    When you have as a champion such a man who experiences a moment of weakness on the biggest stage in Saudi Arabia, it is bad for boxing, Joshua is the worst champion in the history of boxing and because of him, modern boxing has fallen to the bottom...

    Not sure I follow your logic here...three of his four losses came in the UK. He is 3-1 in Saudi Arabia, with the loss being a rematch after Usyk had already beaten him...in the UK.

    Damn, letting your emotions get the better of you after a hard war with the best of your generation after giving every ounce you have and learning its not good enough. Lets forget all the positives this mans rise in the sport has brought to boxing.

    Quite frankly this is absolutely the most random post i didnt expect to see in October '25. This man is borderline irrelevant right now yet hes still paying rent in your brain. You could have posted about absolutely anything when you woke up today an chose this. Mind boggling. Get a coffee mate and revaluate how to spend the rest of your Saturday

    I'm very confused what the moment of weakness was? Joshua's most embarrassing loss was Ruiz I and that wasn't in Saudi Arabia...the rematch where AJ easily won was.

    Losing to Usyk again wasn't embarrassing. Usyk is the best heavyweight in decades.

    This forum absolutely despises Joshua, even tho he did his best to fight everyone in the division.

    It's about his hypocrisy and the Meltdown, throwing belts outside the ring, Joshua is a disgrace to boxing and I would like to see someone else put him to sleep and retire him.

    When i signed up to this forum, i felt like i was fighting everyone defending AJ, ive been AJs biggest meat rider on here since day 1, blows my mind how he gets so much hate. Legit just a man who got into the sport late and was blessed physically, always been a true professional inside and outside the ring, always looked to fight the best. Trains his absolute nuts off. Always in a exciting fight the majority of the time. You dont have to think hes the best to appreciate him as a boxer, ive never had anything against people who say he would get smashed by Fury, Ive always found it strange how people can have such appreciation for Fury considering all the dodging and lies that have accompanied him since British level let alone World Level yet completely disregard a man thats tried to do everything the right way and showed respect to the sport.

    I remember him being endlessly mocked for his physique as if he did something wrong. This was shortly after the first Fury vs Wilder fight.

    I think there is plenty to dislike about Joshua, and there is nothing wrong in rooting against him as I did myself for a while, but the hate that he gets now is just unreal. He gave it his best shot, brought a lot of eyes to the division, and was more often than not in exciting fights.

    Yeah, its like being built like a greek god is a crime. For me all i see is a unit of a man, brings plenty of action and firepower into the ring which usually ends up being exciting. Honestly i think one of his biggest downfalls inside the ring is trying to become a better boxer instead of using his physical attributes. God forbid a man trying to evolve. He trys to improve his boxing, gets called a useless stiff robot, bulldozes people using his brute size, gets called a big bodybuilder.

    One thing i like, and i credit Fury with this too as much as i dislike alot about him, every sparring story ever from anyone hes brought into camp, hes always looked after them, took time out to share knowledge, and always paid them well. Same goes for Tyson too so respect to them. I think you can learn alot about the higher echelon of boxers true personalities with how they treat people they invite into camp.

    Joshua had the balls to fight everyone who was willing to fight him. Parker, Usyk, Wlad etc. he fought them all.

    I do not believe Joshua avoided Wilder or Fury. In fact, i believe that is the other way around.

    No, he wasn't the greatest of his era. But he is still a top 3 guy in his era and top 50 heavyweight of all time. Pretty good, all things considered.

    Archimedes once said something to the effect of if you give him a lever long enough and a good place to stand, he could move the entire Earth for you. Which is why both of us need to try and get our levers longer, you and me, and we can at least move the chips on our shoulders. With our dongs.
