Why the hate for Anthony Joshua?

He had a lot more fans before he bottled out of fighting Fury and Wilder, me included. I used to be a huge AJ fan before the greed started. I still am a fan but not to the same level as before

 

Lol good day, have fun on all your different accounts and don’t forget to take your pills

 

Number 3 HW?

1. Joshua
2. ?
3. Fury
4. Wilder

Who do you have at 2?



And Tyson just fought Wilder with pretty much two years of ring rust.

Hurd wants another fight before facing Charlo.


Fury clearly doesn't rate Wilder.

 

I meant top 3, all 3 are leagues ahead of anyone else in the division. I personally would put them 1) Fury, 2) Joshua, 3) Wilder but think they are all close enough that it’s swappable in any order until we have a rematch and a couple of AJ fights.

I think Fury clearly does rate Wilder. He has said so many times both before and after the fight that he considers him to be the no 2 HW. He’s also called him a dosser but that’s what fighters do before fights

Hurd looked terrible tonight, I watched the finishing punch back 9 or 10 times from 3 different angles and I still don’t see how a glove scraping past the lower rib cage caused a KO but maybe the TV didn’t show a shot from the right angle and I missed it. Either way imagine feeding Hurd to Danny Jacobs?

 

Fury/Wilder are bigging each other up because they want better terms against Joshua.....

The problem is, after tonight, Wilder is in a weaker position than before the fight.

 

Unfortunately on this forum you get an instant ban for even mentioning (in a sensible discussion) one big reason why lots of people don’t warm to Joshua.

It’s interesting for Hearn because Fury is beginning to genuinely capture the hearts and minds of the British public. The Brits love an authenticity, especially when it’s from an underdog and the main narrative is a redemption story.

Joshua is just a bit boring and insincere by comparison. Nothing wrong with that really, but it’s just so dull.

 

Why the love.....

 

No doubt, however it’s working because they chose to fight each other and AJ chose to avoid the 2 other best heavies on the planet, hoping to make his job easier by picking up just the leftovers of Fury OR Wilder

Wilders AJ bargaining position may be slightly weaker than before the fight but AJ lost a hell of a lot more bargaining power and fan respect overall than Wilder has lost fighting Fury. If anything Wilders stock (if not AJ fight purse) has risen and I have seen a lot of ex AJ now Wilder fans tonight

 

He's too cheesy. See his shadow boxing on the way into the ring for evidence.

 

What do you want him doing? Eating? Moon walking? Loosening up for a big fight on your way into the ring is better than walking into it looking like a big Crow.

 

He was disrespectful to Parker, didn't talk to him after the fight but we saw him fawning over Wlad and povetkin after beating them! He later said he should have knocked Parker out, he couldn't but tried to make out that he just chose not to. He hardly landed at all on Parker and admitted he was scared of getting knocked out but later tried to con us by saying he could have ko'd him.

 

So Wilder getting booed out of the Arena means his stock has 'risen'?




Wilder is now the man who holds a belt he should not.....
He's now the man who unlike AJ, doesn't have a 100% record.....
He's now the man getting booed out of an arena in his home country.


He's a HW Canelo....Without a rabid fanbase to keep his stock high.


As far as i'm concerned, he's now fallen into the contender bracket.

Needs a couple of wins like Parker/Whyte before he's even mentioned fighting for a title.
