The Anthony Joshua Journey

smudge · Dec 9, 2016

I'm a fan, he's a big strong lad.
However, it's getting to the stage where I can't bear to hear him trot out all the same old cliche's every time.
"It's part of my journey", "I'm writing a legacy" Blah Blah Blah.

More like X-Factor.

I think people are looking forward to Chisora - Whyte more than the latest step in Joshua's Journey.

There has been so much hype around Joshua its easy to forget that this is only his 18th pro fight.

Everything will change with the next fight, Joshua vs Klitschko will be the biggest heavyweight fight for years.

We do like to hype up our own, however I think AJ is looking the real deal. I expect him to dispose of Molina within 3 rounds.

Boxing weigh-ins are full of this bull just to hype up the fights. It wouldn't surprise me if the trash-talking was written in the contracts.

I think a fit and focussed Fury beats Joshua comfortably and Haye would be a real threat.

Can't stand Eddie Hearn and starting to dislike Joshua too. A record so far built on steamrolling bums.

Wilder v aj is the big one

Boxing - a sport that used to be good; now a bit of a joke sport which
nobody really takes seriously, like wrestling.

Pretty much this. It's become a circus with handbags at press conferences when the actual fight offers no more than seen at the presser.

Less talk more action.

Yeah the trash talking helps sell fights but you don't have to buy into it , At the end of the day it all comes down to 2 men in a ring .

Boxing is in great shape and domestically it's a great scene .

Easy for people to moan about it but I find it's mostly people that are not into it that do that .

Boxing is thriving

Suspect that this is a fight we'll never see - Fury in a very dark place.

So I turn on SSN news & the first thing I hear is AJ telling us it's just another step in his journey.
Anyone rip up PPV for that? If so at least you got your money's worth with the undercard!

Exactly this! 11 British world champions, the biggest gate ever seen for a boxing event in the UK for Froch vs Groves 2 at wembley which is soon to be beaten with Joshua vs Klitschko, packed arenas up and down the country and the biggest international names like GGG coming over to the UK to fight, some great fights like Chisora vs Whyte last night.....I can't remember boxing in the UK ever being in such a healthy state. The only thing missing perhaps is that the big fights are no longer on terrestrial TV, but that is the same situation with most sports these days.

Was there ever such a thing as a fit and focussed Fury? If there was, it was a long time ago. Anthony Joshua is, I think, the future of British heavyweight boxing.

StonehamPark · Dec 11, 2016

Can't moan at boxing in it's current state.
So many top British boxers on the scene, including a new, young, unbeaten heavyweight who is already at the top of his game after only 18 fights.
The Middleweight division is also huge.

Moaners moan as they can't watch it for free anymore, or that AJ isn't throwing handbags in the pressers, but then moan when handbags are thrown in the pressers.
Big irk for me is people saying AJ is fighting bums.

Last 3 fights:
Charles Martin (Who held the belt - yes and he ended up being absolute shite, but he still had the belt)
Dominic Breazeale (17 fights, 17 wins, 15 by KO - perfect match for AJ, also on 17, 17 - Also, Breazeale held the WBC Continental Americas heavyweight title)
Eric Molina (was the highest ranked fighter that AJ could actually fight, everyone else was already tied up)

Can't moan now that he's now moved up to the elite level, after only 18 fights.

I think that a fully fit and focussed Fury would possibly last longer than AJ fight last night but not much longer possibly 2 rounds longer.

Joshua is only going to get even better, Fury has had his day.

Joshua is a con man fighting bums , his best opponent Dillian Whyte struggled to beat a past it Chisora who was spanked by Fury when he was in his prime. I'll give you a bit of breaking news , next April sometime on SSN it will be announced Klitchsko is injured and will be retiring and his place against Joshua at Wembley Stadium will be taken by a Latvian roadsweeper ranked 57 by the WBO but who once emptied the bin of Larry Holmes and is the BIGGEST ever threat that Joshua will face.

At least it wont be against Fury who got lucky with a verdict once.

Can you tell me how many times you have seen a full fight with either Fury or Joshua. I seem to recall you mentioned you don't watch a lot of boxing, so I'm perplexed on how certain you are that Joshua wins. How are you forming this opinion?
