Anthony "HYPE" Joshua won't make it outside UK

]Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury and the rest of the heavyweight division hold no fear for Anthony Joshua after he came through torrid preparations to score a brutal knockout victory over Alexander Povetkin.

@Gandalf is 100% that I use Google text-to-speech via the microphone on my phone and it is quite easy for me as he can clearly see since he is a rather an astute teacher of the English language and that means Reading Writing speaking and listening that I am indeed speaking non-stop into the phone and stream together perfectly grammatical sentences without a hesitation or even sometimes any punctuation at all because I don't know how to say the word, or. Or! Or colon or semicolon when I'm speaking into the microphone.

by the way Anthony Joshua really sucks and the way he got rocked in the first round with that left hook that split his nose open shows what a piece of garbage he is

Wow you can speak. You should never talk about Pros in the way you do though. Calling Joshua 'A piece of Garbage' whatever you think of his ability just makes you sound like a bitter loser. He is an overachiever in so many ways and puts his money where his mouth is every time he steps through those ropes. Until you do the same I suggest it might be a good idea to show boxers a bit more respect.

]I respect him as a boxer just as I respect all boxers. I'm just saying he is a horrible boxer but I respect him because he puts his life on the line every time he goes in there just like all boxers. He puts his money where his mouth is too. I'm just saying he really sucks and could be the worst heavyweight champion of all time besides Leon Spinks who I also greatly respect. But we should be allowed to judge the abilities of an athlete objectively. Respect is a different issue.
But come on you have to admit this guy is a fake and a phony with big muscles

You called him "a piece of garbage".

To be honest you come across as more of a fake boxing fan. Nobody puts words in your mouth.

In terms of his boxing skill he is a piece of garbage. But I totally respect him for the fact that he is pursuing what he loves to do and that he is getting into the ring and putting his life on the line. I have total respect for that part. But in terms of his boxing skill he is a piece of garbage

Quite possibly the shittest thread I have ever seen on here. Utter buffoonery.

He's beaten Ring Magazine ranked #1, two Ring Magazine ranked #3's, the current Ring Magazine ranked #5 and the current Ring Magazine ranked #8. 3 of these fighters were unbeaten when he faced them.

After 18 fights, he faced Wladimir Klitschko. Do you know where Wilder was at 18 fights? He beat a guy who got KO'd by Mark De Mori. De Mori is the guy David Haye knocked out in his comeback fight. Fury was fighting Martin Rogan in his 18th fight, the Irish taxi driver. Joseph Parker fought Jason Bergman (who) in his 18th fight. Povetkin fought Lee Nolan (who). In Ortiz's 18th fight, he faced a debutant.

Like I said, utter buffoonery.

Those dark days of British boxing having to pander to American TV are long gone. That was the Warren days. Calzaghe-Lacy sold 8000 tickets (which is nothing now), was non-PPV (ITV) which made Lacy's money from Showtime (American TV) valuable enough for Frank to shit on the British fans.

The game is up if you ever see Matchroom/SKY do a British PPV event on American primetime.

Yeah I remember the MEN was little over half full for JC v Lacy, I think with the recent Fox/Showtime competition Hearn/DAZN are gonna have to get AJ out to the US and they'll have to put him on US Primetime just to compete and remember with Haymons new venture it's gonna be difficult for Hearn to showcase AJ without a clash of fights.
It's already obvious that our yank friends will make it as difficult as possible for Hearn to succeed Stateside.
Hearns got his work cut Big Time.
With the new Haymon deal ready to go I just don't see DAZN pulling in loads of viewers (from scratch) unless they fully pimp the main man in the stable which is Joshua and get him fighting on Primetime US slots.

I think Boxing is evolving now though. Making it big in the US is not the dream it once was. There isn't really a US fighter making it big in the US now Mayweather has gone. There would be no business sense in getting Joshua to fight in the US really. They'd lose UK PPV money due to the time difference.

Over the next few years, the big fights are in the UK. Whyte, Fury (maybe both), Usyk, and then after that you have Joyce, Dubois. There is only Wilder and Miller who you would really consider from the US at this point in time and both would be UK fights.

I don't think the UK has ever had someone who is so comprehensively the A-side before. We've had guys who spent the majority of their careers as the A-side, but then became the B-side in a mega fight, but there isn't a heavy on the planet who can commercially compete with Joshua.

Anthony Joshua has no skills at all he has no speed his hand speed is terrible he is very rigid and a straight up and down fighter he is horrible with his left jab NOT ONLY IS IT A REALLY HORRIBLE LEFT JAB BUT AFTER HE THROWS IT OR SHOULD I SAY PAWS IT LIKE A LITTLE CAT.... the way he brings it back so low and he is so susceptible to overhand rights and left hooks to body. He has to be the biggest joke of all time of any heavyweight champion.

He'll just keep repeating the exact same shit until someone does bite

Just think, if he did know how to fight a bit, he'd be on a 22 kill streak which I'd imagine is pretty impressive in Call of Duty let alone real life.

Disappointed Brock hasn't mentioned that Joshua definitely gets sparked out in every sparring session he takes part it.

I don't know if he gets parked in sparring but he is mediocre at best.

Yeah, but strangely not Seldon, Martin ,Ruiz, Briggs, Liakovich , Hide or Bent apparently, because according to Brock, “ I have never seen such a poor heavyweight champion in my entire life”. And
“after watching the Anthony Joshua vs povetkin fight it is safe to say that almost any heavyweight champion over the past 50 years could whip Anthony Joshua and I am including even Leon Spinks”.
Ain’t that right Brock? :LOLATYOU::rolleyes:

Pretty much, yeah, Lil Tony-Tone just LOOKS like an Adonis but his boxing is mediocre at best. Stiff, rigid, low left hand, susceptible to overhand rights, suspect chin, and kind of boring.... Fought 41 year old Wlad and 39 year old Povetkin, got hurt bad by both,....
