Bro, stfu and quit while you're behind, just like your boy AJ needs to.

The inflated sense of your bloated and worthless opinion has been exposed. It's beyond joke status.

All those warnings to people who need their doubts about AJ checked lest they suffer greatly, blah blah blah...lol

Wherever credibilty you and your hero Joshua have is still breakdancing to a tune only you can hear in a darkened stadium long after the crowd has left.

This constant trying to make boxing fans believe AJ is anything but a $400M underachiever, is getting tired. If Hearn is so desperate to make AJ his sacrificial lamb, let him do some promoting and use his own money to recycle AJ, under the same false pretense that he belongs, which is an absolute scam. Is it fair to conclude that Turki is the victim of a three card monte trick by Hearn, Warren, and Brown? I’m quite sure that’s the case.

The Saudi model is not sustainable if they continue trying to put Humpty Dumpty (AJ, Miller, Ruiz, Wilder), together again. No matter how much Turki, Hearn, Warren, and Brown try to put these broken fighters together again, broken is broken.

Warren, shame on you for allowing Hearn to one up you by allowing the fight to be billed Joshua vs Dubois, agreeing to Dubois ( the IBF champ), to enter the ring first, and be announced first as the reigning champ.

Turki, while your deep pockets are welcomed by fighters, please get someone who’s not looking to be your lap dog to enlighten you about matches the public wants and fights that make sense. Otherwise, MBS needs to get rid or your arrogant arse fast.

Eddy has AJ right where he wants him. AJ is at the point where he's getting used to being KOd. He doesn't fear the darkness like before. Bring em on.

AJ is the heavyweight Amir Khan. Talented boxer, but he could only get so far with a glass jaw.

His speeches now even sound like the **** khan talked!

even die hard AJ'ers are pausing thinking, hhhmm could he, maybe, somehow what a story it would be, feck it im on that bus, with a bit of heart he beats all, they used to call lennox the tinman but now AJ is his mate the lion looking for a heart to sling over his neck and at the very end he will realise fully the truth like the lion did, he wasnt his heart that was the real issue

An AJ comments section should come with a health warning.

I'm just happy all the talk of a rematch clause isn't real.
"Aj has another fight with Riyadh in his contract that may be Dubois". Eddie's words & it's been confirmed.
Aj doesn't deserve another immediate shot with a 6-4 record in his last 10.
He's generational wealthy, he needs to step back dask himsrlf is it worth it.
I belive Hrgovic, Bakolie, Kabayel, Zhang maybe Kabayel all beat Aj on this form.

Joshua is going to get badly hurt if he continues. This is exactly like Wilder. They were both extremely overrated. And neither knows when to quit.

Not an AJ fan myself, but in reply to all of those stating he's finished, why are we ignoring the fact that his fight plan was all wrong ? Hands low, chin high, poor footwork, could not establish the jab, did not take advantage of his reach. The "fine margins" that AJ referred to, such as Dubois' superior speed, may have had an impact, but, obviously, so did the big blunders. That knockdown in the first was avoidable, and paved the way for what followed.

I've seen Davidson saying that they were trying to find the adjustments to help him but it's difficult in the moment.

How about starting by saying "lift your hands up Anthony"?

Dubois was very good but that was atrocious from Joshua.

I've just seen that exchange between Joshua and Davidson in the corner before the 5th round. I'm now convinced that they looked straight past Dubois and thought he'd run straight through him. Even after being battered for 4 rounds they still thought he'd smash straight through him if he went for it.

AJ has always been known for being completely professional in his preparation but that was amateur hour on Saturday.
