Tyson Fury responds to Anthony Joshua's claim he is a "modern day great"

I don’t think there’s room to knock Fury when AJ got found wanting in the chin an heart department, great fighters find away to win or go down fighting, Joshua wanted pulling out, because he couldn’t understand what “walk towards me” all of a sudden means

 

Isn’t getting up 4 times and taking a right hand from Dr Steelhammer showing chin and heart?

 

That was against a 41 yr old wlad, he had no business making it a struggle against an oap. The Ruiz fight showed lack of heart quite clearly. He knew what the ref was saying

 

The ref said himself that AJ didn’t quit and said AJ was confused. That 41 year old Wlad was still a quality fighter. Would have beat everyone else in the division that night except AJ. Also it was Joshua’s 19th fight. 18 fights and fought a hall of famer.

 

Tyson Fury: If I can open my eyes, I can get up and fight.

Anthony Joshua: *On his feet*, not walking forward when ref told him to even after getting 30 seconds extra time

Champion mentality. Levels.

 

Who’s the ref, who cares what one man said, it’s a drop in the ocean compared to the general consensus. He spat his gum shield out ffs, he had his senses, what he really wanted was a chance to recover illegally, bend rules for him

 

AJ title defences: 6
Fury title defences: 0

Champion mentality. Levels.

 

The age of fighters he has fought is unprecedented. Wlad, Pov and Pulev alone are old enough to be his dad.

 

I was going to dismiss this but then I remembered Whyte had a kid at 13 so it does happen.

 

The defences thing always makes me laugh.

Who cares how many puddings you have defeated? It's about facing the best, and only Tyson Fury seems to want to do that - away from home, no less.

The "Joshua beat Klitschko in X bouts" also is a good laugh. Are you saying that beating up an extra 10 knock over jobs at the start of a pro career gives a boxer a considerable advantage, or something? Doshua put down enough of those himself and is continuing to do so. Fury was younger when he defeated Klitschko.

I can't wait to see what funny dance Doshua does next time he gets tagged. I enjoyed his Carlton from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air dance he did when he got tagged by 5'11'', morbidly obese, short notice Mexican in their first bout. He even had the facial expressions spot on.

 

AJ will never live down being stopped by the fill-in fat man, then running from the fat man in the rematch.

Don't even compare it to Fury's Wallin performance. Fury got hit a lot and couldn't land enough because he lost vision in an eye early on and the cut was from a non-concussive lucky punch basically. Even if Wallin had been given the TKO, it would have been via a rare cut event, not by punching Fury to the canvas multiple times and making him quit. And in the rematch Fury wouldn't have been running away, he would have gone for the stoppage ... against a legit 6'3+ conditioned HW, not a fat guy in the wrong weight division.

 

Its funny when people say all AJs best wins are old men.

41 yr old Klit, 39 year old Povetkin, 39 year old Pulev.

The thing that gets missed is the age of everyone elses best wins:

Wilder - 39 (LOL) yr old Ortiz
Fury - 39 yr old Klit.
Whyte - KTFO by 41 year old Povetkin who AJ kod in 7.
Usyk - 37 yr old 9 loss Chisora.

I dont really understand the rhetoric that AJ and ONLY AJ has beaten old fighters. Everyones best win is a fighter above 37.

AJ has also beaten Whyte, Parker, Ruiz these are not as good a win as Fury beating Wilder (twice imo) but cmon Fury is treated as God for his resume but his 3rd best win is Chisora/Hammer.

 

Also people really need to change their opinion on the way Fury is going to so say beat AJ in the mind games.

Anyone who followed HW boxing properly in 2015/16 will remember that AJ is partly the reason why Fury fell out of love with boxing.

Fury and his family, couldnt stand the fact that even though he beat WK in Germany the British fans gave AJ more adulation for the fight with Whyte that happened 2 weeks after.

When he quit boxing Fury and his family were bitter about AJ in every interview, bet against him multiple times, spoke with such venom about how bad AJ was as a boxer.
Thats why now they say oh tyson will do him in 1 round etc when they know AJ is a better fighter than Wilder and that took Fury 7. Fury and his family (and his fans) struggle to be rational towards AJ - that is a sign of an inferiority complex.

So if anyone will live in the others head, it will be AJ in Furys. All AJ has to do is be himself, he doesnt need to shout dosser or dress up as batman, the jealousy towards AJ from TF will eat him up.

Whether this makes any difference in the fight im doubtful, mind games are way overrated in boxing. The best man will win on the night, I just laugh when people paint Fury to be a master of mind games etc when he partly retired due to another boxer gaining more celebrity lol!

 

The UK is Snowflake central, they feel it’s their duty to support a black man through guilt, a gypsy doesn’t get the same breaks as is already proven, nothing gets swept under the carpet with them, whereas Joshua can do no wrong even when he’s been proven a racist

 

Joshua is nothing but a modern day bodybuilder. Phony as they come. I bet old crippled Ronnie Coleman throws him off the weight machine and makes him spit his gum shield out!
