading everywhere on here that Parker is the future or comments of that nature Using the AJ logic, how does that work? He just lost two in a row (ignoring the bum fight in NZ) Shouldn't he be a double bum then? AJ is still top 3 We will know more after the rematch
Joshua loses a fight and all of a sudden he's a bum? Lads we need to hold off on any judgements until we see just how he responds.
It really depends on which Joshua turns up. The fact he brought in a sports psychologist for the Ruiz fight tells me he is struggling with the pressure. That sports psychologist should never work again by the way.
Funny, I have never been an AJ fan as I am Team Wilder all the way... Even still, I will pulling for AJ to climb back and reclaim his glory. The only thing more shameful than the fake media who built AJ up in the first place are all the phony, bandwagon fans who are now turning their backs on AJ Im hoping AJ proves all of these people wrong and gets his big legacy fight against Wilder
This. Joshua is definitely not a bum and still has a ton of potential. However, he needs to be more active, since despite being a former champion he’s still very inexperienced and needs to keep growing as a fighter. Also, in the rematch he needs to fight smart and not try to force the knockout like he did in the first fight.
No, Most of us have always known he was a hype job. Joshua Quitting half way through a fight just proved it.
Surely you can't consider a unified world champ with several defences a hype job after one loss? How does the stoppage prove it exactly? We need to at least see the rematch before making these type of statements!
