    What is it about Fury and Wilder thats earnt your respect that Joshua has yet to do? Its ok saying Joshua needs to do this or that but whats he not done that Fury and Wilder have. And dont say they are fighting each other cuz that hasnt happened yet and your already seeing fit to call Joshua a bit of a fraud and bottlejob.

    Tell us what Fury and Wilder have done or have been doing that Joshua hasnt so far in their careers? Tell us that and you have the answer to your own question.

    And to make it clear i already give Joshua 100% respect. Hes not a perfect Boxer, hes beatable but i dont support Boxers just cuz i think they are the best. The only mark i have for Joshua is Eddie Hearn got Joshua around Luis Ortiz but then i dont hold that against them because Joshua was 14 or 15 fight pro and still very green. High risk low reward, there have been so many fighters moved away from threats like that early in their career. Or 35 fights into their career if they are Deontay Wilder who didnt want to go anywhere near Klitchko who is a far bigger threat than Ortiz ever was or ever will be.

    Accept the Wilder fight by giving him a fair share of the split of the purse and PPV and of course agreeing to a rematch and show me he can take that Wilder right hand to the face comfortably.

    He should also now establish himself in the US and tap into a much higher paying market. Get off DAZN and approach Showtime for big deals. He is under selling himself at this point.

    If he gets off the sauce and makes a public apology for the vile **** he said to Chambers in that DM.

    In other words... never.

    What sauce? Is this the steroids that make him bigger? The same people who claim he is on the sauce to bulk him up are saying hes too bulky and its detracting from his game. So the haters could do with him on the PEDS cuz they are claiming its making him worse.

    Or is it just a bit of jealous hate? I think thats your answer there.

    Joshua is always going to have haters online and there's a few reasons

    #1 jealousy of success is very common in the UK, see Lewis Hamilton, Lennox, Andy Murray, Calzaghe, Froch and several others. UK fans love americans who are succesful but not our own, we tend to prefer Frank Bruno "lovable loser" types who "Ave a good go" but come up short.

    #2 racist brits, yes this is a thing, there's a lot of people with hangup about him being black and young white women wanting to take a ride

    #3 americans, always get threatened when a foreigner does well in the sport, k2, Lewis, GGG, pacquiao etc all got the same treatment by the "bomb squad" types

    #4 Eddie Hearns, a lot of people have this obsessive hatred of the man, Joshua guilty by association.


    So yeah, for the rest of his career theres gonna be haters, most of it is irrational and ive learned to try not rise to the bait, it's not possible to have a rational discussion with these people so don't even try.

    I already respect him, and currently rate him #1 in the division. That said, if Fury beats Wilder, Fury becomes the #1 in the division. If Wilder beats Fury, AJ and Wilder are basically in a tie, though I'd probably give AJ the slight edge.

    So he'd need to beat the winner to clearly regain #1. Then, to go further to reach top 10 ATG level, he should beat the loser as well, beat Usyk, and finish cleaning out the division.

    I am simply staggered by the 'Joshua's team hasn't been willing to negotiate with Team Wilder' comments.....


    "We don't have to meet.....
    Accept the offer without a contract.....
    We're not fighting in April.....
    We're doing our own thing.....
    We are refusing to negotiate.....
    We don't care about Joshua"


    All of the above have come out of Finkle's mouth over the past 12-18 months.


    Only one side is constantly trying to negotiate with the other side, and it isn't Team Wilder.

    Wtf does that even mean?


    In any country around the world you will find 'Young Women' willing to do all sorts with anyone, regardless of your colour/age/body type/dick size.....If you got something to offer.

    Not only that, no dick is bigger than my forearm.....And if a chick wants to ride that, she's not riding anything else.

    He needs to keep doing what he is doing; make defenses of his title, beat Wilder/Fury winner and then continue. I mean, I have as much respect for him as I do most all boxers, but morst respect/accolades are given when a fighter is nearing, or at, the tail end of their careers. Joshua probably isn't 50% through his just yet.

    Tbh I can't think of any posters from the top of my head that don't already have massive respect for Joshua.

    He seems to have managed to avoid getting any haters, from this site atleast. There be might be one or two, but none of the prominent posters anyways.

    Respecting someone and liking someone two different things. 100% respect him. Basically only three or four guys left for him to beat.
