The Boxing thread

Joshua, boxings Raheem Stirling. More natural ability than his peers weighed down with a right shitty attitude.

I think Joshua's stock went up this evening despite him losing. I'd still like any combination of the following fighters to have a fight.

Fury
Usyk
Joshua
Wilder

I’d like to see these 4 in the ring at the same time,
Last man standing takes all the belts.

So we can't comment on Joshua because he would beat us in a fight?

Joshua fanboys out in force tonight! He got schooled TWICE by the master technician. He was "slightly" better than the first fight...Still completely outclassed.
Talk of him fighting Wilder next...Wilder puts him to sleep within 6 rounds. Or am I allowed say that?

As I've said, it depends on the type of commentary issued out. Joshua is, clearly, not 'shit'.

As I've said in the thread, this fight came too early for him with his switch of trainer. He still has potential, but has to commit and undo the plodding foot planting style he's learned over the last 10 years. He moved his head more than I've ever seen him do before and had a hugely improved gas tank.

His issue is the waiting on pulling the trigger which saps the tank for him. He has to address that.

He has the tools, it's just down to his learning curve now.

That's a critique and fair.

Only if you’re prepared to fight Wilder!
Haha.

Funny how it's always the ones who've never laced the gloves up who always have something to say about professional boxers.

2 elite level Olympic gold medallists. If you can criticise either of these men, make sure you've achieved 1% of what they have in life.

This is an odd take to have on a boxing thread on a football forum populated by City fans.

If only this whole forum was about being a Manchester City fan commenting on being a Manchester City fan on a forum. What a delightful level playing field we'd all be on.

Haha.

Haha love it :)

What a petulant twat Joshua is. Completely classless after being outclassed. it's no wonder he doesn't even have the backing of his countrymen when that's the representation he provides. Guy spent longer on the mic with his rant than he did throwing punches tonight.

He took multiple or even countless hits to the head from an excellent Usyk.

If you did would you be thinking straight?

He’s 32 nearing 33. He isn’t a novice and the two fighters clearly superior will be retiring in the next few years.
