Look at the difference in fluidity, movement and stiffness between Martin and AJ

He didn't win a Gold medal it was gifted to him.

 

I'm never one to be hyperbolic.

 

That what I meant, as in stolen and handed to him on a silver platter by biased as hell home cooking judges.

Personally I think he hasn't improved one bit since turning pro, its just that the amateurs he faced were levels above to car salesmen that he's faced as a pro, and they make him look better than he actually is. The real Joshua is the guy who struggled as an am, not the pre-manufactured hypejob that Hearn has constructed for the British fans to salivate over. Dychko, Savon, Cammarelle, Medzhidov and Zhilei all would do a number on his 15 opponents as well.

 

Like you told Lep.....take a risk Drenlou, leave these b****es in our wake, you'll move ahead with me, if Martin wins, and I fully believe he will. Fortune favors the brave.

 

But what if Timmeh and AJ lose.:think

 

Like you said on Rummy's thread, even if Tim wins, will he win, it might **** up a Canelo-Pac PPV.

 

I thought Dyckho beat him as well, but I think people don't argue that one as much because the last round Ivan didn't look too hot, although I thought he did enough in the first two to take it.

The hype is ridiculous, and a lot of it comes from casual fans who don't even know what the flaws we mention are, because they don't know enough about the sport to even be aware of things like footwork and defense and frequent lack of a jab etc. They see a KO artist and they're sold, and they don't even realize he's KOing losers.

And some of it is probably from the Fury haters as well, while I'm not a huge Fury fan no one can deny his recent improvement skillwise. The Brits should try to be a little more willing to embrace the big oaf at this point.
