AJ is a dumb asshole!

[Denilson3.0]

Of course we know you could knock Francis out... of course Tyson Fury is a feather fisted heavyweight champion... you could have carried old Francis a round or two more and not make the "game" be so obvious. Now Francis has no chance of making any more serious money in the sport, something he got that UFC could not give him.

AJ is one asshole. Fucked up Francis's money.. He could have carried Francis. AJ is not a professional as we think he is. He is just a power puncher and why Usyk and Fury and Ruiz would beat him again and again and again.

Blame Fury for Joshua having to "fight 0-1 MMA fighter"

Fury gave Francis clout so AJ has to come in regulate and bring order bk to the HW division.

Don't be all wise AFTER the fight bcoz before the fight the DAZN poll was 57-43 for Ngannou to win.

MMA is a scrappy, erratic, desperate, emotionally charged wild sport. Boxing is a disciplined, refined, strategic war of attrition.

If Boxing is chess then MMA is connect four.

There’s not a fighter alive who would rather win a fight by bending someone’s arm behind their back over a clean knockout and also there’s no fan out there who would see a fight end like that.

Boxing on whole afforded Ngannou the main stage (and took there cut) and just let it play out as the majority expected it would. Ngannou played along and have no doubt that if he had managed to last the 10 or even badly hurt Joshua but lose he would be lifted right back into another big match with Saudi throwing more millions at it. When are some fans going to recognize that is a massive downside too?! Hopefully the trend of gimmick fights near their shelf life. Time for the actual life long pros and adults to take back the house. Sadly though as long as the biggest names and “stars” keep settling on mediocre match ups or not fighting at all then the crossovers and circus tents are likely to remain attempting to capitalize on the void. But it ended just like it had to. Quickly, violently and with zero doubts!

probably full of bots & casuals. no one in the prediction contest picked francis & only one thought it would go the distance

Fury smashes the Rabbit twice, then he smashed aj twice, the last time at Wembley -- about July 2025 and then retires undefeated.

AJ's opponents have gradually got worse since he got beaten twice by Usyk.

This could explain the seemingly improved performances and maybe if he continues this trajectory he will be facing the winner Logan Paul v Mike Tyson.

That is a very realistic view and I am glad to read that because I too felt his opponents had gradually gotten worse since his back-to-back losses
You know they have to eventually make the Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua fight happen because there's just too much money in that and they're probably will be a rematch so they have to let Anthony Joshua win a few really smashing victories in the lead up to that otherwise if he had lost or looked very poor and the last few fights then it would really kind of preclude any kind of a fight with Tyson Fury

I do think the big money is in the Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua fight and so they cannot afford to let that slip away so therefore Tyson Fury must beat the Ukrainian and Anthony Joshua must continue to win so that they can set up the Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua fight by the spring of 2025

Have they got worse? Or has he made them look bad? Ok Ngannou obviously isn’t at that level…………but he floored and beat Fury.
And as for Wallin, he put 50 stitches in World Champion Fury , and that cut was so bad that if it wasn’t a World Title fight , it would’ve been stopped.
So they’re alright when they fight Fury. But shit when they fight AJ.

[Beanz]

Last time I checked Fury hadn't fought Ruiz or Usyk once or am I mistaken? So apparently Joshua is just a power puncher with nothing more than "the one-two punch" and despite the fact that he outboxed Ruiz from the outside and won the rematch he didn't actually because credit for that should go to Fury the master boxer who has not even fought Ruiz or Uysk once. It gets confusing trying to count the own goals when clowns move the goal posts. Brock you insisted Helenius would be too much for Joshua, Ngannou...and countless others would be too much for AJ but when he destroyed them a little birdy got your tongue and now they were shite all along.

Fury's opponents have been pretty terrible on the whole, don't get me wrong this is hardly a golden era for heavyweights but Fury has avoided Povetkin, took 12 rounds to outpoint Kevin Johnson while AJ smashed him in 2 rounds, 9 years ago Joshus knockouts Whyte and it takes Fury 7 years before he fights Whyte. The Klitschko fights demonstrate again the gulf between approach and execution and then look at Wallin as Primo has pointed out.

Don't get me wrong Joshua can be embarrassing with his post-fight stuff and trying too hard to be cool, but I don't get this weird over the top hate of Joshua when Fury has been such a negative for boxing. Fury with his Coke head bullshit, fake English/Irish bullshit, Fake mental health issues in one sentence whilst gaslighting people in the next. doping...ffs the fella is an eejit.

[Big J]

I'll take Joshua's 4 wins in the last year
Over Fury getting knocked down & a "decision" over an a boxer in his pro debut in the same timeframe
