    So by wanting WADA and USADA to test Joshua, you're basically saying if he is on anything you'd prefer him to not get caught? USADA couldn't catch a cold!

    :lol:

    USADA are essentially a Lame Duck entity anyway, much like the sanctioning bodies.

    The hate for Joshua by some is real honestly. The dude aint perfect but dont think hes as fake as some make him to be. We all know he has a darker side but it dont mean hes fake because he doesnt always show it. Most people have darker sides but dont like showing it, dont make you fake. Seems like a decent guy judging by everything ive seen and just because he gets rattled and bothered by comments doesnt mean his good guy act is fake it just means that someones found a way to bother him and get to him.Dont know anything about any racism so if someone can catch me up on that it would be good.

    Guess what, I'm a nice respectful thoughtful person......until I'm disrespected......then my mask slips......and I'm angry. I think pretty much every other "normal" person is the same.

    I generally prefer fighters that do their talking in the ring and get tired by the constant talking of guys like Fury, Wilder, Froch, Broner etc. With that said, it can be fun with a heel at times and it does bring an audience. How much would Broner have pulled purely from his boxing ability if he wasn't as provoking as he is? Those that loved every second of Maidana beating him up still paid to see it.

    But I can't in any sense feel disgusted with someone like AJ, who in most cases is calm and collected, and respectful toward opponents. I can't see why you would as a grown-up.

    It does get kind of annoying. He's always so God damn diplomatic all the time and you feel like everything he says is too thoroughly thought out and pre-planned. Maybe that is just who he is and it't our own faults that make us not believe him, but I doubt it, nobody is a saint.

    But having said that, he no more fake than Fury or Wilder. Fury is who he is, but lets be honest he lies all the time, so much so, you can't really ever trust anything he says. He's somehow garnered the view that he's genuine and down to earth while lying his ass off all the time, the man is an enigma, he lies right to your face again and again but people still think he's the most genuine guy around, lol, it's PR magic and honestly I too have fallen under his spell. Doesn't matter how many times he lies, I still think he's just being genuine, even thought he's being just as deceitful as Joshua's persona.

    Wilder too isn't the weird Bronze Bomber persona he portays himself to be. You see early on his career he's a completely different character and now he has this fake Bomber persona to increase his popularity with US fans who like big characters. Man could be in the WWE with the bombsquad chant, the masks, his weird fashion sense, he must have watched a lot of wrestling to create the caricature he's come up with. He's just as fake as Joshua, but just like with Joshua it's worked for him on his target audience.

    Neither Fury or Wilder are certified racists.

    You seem to have this tendency to deride other fighters in order to justify the folly of your favourites.

    Having a persona to market yourself is entirely different as to hiding undesirable characteristics

    Wilder and fury speak their minds, they never pretended to be perfect humble , nice or bad or the villian all the time. They play their roles accordingly, since this is the entertainment business

    Up until recently Fury presented himself as if he was a fighting man with integrity. This is seperate from his persona. Now through his latest scamming plot he has fatally contradicted this idea that he is honest and a man with integrity who shuns materialism and fights only for legacy.

    Him being a quit down to earth outside the ring, whilst seemingly boisterous and brash inside and within the business, is perfectly normal and acceptable.

    There is nothing wrong with having two different persona's, however there is everything wrong when you pretend to represent good characteristics, but underneath you are a racist scumbag.

    He's a scammer because his whole speil has been about him being a fighting man who answers to no one, has now decided to defer and place all responsibility on who he fights with Bob Arum

    “I’m not a political person. The promoters do what promoters do. … There’s not much I can do about it, is there? … I signed a contract now. Whatever fights they get, they get.”

    Which means he won't be able to fight either Joshua or Wilder unless they agree to sign up and join in with ESPN, which he knows will not ever happen.

    He's scammed the fans out of seeing him be apart of the big fights whilst calling himself the lineal champion.

    ''I'm a fighting man, a fighting man with generations of fighting men before me in my family. That's all we do: we fight.''

    ''I couldn’t care less about the money

    “I don’t really have much use for it, I’m not interested in becoming a millionaire or a billionaire. I’m a boxer not a businessman''

    ''I think it’s such a sad time for heavyweight boxing because you’ve got the so called super champion and golden boy [url]Anthony Joshua[/url] and he’s avoiding Deontay Wilder and will not fight him at any cost''


    :lol:


    And there is no way he will earn anywhere close to 100 million fighting bums.

    Inside the ring Fury is terrible to watch. His only exciting fights have been against James Mcdermott, Klitschkho and Wilder.

    The rest have been stinkers and american's will not put up with watching a fat gun shy spoiler pitter patter and taunt his way through fights for very long.

    I would not say this era the top heavyweights are avoiding one another. In less than two years we have seen Wlad vs Joshua, Joshua vs Parker, Joshua bs Povetkin, Wilder vs Fury. These are the top guys fighting one another.
