    Joshua has been coddled and protected his whole professional career. Avoiding the hard challenges like the plague. They were scared of Klitschko, Fury steps in. They were scared of Wilder, Fury steps in. They were scared of Usyk, Fury has to step in once again.

    Joshua never wanted to fight Usyk in the first place. He was FORCED to fight him. He even threatened to vacate. Either way, Usyk fight goes ahead and Joshua gets absolutely battered, pummeled and pushed back by the smaller man. I just rewatched round 12 and you could clearly see Joshua was ready to spit that mouthguard out and call it a day. The moment that bell rang Joshua COLLAPSED onto his stool and was GRIMACING in pain.

    Joshua has now the ability to fight Usyk again and regain his belts but is instead choosing to STEP ASIDE. That’s not a real champion. That’s what you call a fraud. A real champion is someone like Tyson Fury who actively seek to fight the best. Any time, any place, anywhere.

    He is a fraud fighter but helluva bodybuilder. He should open UK's largest bodybuilding gym with his $15m.

    Doing the math:

    Gifted gold
    Chinned by a little fatman who had 3 weeks notice
    Schooled by a midget
    Probably going to get KO'd by that same midget
    Almost died against Fury soul destroyed Wlad
    Beats up old men: Takam, Pulev, Povetkin, Wlad

    6 round gas tank
    Dodgy chin
    Dodgy heart
    Awful mental ability

    He's lucky they failed to coddle him to let Fury smash his head in, in what would have been the most embarrassing performance of all time.

    Truly. I've only sparred and trained in a gym and that enough for me to know there's nothing fraudulent about a guy with AJs accomplishments being like "I'm a great fighter"

    Fury turned professional in 2008. Joshua turned professional in late 2013.

    He was never an elite, hall-of-fame fighter, but he proved himself at World-Level and that he was one of the better fighters at his time of fighting. No shame in losing to Usyk, plus regardless of the circumstances he avenged his defeat to Ruiz.

    Don't get how he can be a fraud when he has beaten some good decent fighters.

    I’m not a big Joshua fan but screw this:

    1. A fraud would have dropped the WBO instead of fighting Usyk.

    2. A fraud wouldn’t have unified 3 titles

    3. A fraud wouldn’t have rematched Andy Ruiz immediately after getting embarrassed.

    4. You get the picture.

    There are things to not like about AJ but them man made everybody in the HW division money and at least attempted to fight them all.

    Old post

    Did AJ deserve his gold medal? Nope. He didn't even deserve to make the podium at those games

    Was Wlad 41, hadn't fought in 18 months, and well past his best?

    Was Povetkin 39 y/o and was well past his best?

    Was Pulev 39 y/o and well past his best?

    Yes to all three

    Does AJ enjoy the privilege of fighting on a deck which is heavily stacked in his favour the vast majority of the time?

    Is that a big advantage?

    Yes and yes.

    However, he is a very good fighter

    He took up the sport late and has achieved a lot in a very short space of time

    He does have the best resume in terms of depth in the division

    Wlad, Povetkin, and Pulev were still good fighters at that point and worthy of their lofty rankings

    And Whyte, Parker, Fat Andy and Takam are good wins too

    Even his wins over much lower level guys Breazeale, Martin and Molina would be/are considered top wins for Bum Dosser Deontay who has only beaten 2 world champions in 44 fights and one was shot to bits and 2-4 in their last six fights, 3 of said loses via KO or stoppage, both wins being cans

    In 26 fights AJ has fought

    Usyk
    Wlad
    Povetkin
    Whyte
    Parker
    Fat Andy
    Pulev
    Takam
    Martin
    Breazeale
    Molina

    Beaten five world champions

    He has also fought a lot of big punchers amateur and pro

    To be fair he was going to until they agreed to a rematch. Now it looks as though he is ducking that rematch.
