    Not from the UK, no.

    But your post is typical baseless AJ hate.

    Thinks hes the best thing since sliced bread : Where does this come from? When facing an opponent he respects, hes relatively humble in both victory and defeat.

    Him being manufactured : How can the guy with the best resume in the division, who practically fights a top 10 guy almost every other fight, be manufactured. That literally makes no sense. He fought Whyte, a guy who beat him the last time they swapped punches, in his 15th pro fight.

    If AJ is manufactured, not quite sure what that makes everyone else.

    Fury is the peoples champion? lmao. Calling AJ manufactured and then turn around and praise Fury of all people, lol. Comical really.

    Fury, whose never made a single title defense and whose 4 of his last 5 opponents are shwartz, wallin, pinyata and safari... ya thats real peoples champ stuff there. Not manufactured at all :lol:

    Furys great at milking his fans though, thats for sure :lol: I'll never understand it.

    A fighter failing to live up to his hype doesnt justify the level of irrational hate that AJ gets.

    I think they will drop the rematch and try and fight the winner of Usyk vs Fury/wilder.

    That would probably make the most sense financially. Would be great if they did fight Wilder though but they have been messed around by Wilder before.

    Fair enough. I haven't read the hate posts, probably because I stop reading most posts that start of ridiculous.

    Stating that AJ was overhyped, and gloating about it isn't as disrespectful as the hype machine telling us he was the 2nd coming of Ali.

    As much as I enjoyed watching Usyk operate against Joshua, the hype he's getting is reaching Pre-Ruiz Joshua levels.

    Over hyping fighters is a huge disservice to them.

    It's a Joshua thread you blindboy biased fanboy. And still Fury did not beat Klitschko. The lost come because of Klitschko not being mentally there, and not throwing enough, not being aggressive enough, and just not have a good day in the office.
    There was nothing special in that fight. And it was one of the most ugly HW fight ever as well.
    And again this wasn't a beatdown, it wasn't some masterful performance, it was Klitschko not showing up. Still Fury won by landing 1-2 more arm punches, because of Klitschko's inactivity.
    Again Klitschko was way more motivated in Joshua, and was in actually a better at least visual shape. For me Klitschko of that night, even more regressed would have beaten Fury. With the motivation, with the aggression and with the gameplan.

    As far as the ring, it was all in the regulation, and Klitschko fought his last few(or more i don't know) on the same ring(with the same padding).
    There was nothing illegal, so check your facts before you talking nonsenses.
    As far as Fury mental issue, that ain't my problem and i ain't buy in it.

    This is a nice to see from Usyk(always a class), cause he could just send someone else to give Joshua belts back.

    Blindboy biased fanboy ! It’s a Joshua thread you say yet you mentioned Fury before me in numerous posts I just replied to one.I’m not the one making up medical assumptions as to why a fighter got beat,unless you are a shrink/doctor then I do apologise . If the padding was all in the regulation then why was it removed after Lennox Lewis noticed it and pointed it out to Team Fury ? Can you post your source/facts of the extra padding actually being in regulation so I could have a read up on it ? Thanks

    I think Joshua is an excellent fighter, just not a great one. The great ones can pick themselves off the canvas and KO their opponent think Collazo vs Castillo

    YES they was. Can you post me a source/facts where ANYONE say they were illegal.
    There was a lot of talk back in the day about this, and they were 500% within the regulation.
    They remove it, because Fury refused to fight otherwise at the last moment.
    But that ring b.c. excuse for me is the same as Wilder b.c. gloves excuse.

    As far as Fury mentioning, that guy N17 starting the whole b.c. My point on Fury and Wilder was completely different. Again if people want to talk about how great Fury is, you can always make a thread about it.
    But let first see if he shows up for the Wilder rematch.

    He's talented, but mentally weak. I don't think he deserves any special credit for surviving 12 rounds against a much smaller fighter. He needed to make that fight ugly and impose his size and he had no clue how to do it

    If Wilder loses to Fury again, he'd be ecstatic to get a Joshua payday. The notion that he's afraid of Joshua is so silly: He's about to fight a clearly superior fighter to Joshua for the third time, who is No. 1 in the division and an especially poor matchup for Deontay.

    From Joshua's POV, he can fight to regain his titles without taking any risk in the interim. I don't blame him for that. Just wish he'd let the boring unification happen and fight the winner, provided he can get past Wilder.

    about what? Fury getting ktfo?? I reaally want him to beat wilder ,but it’s crazy to call someone an ATG or one of the best ever when in reality he never made a single title defense , was caught juicing and ran from the rematch with 40yo wlad .
    All he does is talk trash about other fighters .
