    I see the AJ haters are out in force today.

    He still beat up Takam - another name better than any others on Wilder's resume.

    With this logic, Joshua is a beast because he sparked Klitschko and Klitschko molested Povetkin... ****ing ******ed Fury fans i tell ya

    One fight where he struggled against a decent fighter does not make Joshua a fraud.

    I wouldn't call losing 2 rounds on all 3 judges scorecards struggling. Fact is people had unrealistic expectations of Joshua going into the fight.

    Much like when Lewis fought Mavrovic. Lewis had just crushed Golota and hammered Briggs people expected Lewis to just brutally KO everyone because he had in his last 2 fights. But Mavrovic proved to have an epic chin, you can't KO everyone. And Lewis barely lost a round but because he didn't KO quickly like expected, he supposedly struggled.

    Joshua is yes a big hitter but Breazeale showed he could be taken some rounds and Takam clearly has a very good chin to go along with some decent defensive skills. Takam has always been a guy that had to be broken down, he doesn't get blown away quickly yet for some reason many were expecting a quick KO.

    The same Povetkin that was rocked multiple times and lost about 4 rounds until he landed a flush shot?

    I'm confused. AJ didn't struggle last night. Where is the myth coming from? Haters desperate to see him lose.

    Roy Jones is an all time great, both are past their primes. He's not a fraud. He's good. But he's not the next Ali, like some people are making him out to be.

    He must be scared of me too, he never mentions my name. Is this Povenkin the guy the one who got beaten up by Klitschko?

    Lol I'd forgotten Povetkin was rocked as many times as he was. Also love how that clip starts at round 4, neglecting Takam's best rounds.

    Having watched that I'm more confident than before Joshua KO's Povetkin, lol.

    I once talked to Eddie Chambers and he told me that Povetkin wasn't that big a puncher. But he was super accurate and exposes every hole in your defense.

    But Povetkin looked natural when he fought Chamber and notably larger more muscular when he fought Takem. Was probably seriously juiced when he fought Takam.

    Thank God Joshua is the model of clean sportsmanship and no one will ever accuse him of doing illegal drugs.
