Joshua's 'Fake personality' is annoying.....But his work-rate is admirable.

    Just watching this demonstrates how much work this guy puts in fight to fight.

    Against Parker too many people were focusing on what he didn't show.....That usual KO power. But he was clearly working more on fitness and movement/defence, which he showed by getting caught less than in his previous fights with Whyte/Takam/Wlad.

    That is the best movement we have seen from any footage inside the ring, or during training/sparring etc....
    On his toes, much more fluid and far less robotic.
    He's even throwing in head movement.....And finally his muscular arms look a lot smaller.



    The improvement is there to see.
    It's the desire to always be willing to improve his flaws, rather than have the arrogance to think 'I'm the undefeated unified HW champ', that will leave this guy going down as the best of this era.

    It's the difference between him and Wilder for me.

    Wilder is showing the same weaknesses fight to fight.
    Joshua is working on his.

    Once Joshua annihilates Wilder, the difference in class will be apparent, even to the doubters.

    Victor Lustig is my great-great-great uncle. He had Jungle Fever like a ****ing Kardashian. Anyway if you think Joshua is fake then cool but the man makes money and is far more popular than those bums from Russia or the other former Soviet Union. Wilder is gonna KO Joshua as soon as Joshua makes all the money that he can from the UK. I love to see these guys getting mega rich. Also my great -great uncle Lustig also has the right to the Eiffel Tower, if anyone wants to bet me that Joshua beats Wilder then let's do it sissy. I bet the biggest structure in Paris.

    I don't know really. You make the wager and I'll agree to it. Wilder knocksout Joshua and Eddie Hearn passes a kidney stone inside of Kell Brook ass because of the truama.

    He is literally controlled and micro-managed by a corporation. Without that constant pressure it would be a very different level of intensity, just as if people were not made to go to school and sit exams few would study hard. There's also a very common genetic thread to the people controlling his every movement and shaping his entire existence. You haven't noticed? I'll give you a clue, this isn't happening in Nigeria. Even Wilder was smart enough to work it out and that says something.

    The other element is he has absolutely nothing else he can do well but sport because he has zero intelligence or genuine talent. Seriously, what else could he possibly do? You might as well say criminals have such a noble work ethic because they pump iron all day given they are dumb animals and pressured to look tough so they don't get raped as much. These guys are such good role models, maybe we should have them sponsor consumer junk to peddle to idiot lemmings too?

    His personality is fake and his handspeed is amazing in the gym, because the pads don't hit back, he can bully the **** out of them like a real boss, but when he's in there with someone who can punch back.... that's another story.

    I believe hes clean and i dont have to explain ****. Why dont you explain why he isnt clean. Pointing to his belly is not even nearly enough though.

    Get it right Willie, Wilder doesn't knock Jenner out.

    He sends him straight to the morgue in a body bag with his name on it!

    In terms of his personality we clearly don't see the real him, he much like Lennox Lewis has a different persona for the media that he does for those close to him in his real life and he keeps much of his personal life private which why his twitter and instagram looks more like an advert for himself and his brands than a personal social media account.

    Personally I don't care about his personality. I watch boxing for the boxing and follow certain boxers because of how they box not because of their persona. If you want to follow personalities I suggest you go watch some reality TV show like the Kardashians or something similar, I get the entertaining I'm looking for the boxing not the personality.

    And yes Joshua's professionalism and the work he puts in the gym is admirable, he doesn't just train hard either he trains smart. He has a good trainer in McCracken and we've seen him make clear improvement almost with every fight which is indicative of the work he puts in.

    He has lateral movement in the gym too (2nd video) and yet gets back on his train tracks in the ring.

    Fast hands, yes. But his feet are so sponderous it's like they send his brain an email to tell him they're in range. ''You got mail Anthony... Punch!'
