Ease huh? the fight was absolutely pathetic on both sides. Guess that does mean with ease, since both guys barely threw a punch.
How is it the best because Sky hyped up everyone he fought. Fury would get slated for destroying the likes of Takam and Fury would actually do it without a biased ref being needed.
To the sad folks still carrying the torch for Eddie Hearn's golden goose: No one is saying Joshua's resume is complete ****. What we're saying is that it was SOLD to you for far more than it's worth, and you BOUGHT it. That sting you feel is reality hitting you. The reality that a promoter used words to manipulate you into thinking YKSAB. You got played. You had another man's words coming out of your mouth, doing his work for him. You are the victim of a marketing machine, and it's not entirely your fault. Some of you have said things like "41 year old former champ VK is better than 39 year old reigning champ VK" others have said "the gold medal run was full of close but fair decisions" or finally "Pulev is still easily a top 10 HW" It's time to come home. It's over now.
No tbf to Joshua his resume is not fraudulent,12 World title fights,whilst taking belts from Martin and Parker with three defeats . Yes he has flaws but he’s only lost to two fighters so far in his career and one of his conquerors is one fight away from being Undisputed in 2 divisions .
AJ’s resume looks good compared to pre-Fury Wilder and even Fury’s resume. We get it, Fury can beat a one dimensional opponent, three times. AJ got KOd by fat Andy but his rematch was well fought and he won easily. He improved quite a bit in the second Usyk fight and made it closer than many thought. Fury declined from the second to the third Wilder fight. I think the Usyk 2 fight version of AJ would give the Wilder 3 fight version of fury a competitive battle. Aside from Usyk, the top HWs these days are divas. Wilder thought Fury was shot so he gave him the first fight. Bad decision led to the second and the rest is history. They all need to fight each other (the top four) and we will see who is best. It’s hard to criticize a guy like AJ when so many modern boxers cherry pick and jump weights to avoid top opponents. In the grand scheme, AJ ‘s resume is probably no worse than Fury, maybe a little better when it comes to opponent choices. If Fury avoids Usyk or prices himself out intentionally, AJ’s resume is probably better than Fury’s.
The highlight of the fight for Wlad was getting hold of Fury and sticking the head on him in the 11th round with the ref Tony Weeks clearly watching and he got away with it. The ref sharp took a point off Fury in the same round for the alleged rabbit punches though . This content is protected
What ? Joshua had 14 fights which was less than Whyte who had 16 fights, so i don't really understand your point that makes no sense, Whyte had beef with Joshua going back to the Amateur days. It was a big fight in the UK two upcoming highly rated British Heavyweights, why shouldn't Joshua get credit for this win ? i'm confused. My question to you is outside of the big two Fury, Wilder, who else could Joshua have fought ? and it's not primarily Joshua's fault these fights didn't happen BTW. With Wilder not being eager to face Joshua, and with Fury's long hiatus away from the sport and not fighting often, remember Fury also had a trilogy vs Wilder so that isn't Joshua's fault these fights couldn't be made. Joshua pretty much beat all the other worthwhile Heavyweights in the top 10, so i don't see where the criticism comes from regarding his opposition.
He has a manufactured resume and the proof is not only in the pudding, but Eddie Hearn admits it by defending against that statement...which shows it's true.
These are gold, all the usual Aj fanboys who are clueless talking s..t lol I'm glad I never bought the hype
The thing that is "fraudulent" is the system that allowed Charles Martin to be a 'world champion'. Under such a system and good promotional backing, Joshua was bound to win multiple world title fights, which casual fans can easily mistake as a stamp of great quality.
