The Anthony Joshua hype, SKY team

100% agreed, someone with common sense. The negativity of so called hardcore boxing fans is a joke.

 

Nothing wrong at all and there has been plenty of reasonable analysis on the fight. You've picked out one (unverified) quote from one person and presented it as the norm. I don't think that's the case. Regardless, he's entitled to his opinion, if that's what he believes.

 

He never bought the subject up, he was asked and said it would be nice to be the first billionaire boxer?

 

thank you, finally someone isn't being backwards about the whole billionaire quote...and even if he had just come out and said it randomly, who doesn't fantasise about being a billionaire?

 

I missed Spencer saying that

Unbelievable...

 

Declaring your desire to become a billionaire seems to run contrary to staying humble and shows him in a different light. I don't have a problem with his ambitions even if they do come across as a bit greedy I just don't like the false persona we're sold. Be who you are.

 

I think you're reading too much into that. He said it tongue in cheek.

 

Him wanting to become a Billionaire is not something that should be used against him. Whats wrong with wanting to become as wealthy as possible? Pretty sure he shares plenty of his wealth.

What do people expect him to do to prove his staying humble? Buy a watch from Argos, drive a Fiat Punto and holiday in Clacton.

The guy is allowed to enjoy his wealth. That does not mean he isn't humble.

 

Nothing wrong with enjoying what you can have but it's certainly not humble. Anyway I'd rather he stopped pretending to be 'humble' all the time and just did him. If you think the image presented by Matchroom and Sky is the real Joshua then good luck to you but I don't think it is.

 

It's not just that though is it? I mean it wasn't that long ago he was talking proudly about getting into boxing so he could 'dominate' his area. Yeah he was younger then but I find people are who they are they just calm down a bit as they get older and wiser.

Now, I don't have a problem with him being a bit rough - lots of fighters are - I just don't like having this gentleman Joshua nonsense foisted upon me by Eddie Hearn and co.

 

yeah I am getting that feeling a bit. He looks the part but I can see him getting exposed, he looks too bulked up to go a long fight. I could see him getting exposed by Wlad to be honest. he looks great knocking out fringe contenders but how will he look against a well prepared champ is the question, if Wlad has anything left I think the truth will come out. In a weak division you can get away with a lot it seems.

 

I haven't seen anything to suggest otherwise. Foisted upon you? Oh dear, you precious thing - having his persona 'foisted' on you must be very hard. I'm sure if you retreat to your safe space, you'll recover in no time.
