Do those people ever stop and realise how effing stupid this is? They let the people they deride dictate their opinions and who they choose to support or not.
Of course it is stupid, but as I have come to learn through life, most people are stupid. Then I understand it.

I watched it last night.
I thought it was fine. Nothing groundbreaking and I'm surprised nothing more in depth was made given the two years or so time frame, seems like a similar programme could have been made in a couple of weeks.

The BBC doc was 'ok' but far from Pulitzer-winning and AJ came across just fine because he's not the total bell-end some folk think he is...but I still have my original, and yeah somewhat tedious axe to grind on the BBC's head.

I don't want the BBC giving me 'boxer profiles' when as a public broadcaster supposedly with a remit to show all sorts of sport and cater for a wide audience..... you still have not shown us a pro fight for years.

Get over your self-inflicted Audley fiasco (Audley has moved on, you need to as well) and use the money to show a few British/European title fights rather than be a running dog for Sky's output.

Seemed a bit racist to me. Not many white boys in that posse, plus they spoke a strange language obviously used to exclude people over 40.

Yup, there was a token white boy in the entourage called Eddie Hearn.... but you could tell by their body language they didn't like him.... he was only there to make up the numbers.

Wobbling & wibbling from side to feckin side for no reason. That's what annoys me. Other than that, he comes across as your stereotypical black lad off the estate who's done good. The car for his old coach was a nice touch. He's a genuinely nice lad, people just don't get the wibbly wobbly stuff, and the street talk. Maybe it reminds them of 'people they would avoid'? Maybe it's that shite grime scene people don't get.

Joshua is just a nice bloke, period.

A lot of people accuse him of acting & putting on a fake humble persona, but I don't believe you can act that way all the time.

The documentary went exactly as I thought it would, as it was only ever going to be postive.

I love the way that he bought his fight boxing coach a BMW 6 series! :oo

I wish I'd done something nice for Joshua once, because I quite fancy a BMW M6 GranCoupe!!! :lol:

Joshua is a cool guy & it's no surprise people want to hang around him, but you just know those guys will be nowhere to be seen when it goes tits up for him & the change stops rolling in, but then that's always the case with hangers-on.

I think Joshua will always be rich, so that time may never come.
