AJ

[Filo]

Time for him to retire I think, proved time and time again he can’t handle the big hitters

[danumdon]

Never learnt how to box and defend himself, if he gets hit first he's toast.

Can't bear the thought of him and Fury finally fighting as per the wishes of the money men. Two over the hill boxers who both need to retire.

Dubois looks like he's technically improved since he got schooled by Usyk, with his new found confidence and temperament it would be good to see them go again.

This Ryiad season, whatever its called is annoying, if we have to listen to the Saudi anthem and cow tow to their people in our own country before a fight just because of their money then we really are finished as a nation.

Advice for any up and coming boxers, stay away from Hearn, the fella is toxic.

This is what getting knocked into next week looks like!

Someones ready for retirement.

But still all the talk this morning on TV and radio is AJ v Fury. The muppets will still buy the tickets, buy the PPV and the promoters and has been fighters will get their millions  boxing now

PS had it on the radio while driving home and it confirmed for me Gallagher has one of the worst singing voices

It was some punch that finishes him , but his legs had gone from round 2 , but when a 20 stone heavy weight hits you like that it's good night

Ive watched the fight several times now & just feel that AJ thought all he had to do was enter the ring & he’d win.
Dubois was young & hungry & wanted it more.
Dont get me started on the saudi arabia anthem before the fight. Shouldnt happen in England.

We've been spoiled with some great heavyweights all in their primes at the same time in recent years. AJ, Fury, Wilder, Whyte kept things interesting for a good few years. It feels like the end of an era for that batch of heavyweights in a way. It says a lot that the current heavyweight champ is someone who isn't what many would consider a natural heavyweight.

A long career in punditry awaits for AJ I think, he's done as a top level attraction now.

Loved Fury's laughing comments post fight "you've just lost me a hundred million" or words to that effect

[TonySoprano]

Let's be honest, joshua doesn't deserve to fight Fury .
He's on the level of chisora now

[danumdon]

AJ always was a manufactured money making venture for the increasingly odious Hearn stable.

I'd imagine they will be praying that Fury does not get completely outclassed against Usyk when they next fight as this now looks like his only avenue for further advancement. I don't see fury winning the rematch.

AJ should just blend quietly into the background, spend his millions and have a happy life punditry and the like are for people with a boxing brain and with something to say, not AJ's strengths.

Think that is harsh on AJ. Never the most technical fighter but in his prime he was a gifted athlete who was great to watch, and had more about him than the slugger he was painted as. The last few years he's been on a slow decline, maybe his head got turned by the celebrity lifestyle a bit as well, but we'll never know. Before 2019 or so he was terrific though.

Gifted athlete, yes. Good to watch, in his prime yes. Good role model for youngsters, debatable, i'd say not.

Think a large proportion of fans lost a lot of love and respect for him after he came out with the disgusting racist tirade after one of his defeats. Talking about boycotting white business like he did was not what was required at that point. Id put a lot of his issues down to his fawning management who should of advised him far better.

[bpoolrover]

is that the same fury who was awful against a ufc fighter and who was out classed in his last fight?

As bad as he was at the weekend i still think theres a big win left in him. I wouldnt put it past him being the underdog & taking the title off someone before he retires.

Screw these clowns anyway, Doncaster lad Jimmy Joe Flint beat Campbell Hatton for the second time this weekend. Go on lad

Trainer Ben Davison not having the best results at the mo is he
