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

[Batman]

I am hardly AJ's biggest fan but for people to be calling him out for having only one win on his record is funny.

AJ has had 21 fights and his standout victory was a life and death fight with a 41 year old

Wilder has had 40 fights and his standout victory was a life and death with a 58 year old

The media machine may have caused AJ to stall in the respect that his fights are carefully manufactured to maximise gain and minimise risk but his last 4 or 5 fights have been a world away from Wilder who recently rematched Stiverne.

I'm hearing that AJ/ Whyte is all but done for April. Probably an agreement in principle at this stage.

Joshua doesnt have to fight outside the UK ever.

Considering the 50Mliiion offer got rejected. Perhaps he'd head to the US for 100million, but it wouldnt be for Wilder if Tyson beats him.

1987 Tyson..... AJ would be ~rocked~ like a fucking sailboat in a typhoon

AJ was not born until 1989 so yes that Tyson would win.

[Memphis]

Brock I have to assume you're joking?

well no I did a very careful analysis I'm not exactly a Howard Cosell or a Bernie Madoff or whoever the heck the British guys are but I know a thing or two about boxing and I watch that highlight reel for about 1 hour today over and over and over and Anthony Joshua has very poor flexibility he is an extremely rigid fighter and extremely upright and rigid fighter only slightly better than Frank Bruno in that regard and he is going to get sparked the minute somebody in there is a little bit more snakey and oily and flexible and unorthodox like it just like a guy like Wilder.

I mean seriously Mike Tyson would spark Anthony Joshua in about 2 rounds

Oh that part. meh, argue the toss over how good he is technically all you like, you appear to know what you're talking about

I was more talking about the party line that Joshua is protected, manufactured and so on. You believe that part?

[smashup]

AJ needs to get back to knocking people the fuck out.
He'll be fucking angry now he's just had his personalised £150k range rover nicked so hope he takes it out on Povetkins head 😁

@Memphis he was really pampered and his record was really padded for the first 15 fights. Not to say that doesn't happen with a lot of them but it certainly happened in his case.. also in his last outing it was rather lackluster. he's starting to look like Michael Grant or Frank Bruno. Of course he's manufactured.

Memphis face it the United Kingdom is looking for another black Superstar HW CHAMP like Lennox Lewis and they're putting all their eggs in the basket of Anthony Joshua

He's pampered alright, anyone with his credentials and marketability would be wouldn't they?

I think anyone questioning Joshua's record is either mental or has certain obligations. Check any organisations rankings and I'll bet Joshua has beaten more of the top ten than anyone else. Even that organisations current champion

Some of those eggs are already making their way into the basket of the undisputed king of sparring Daniel Dubois. You won't have to go far to find someone who thinks he beats Joshua right now.

Poppycock. he has stopped 20 out of 21 heavyweights put in front of him. He didn't start boxing until he was 18, seven years ago he was serving a community order, the next year he won a gold medal at the Olympics the next year he turned pro. In his 19th pro fight he faced Wlad. Wilder took 32 fights before he fought Stiverne in his 33rd for comparison. 10 years Wilder has been fighting as a pro and who has he faced? Joshua is only 5 years in. He is an easy sell that does not make it Hype. Who exactly has he ducked?

Opponents won't grow an iron chin when Joshua fights out of the UK.

Poppycock & Iron Chins
Eggs in Duboise Basket.....

Frank Bruno 2.0

Sparky-Spark for Tony Joshua

[Spicoli]

I just can't get around the stark contrast in where he and Wilder are/were in 21,22 fights. AJ unifying titles against top 5 heavies and Wilder was hearing boos after ko'ing a guy who was inactive for years and last fought at Lt hvy. He's really already made it in the U.S as its the only thing Wilder and fans talk about. He does need a mean streak though.

[brocktonblockbust]

Deontay Wilder is far more psychologically strong than Tony Joshua. Wilder has already gotten into the head of Tony Joshua. Tony Joshua is freaked out just by the very thought of fighting Wilder. WILDER is an unhinged lunatic kind of like Tyson Fury. You can't beat people like that

[Primo Carnera]

i can’t believe so many people are chewing on this ! Joshua isn’t anything special.........but in this era he is! He’s no.1 by a mile and yes Prime Iron Mike would get him out of there in 2, Joshua would probably agree with that.
But when it gets really hilarious is when you say how Britain are looking for another “great Black hope.”
Tell you what, put the 5 best Brit HW’s in against the 5 best US HW’s and see who comes out on top.
Now who’s searching for another hero? And I’m not even fucking British!

[brocktonblockbust]

If you want me to talk about the United States I can do that too but this thread is about Anthony Joshua and the UK

not only is the United States looking for its next great black hope but also its next Great White Hope

[brocktonblockbust]

Imagine Riddick Big Daddy Bowe versus Tony Joshua

bwaaaaHAHAHA
