Joshua’s meltdown

Just like fury fans despite the **** he has pulled so far

 

Or summon some pipe hittin singers from watford.

I wouldn't want to be tied up around top G Elton John.

 

The good people of Watford will need to rely on Shanny for boxing redemption now.

99% of the forum have been awaiting an announcement and we have one below

Once she comes through celebrity SAS, she will be ready to take on the world.

Well I have a life but I thought AJ showed his backside with his postfight tantrum and I expressed it in some posts on a message board. It didn’t stop me from going to a concert, meeting a friend for lunch or detract me from work.

If sports don’t make us care, they’re pretty useless. If people didn’t care they wouldn’t watch, wouldn’t buy PPV or buy the streaming services that carry them — money which ultimately pays their purses in boxing.

Yes some people were mean to him (or posted mean comments about him) on social media. Same as millions over his championship career posted praise for him. It cuts both ways. He’s not the most dumped-upon athlete in history nor close to it.

He can always step away if it’s too much for him. He’s more than set for life. Naz did it and yes there’s some nasty comments here and there (and a ton of praise for his accomplishments too) but mostly once he retired people forgot about him. AJ could buy an island and never deal with the public again if it’s too much of a drain on him … or, you know, just get off Twitter and Instagram or whatever and ignore it all.

 

Or perhaps people simply got fed up with him being overhyped, and don't like how he behaves at times?

 

For once I'd kind of defend Joshua and I can't admit to being his biggest fan.

His rant was clearly borne of frustration, since the world was telling him "be more aggressive and you'll be OK". It didn't work and you can see why he'd be annoyed - boxing just isn't in his head.

But if he comes out of this with some actual aggresison, like he did in his early career with a smile on his face, people would quickly warm to that again. Less of the philosophy and trying to learn the trade - just get out there and fight the sub-Fury/Usyk/Wilder contenders building some momentum 3-4 times this coming year and get back to pre-Ruiz days. It might not work against Fury and Usyk but little does, and they won't be around for long anyway. And there's not much else coming through in behind them.

 

His conduct was a red face job for our Nation along with his performance in New York on 1 June 2019.

 

Really good video unpacking it here, specific criticism for Team AJ.

Thats not really the point tho. Pretty much in agreement with a lot of your post. In any walk of life you need to take the good with the bad.

What i m saying is responding to the bad doesnt make him a bad fella. People talking about it being a massive red flag...for what exactly. For the pressures of fame getting to him. Thats pretty much the truth of it.

Totally agree that sport should be about opinions....and you should care. But some people go too far with it. The guys been knocked out in front of the world. Hes now went on to lose 2 further fights and everyones telling him hes useless. Its pretty much the humbling a lot of people have been waiting on. Fair enough thats sport.

I m not a joshua fan myself. I,ve pretty much backed everyone to beat him...probably for the exact same reasons a lot of other people have. Just gets silly when boys like safin build him up to be the next jack the ripper. Silly stuff from a troubled mind is not far from the truth.

The reasons for joshuas embarrasing behaviour and actions are there to see....the pressures of fames played a big part of it as opposed to him being an evil fella or a fake as safin puts it. The truth is i,ve not met anyone who,s not been fake at some point in their life. No one can keep to the silly standards safin keeps.

 

All of that is correct. But it's time to move on.

Funny as feck.

 

Yeah to be clear I wasn’t really disagreeing with you and certainly wasn’t calling you out on your post, was just expounding on the theme with a few of my thoughts on the big picture of it.

I don’t think we’re far apart at all in how we see it.

Cheers!
