    Not to mention being labelled as good as Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali at the back of these mismatches.

    Sorry to disappoint but the AJ ppv train doesn't come to halt after a loss. That's just another myth the haters love to spout.

    True mate and A dame Smith screaming his pre-rehearsed quotes such as 'Lift off for AJ'
    The PPV train is eating itself from the inside

    But again what can we do about that,we as boxing fans know they are mismatches but the Casuals dont,you cant force them not to buy it,it's the image of AJ which makes them get hooked in,big muscles,pretty face,knockouts,Eddie Hearn is part of that package with his selling skills.Sky Advertising it throughout the past week,we cant do anything about,just stream it.I pay for the fights which i know there's value.So for the last 5 years,i have only paid for Froch Groves 2,Mayweather-Pacquiao,Fell for Joshua-Martin and Joshua-Klitschko.Brook Spence was decent but really Brook a PPV fighter?.I know some of them did not deliver but they had legit reasons and Value to be on PPV

    AJ is making boxing very popular at the minute. He’s a great ambassador and role model for the sport. I don’t believe he’s the best boxer (Fury would box his head off) but he gets people interested in the sport. That’s only a good thing imo.

    Guess you don’t like Bellew then ;)

    Role model what a former drug dealer and Bellew don't rate

    Do people not deserve a chance to learn from their mistakes though, he’s surely proof that we can redeem ourselves.

    I think it’s all media training mate. No doubt about it. I don’t believe he’s really like that for one minute. He’s playing the game nicely though. Clearly an intelligent lad. I don’t begrudge him his success though, and it’s great for British boxing imo.

    And most importantly for AJ it is good for Nigerian Boxing or Sports in General.

    Isn’t that exactly the reason why some would consider him a role model.

    No idea, mate. He’s British isn’t he. He’s gonna have an affinity with his family’s country though understandably.

    That is why he will never be a role mode

    To use a line from the Office:

    If I had a gun with two bullets and I was in a room with Hitler, Bin Laden and Adam Smith, I'd shoot Adam Smith twice.
