Is Wallin worse than Molina and Breazeale, two men who Joshua defended a world title against? Fury, as we kept hearing from the Joshua fans, held no belts.
It's just been one big bitter hateful campaign from hearns team Bellew called fury out on his comeback giving him verbals and making out he coukd beat Fury Whyte repeatedly ****-talked and called fury a coward despite fury giving him a shot straight away when made mandatory David Haye repeatedly saying he's got furys number despite pulling out of a fight twice with fury and tipping everyone fury ever fights to beat him Chisora tipping whyte and wanting to bet his house on him beating fury, **** talking fury during his weird love in with AJ AJ who for the most part iis respectful despite declaring how much he wanted Whyte to beat Fury Then Eddie Hearn who has non stop **** talked Fury at every opportunity for years, constantly accusing that fury will duck fighters, constantly backing him to lose, playing down furys achievements at every opportunity, laughably saying Fury had no punch power before he splattered Whyte all over the canvas. This entire group, as well as the sky pundits, have done anything they could over the past 5 years to con the public into thinking AJ is the man, so thank God for the likes of Carl Froch and Lennox Lewis for calling things straight, for not being part of the back slapping crew.
All very true. Chisora is a strange one. People talk about his friendship with Fury, and dismiss my claims that he is bitter toward Fury. This totally bypasses the fact that "friends" are often jealous of each other. It pains Chisora to see Fury doing so well, for he was billed to be the favourite going into their first bout. He smack talked Fury back then and truly believed he could beat him. He was in for a rude awakening. Fury then went on to achieve a respectable degree of greatness, and as the stakes have continued to rise, particularly financially, Chisora has found this hard to stomach, particularly with how Fury unanimously schooled him in an absolute shutout, battering him like nobody had done before and nor since. Chisora is an odious, low-class prat of a man. Bellew calling out Fury when he was morbidly obese was laughable. He said that he would knockout Fury, but wouldn't ever consider a bout with Joshua because he is "too big, too strong". Some of us seen something in Fury when he was in slugfests with McDermott, getting dropped by Pajkic and Cunningham and so on. He was not manufactured and carefully moved along. Joshua has come unstuck because 1) He's a good boxer, but clearly not as good as Sky and Hearn billed him to be and 2) He was having snoozefest world title fights against losers like Molina, Breazeale and Takam. If Klitschko wasn't gassing and telegraphing left hooks from the fourth or fifth round, he would have done him in that night and ended the hype, but the gravy train rolled on and he faced an old Povetkin and Parker - both billed as top 5 heavyweights. Unfortunately for Hearn and Joshua, sticking Parker or Povetkin in the "top 5 heavyweights" is like a tennis ranking with Federer, Djokovic, Nadal, Wawrinka and then someone like David Ferrer. There are 5000 miles between the fourth and so-claimed fifth spot. Lack of ability but also lack of toughness when in the red zone cost Joshua and he hardly threw caution to the wind against Usyk, did he? His "deep record" is why. People have been duped.
In the last 11 months E-Hearn's golden goose AJ had all his belts annexed off him by Usyk and then whooped again in the rematch. His ginger golden goose Clenelo got whooped by Bivol And Haney who he was banking on becoming his new American golden goose to help him break the USA signed a contact with Bob Arum Not the best year for Eddie
Terrific post, Joshua is a good fighter and a 5 round wrecking ball but I think he lacks the 3 fundamentals of greatness in being able to produce his best in adversity, stamina, and the adaptability to make in fight adjustments to conquer an opponent. I do actually like Bellew and think he gives good insights, Chisora you have to respect in the ring but 'odious' is the right description out of it and as for Haye he is beyond delusional, just a plain hater at this stage. It is like Edfie Hearn managed to convince all of Whyte, Haye, AJ, Bellew, Chisora that they can beat Fury, whilst managing to convince them all that they can't beat AJ, it's all becoming a bit too much to stomach.
No idea how you can like Bellew. I literally can't think of one likeable thing about him. He is such an insufferable, corny, dense prat with unmatched hubris. Chisora is a horrible bloke all round. He shares some characteristics with Bellew. But more of a genuinely nasty bloke. Quite a dirty guy too. Listening to the pair of them will diminish anybody's capacity to think straight for the next hour or so after listening. David Haye is at least amusing and sometimes interesting. He talks a lot of nonsense and is bitter, too, but his intellectual capacity is far superior to the two aforementioned dolts. A total sleaze is Haye but better than some of the others. Sky has really died a death in the last decade with some of these ex-boxers and the adoption of pointless female presenters who contribute nothing to the broadcast.
And you've conveniently missed that point that at least Fury actually has had big fights, and big wins. Before Usyk was forced upon him (and losing both times, by far) he had only fought Klitschko, which was a shell version.
Usyk wasn't forced upon Joshua. Yes it was a mandatory but he could have vacated the WBO belt and claimed he wanted Fury instead of fighting Usyk. There were no other big options for Joshua to fight apart from Wilder, who we all know since he accidentally admitted it, fought Fury for less money instead of fighting Joshua.
You’re just proving my point. Why would he vacate to face Fury? The guy didn’t want to face Wilder as it was high risk. Facing Fury and losing would be much worse than losing to Usyk. Joshua doesn’t like facing the best. He likes facing puddings and selling them to gullible people as good, when they’re crap.
Eddie told AJ: You simply MUST get those belts off Usyk! AJ promptly took them from him and threw them out of the ring, expecting a pat on the head from Eddie. When he didn’t get it, he went into business for himself taking the flag and mic and tried to convince the world that he’s the victorious Ukrainian warrior.
Not really. Much worse losing to a Cruiserweight who many claimed struggled with Chisora. He would have made a lot more money fighting Fury too.
Last I heard he was going through his list of Charles Martin at the O2, Takam at Principality and Pulev at Wembley like they are Ken Norton, Joe Frazier and George Foreman.
