    Try getting your facts straight, I called an Usyk win. I'm just not an AJ basher and can acknowledge he had some good moments. Don't forget to tighten your belt on the way out...

    I'm not an AJ basher either. But, he got whooped. Fight wasn't close.

    Fair enough. I'd say Usyk is my favourite at heavy too. my point was that it's generally Wilder and Fury fans that have to put Joshua down because their resumes are paper thin. Usyk fans generally don't need to do that because unlike the other two has attempted to fight everyone and done it on the road. You don't have to like Joshua but he's the only other Heavy who's unified and attempt to become undisputed. It's not like he's a bum because he lost to the more skilled Usyk.

    It was 6-2, 5-3 if you want to be overly generous after 8. A draw means you're basically just giving credit to Joshua for existing.

    I really wasn't putting AJ down. I was just giving my perspective on the fight. I never said anything like him being a bum or overrated or anything like that.

    Perhaps I misinterpreted your post. I got the feeling you were trying to say AJ did better than people think.

    Sugar Robert Helenius would have made fAkeJay quit inside 6 rounds or force the towel to be thrown to save the bodybuilder from total annihilation

    Hairy muff..I just feel there's a lot of unreasonable crap given to AJ and half of it is not warranted.
    Mostly from fanboys trying to deflect their own fighters clear weaknesses.

    Yeah that happens with a lot of fighters. I think I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. I hate when fans don't give full credit to a guy that just had a great fight. That's why I responded the way I did. A slight over reaction no doubt.

    Yeah it goes both ways for sure. I usually find the fanboys are usually the haters too like with Floyd and Pac fans back in the day refusing to give credit whilst making out their fighter is the messiah or something. I'm neither so I tend to push back on the extremes on either sides.

    AJ would smash Wilder up, I have no doubt about it.
