Things are in a dire state when someone like Paint Dry, who has hardly improved, would now likely be able to beat him. I agree that all it would take from Paint Dry would be to let his hands go with bad intentions. Paint Dry, at least, has a chin (or 'chun'), and we know that Joshua doesn't hit that hard. Andy Rice Pudding Ruiz Jr has been on the rice pudding this christmas and it all depends on how fat he comes in, because of course Joshua can't beat a 'reasonable' version of him. Joshua must go back to facing the likes of Gary Cornish Pasty.
Exactly. These clowns were putting out exactly what you've posted. Many claiming Bellew would beat him. FFS. Joshua calling him a "fat ****", when he was at his lowest moment, and while he was enjoying the height of his manufactured hype. That tells its own story about the kind of character Joshua is. Fury fought the man Joshua could've fought for undisputed a total of three times and that is also used, hilariously, as an indication of Fury's weak record. According to the Joshua fanboys it would've been more creditable to box Wilder once and then take on Molina and Breazeale. You can't make it up.
I'm still not ready to write AJ off so readily now. He's still capable of being a good offensive heavyweight. He was never as good as many people here ranked him, but he did well to beat even old Wlad. He's capable of knocking a lot of ranked fighters out still. He's still a cut above pudding like Whyte, for example.
Yeah. It's stupid. In the same time period as Fury has come back from being that complete mess to where he is now, Joshua has beat two 39 year old re-treads (who were both outclassed in their primes by an old Wlad), been smashed up by short fat low-ranked Ruiz, winning only by decision in rematch, and schooled by Usyk (barely making it through the final round). I really would not like to imagine what would happen to Joshua if he'd faced Wilder three times instead.
His power was exaggerated fighting puddings ready to fall over, his stamina weakness is clear and his heart has been broken - he is still capable of a few wins against poor opponents but any decent opponent will stick it to him now. The PPV Mugths were poked big time on this ride and only woke up when Usyk beat him.
I honestly think he would have faced the roof 3 times - once he felt the power that would be him glued to the canvas.
The PPV mugs never wake up. They paid for Dereck fecking Chisora a handful of times. Joshua could be on his ninth loss and they would still be offering up their money.
Sorry the comment about waking up was finally realising that they had been sold a pup with Joshua when they thought they were watching greatness.
Oh, yes. We are currently in that awkward stage where the fanboys are still trying to convince themselves and others that Joshua is the great champion he was hyped to be. Surely, deep down, they now realise that they were had. Totally duped. It's like buying a pair of fake Gucci trainers off of eBay. Idiots walking around 2 weeks later with their big toe through the front of the shoe, trying to convince people that they bought them from Flannels.
It genuinely amazes me how much emotional investment some posters put into actively disliking individual fighters. It must be exhausting feeling the need to justify and force your reasons on others.
Objective opinions not welcome by some on here even though it is a boxing forum with a purpose to discuss boxing. I have no personal dislike for Joshua, Whyte or Chisora but they are simply bang average Heavyweight boxers fleecing millions and millions of pounds from PPV Mugths by falling for Earn's deceitful sales pitch time and again. That is wrong and should rightly be called out. Warriors like Cheeseman and Eggington provide far more entertainment while earning peanuts which is also wrong.
It amazes me how some people simply can't hack a differing opinion. It's a sports forum board. What do you expect? It's part of the fun of being a fan. Not everyone is here trying to come across like a boxing historian or expert, with their arse firmly planted on the fence. The back and forth is enjoyable.
I think some of the Fury haters on this thread are crazy but they are amusing at times too, to be fair. I suspect it's not exhausting at all. It is probably easy to play an extreme role and repeat the same stuff over and over, rather than try to objectively assess things or form a balanced view.
The board would be a complete bore without people having preferences. I enjoy going back and forth with the likes of Mitch and Brixton/Brighton Bomber and whoever else. It's a good laugh. I am not here to kiss the arse of Joshua like a plastic Adam Smith puppet. I am not being paid to do so. At least Smith is earning a ludicrous salary unlike some of the fence sitters on this forum.
How can you talk about character when Tyson said he'd donate his purse to a kids charity and never? And when he's abused the mental health angle, you clown.
