What's pissing people off into keeping talking about it is the spin that he's still Saint Anthony instead of Big Femi X from "road".
thing is he is not one or the other that is where he is such confusion crisis comes from he is very confused identity he is trying to be squeaky clean role model on one hand & trying to be street tough guy on other hand & he is not one or the other just a big dopey kid with muscles
yes but embarrassing for him was basically confessing he is a useless bodybuilder who cannot box 12 rounds & pleading for credit because he aint a real boxer
Defo mate, im more of an usyk fan out of any of the top 3, but its bordering on the bizarre how people are virtually ejaculating in their undies at his downfall for page after page here and elsewhere on social media. Hes a bit of plum, and lost it the other night, but hes not the biggest **** in the world, never mind in boxing
it is good for boxing that he has been exposed as ' plum ' & Eddie Hearn is facing a backlash. it is good for boxing it is good for boxing that Matchroom propaganda has lost some ground & also shallow marketing of boxer like AJ is backfire a little & fooling the casual fan is become less easy for now it is good because maybe promoters they might think a little about toning down the BS in future & we can see them promote honest decent fights & get more actual 50-50 fight & broadcasters might take a slight less extreme bias cheerleader position to protect their own integrity & from embarrassment. in future not Eddie Hearn but the next lot of promoters & broadcaster might adopt a different approach. & con the people less. & hurt the sport less. there is a ray of hope
Agree bud. I m the same....also more of a usyk fan. Then fury. Then joshua. Truth be told i,ve never really been a fan of joshua. I have rooted against him for most of his career due to the eddie hearn spin etc. But its gets out of hand. Its becoming a case of irrational hate. On one hand everyone said he wasnt a great he was just a weed dealer. So the boy spoke about that part of his history....and they then say hes trying to be a roadman. He cries at the press conference...its just an act. If hes good in defeat as he was against ruiz....hes weak and doesnt have a winning mentality. When hes bad in defeat...its the worst thing they,ve ever seen. When he says hes still learning. Both joshua and eddie both said it. They say he should be taking the big fights cause they,ve told us how good he is. Even tho they,ve just finished telling you hes not the finished article. If he makes a video apologising for his behaviour...it,ll just be an act. Pretty much anything he does ends up a new oppertunity to hate on him. People seem to be demanding his promoter comes on and tell us hes hopeless. Then they,ll say hes threw him under the bus. And on and on it goes. I get it the pair of them have ran away with untold millions between them when he isnt the very best. People are within their right to criticise but the whole regardless of what they do....its completely the wrong thing to do narrative is silly stuff at that point these kinds of people probably need to stop concentrating on joshua and start looking closer at their own life.
I don't think everyone is saying that. they are saying he is an ego maniac with huge ego but very insecure. no belief in his boxing abilities & confesses he's not so good & makes excuses why that is & he thinks everything is about him this is what was witnessed
But is that really the crime its being made out to be. Personally i think fames messed with his head a bit but lets be honest....which one of us wouldnt be an ego maniac in his position. People are practically telling him everyday hes the best thing they,ve seen. People say their the problem but the truth is he probably is the best thing they,ve seen in a boxing ring or at least one of the best. Hell, i m probably an ego maniac and no ones telling me i m the best everyday. A lot of us are. Again i m not criticising people gloating or the criticsm as such...more the regardless of what he does its the wrong thing narrative to the point some are actually declaring him an evil fella etc. Them millions hes made come at a cost....a price he pretty much has to pay. No problem with that just save me the hes an evil fella and everything he does is wrong regardless of what he does chat.
The other side of the coin is that all of the fake and money enables a person to feel more secure and consent. But not with a dolt like Joshua.
Bit of a dick move… Essentially admitting the corner thought they had the fight, so if they’re sending that message to their fighter is it any surprise the fighter was then shocked by Usyk firing back. Just there for the pay day. Not AJ’s biggest fan but he should ditch the clingers on and money grabbers.
I partially agree. The hangers on need to go but McCraken knows him better than most and there's a reason he was over praising him.
Garcia was previously vocal in expressing his opinion that Wilder beats AJ previously so it’s no surprise that he’s pretty much thrown AJ under the bus now that he’s gotten his money. I always thought it was a strange partnership.
Congrats on your team's performance the other night v PSV - simply outstanding. Cracking group and I hope they do well in 4 of the 6 games mate.
