Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua shuts down retirement talk: 'Fine margins can cost you at the top level'

If AJ decides to take a rematch, he will regret it. After all is said and done, he could not take Daniel's punches and Daniel was taking his punches. That is a recipe for disaster. Does not matter what game plan you come up with you still loose. Daniel was hurting AJ with a jab and was landing the right hand at will.

Hof! Your kidding right?
Name one prime elite heavyweight he's beaten.... Oh that's right he avoided them all until a calculated risk against a cruiserweight.
Where's his wins over the Frazier Foremans of this era?
They're all cans & shot past it 38-41 year olds.

Were/ARE there any prime HOF bound HWs AJ avoided ?

This HW era is devoid of any names worth mentioning.
I can't picture historians mentioning these guys 15 years from now.

AJ is the better boxer he just lost the war, Dubois is wide elbows to wide and very green technique but has pop and physically strong. That’s it! These guys couldn’t beat a young small James Toney no way. They just don’t have lots of skill very weak division and Dubois will lose again to the Ukrainian because of talent levels.

These fanboy's don't give up do they.
Dubois was the predator last night, better jab, faster, better footwork walking Aj into traps for 5 rounds, Eye of the tiger.
He didn't give Aj the space or time to box like all the old men & cans Ajs boxed.
Clowns like you "Ajs the better boxer" He never was, he's a carried by Eddie hypejob.

No point skipping the rematch. He’s gonna be the underdog and he can’t really do any worse than this. He had Dubois hurt even with this chaotic wobbling around the ring all night. He can win. Dubois has very poor defence. Just go for it.

It’s not that long ago when having losses was normal for all top fighters. Why are people these days so quick to demand retirement?

Joshua seems the same as ever. Look at the Joe Joyce interview after Dubois-AJ for instance. Joyce has hard time producing speech these days. This was the first real KO for AJ and he hasn’t been through big wars. May as well fight again since there is only so many years left even if he wins.

Anthony Joshua no longer looks like the same fighter. He now looks old, tired and slow. His timing was way off..

One cannot count the amount punches he missed against Daniel Dubois. He just couldn’t find the target until it was too late.

Which is an ominous sign of an aging fighter. Hrgovic performed better against Daniel Dubois than AJ did.

And yet, AJ had DDD in some trouble at the end.
AJ tends to be reckless when he attacks.

Aj landed 1 punch which Dubois ate, steddied himself & countered for the spectacular ko.
Get off your fanboy horse.

Your avoiding the question with a question, your not clever, answer the questions or bore off fanboy cellar dweller.

3 actually
Still
The fact that AJ was there pushing DDD back after all the damage

This is the problem with fight fans
They are fueled by emotions
Can't stand it if the fighter they hate did just a little bit right.
They then proceed to project their emotions onto others

Usyk vs DDD should be next

I need the names of the so called prime HOF bound fighter this piss poor HW era has.
Or are you typing out of your ass ?

BTW, my ''mum'' is dead
Necrophilia is a nono

[alexguiness]

But there was no fine margin last night Anthony...you had your s**t pushed in by a younger, hungrier fighter and folded mentally.

Joshua still believes all the hype people like Hearn create around him, in reality he made a huge fortune off slick marketing, carefully selected opponents and dodging punchers.

Knocking out an MMA fighter and Helenius doesn't make you a HW murderer. His whole career has been hype since the 2012 Olympics, great win over old Klitschko but what else? White? Parker? Povetkkn? No offense but he has never beaten a prime guy, facts.

Enjoy your millions Femi and retire, its boring hearing you chat crap at pressers about what a reprogrammed killer robot you are. You are a big, muscular dude who won the sporting lottery. Well done.
