Is the heavyweight division serious? 07:27 - Jun 1 with 7688 viewsdickythorpe

The "mush" Joshua is fighting tonight is some kind of competition winner surely?
What a fat, useless disgrace he looks.

No interest anymore at this weight.

Why would they fix Joshua to lose and f*ck up (or at least delay) the big money bouts with Wilder and Fury?


Assuming it was fixed, which I doubt, presumably the narrative would be the next few fights get built around Joshua redeming himself, put pressure on Wilder to accept a fight due to Joshua being vulnerable etc.

Yeah it’s nonsensical shouting “fix”. It makes no sense. Joshua f*cked up. All this does is add another fight to the unification schedule.

Perhaps he stood to earn more by losing. Jockeys/tennis players have done it and it's been around in boxing forever.

Well yeah. Next fight was due to be Usyk I believe, his style would be a more difficult matchup for AJ than Ruiz was, so...

WIlder might be flapping his gums, but he relied upon crazy decisions to rescue him against Ortiz and Fury.

If I had the physique of Joshua I'd be embarrassed to have been beaten by "Joey potatoes".

Step back from the AJ hype, it's absolute ridiculous they would fix it. You pride yourself on being underfeated as a boxer.

AJ is a product of a typical UK promotor trying to milk him before he meets his match. Decent promoters know the limitions of their fighters and will try to maximise their top line.

AJ/Klitchko fight revealed who he really is as a fighter. He has a glass chin and I've never seen a fighter's stamina just disappear in middle rounds. For me he doesn't have that fighter's courage and his body building muscles is not doing him any favours. The lactic acid will eat them muscles up when he comes under pressure.

He will be retired within two years counting his pennies.

Like most bodybuilders they have no cardio conditioning and the big muscles are extra weight.Saying that, the fat Mexican didn't look in tip top shape either.

Love the way the physical build can be totally deceptive and surprise us all. Larry Holmes taking flak for his skinny legs, yep the legs may be a force-multiplier for punching power but Larry still had 44 knockout wins.

Then there was Frank Bruno v Tim Witherspoon, a superbly lean, defined, chiseled and muscular Bruno running out of gas against a pudgy and far less fit looking Witherspoon who truly held the stamina card.

Then there was Jonah Lomu who weighed more than many prop forwards but still moved quicker than many a winger.

Then there is ordinary looking (but superhuman) Dennis Rogers who despite being far from 'heavyweight' bends wrenches, horseshoes and spanners in half with his bare hands.

And then there is the overweight guy you tend to find working as a labourer on a building site... Overweight and of unfit appearance but with physical strength, stamina and natural fitness to push barrow upon barrow of ready mix through a shallow ready mix quagmire in searing summer humidity and midday heat.

The way a person's Physical build can surprise on those rare occasions is remarkable.

You can add the fat kid James (Olly McBurnie's words not mine) to that list.

I kid you not I watched a BBC Horizon programme about cardiovascular health and it had a guy on it who ran marathon after marathon with his body shape that was the exact resemblance to that of Oliver Hardy.

Obviously he wasn't winning marathons, but he was still achieving decent times and had the resting heart rate, lung performance and blood pressure of a fit person. Things can be deceiving.

Every time he fought someone half decent he lost.

There was no fix. Joshua fought a dumb fight against a fighter who is better than he looks. People looking for excuses and reasons need to understand theyve been brainwashed by the SKY hype machines (just like how the PL is the best league in the world lol) and that AJ just isnt as good as they want you to believe. #bigstiffidiot

Fury is the best HW. But that isnt something that sits comfortably with most for all sorts of reasons, and i understand that.

It's a bloody pantomime, just to mug of the punters who have the vaguest interest in it, again greed and money has all but ruined the sport.
I have very little interest in boxing these days.

Im told thats because Joshua had been floored badly in sparring by Dawejko a few days before (look at his face before the fight - its all marked up) and was likely carrying a concusion. Kinda makes sense tbh
