Still a great guy. Maybe not a type of lunatic that hard core fans get excited about but exactly what normal people are looking for, a man that tries to be decent. If he keeps winning he will be a crossover mega star, get used to it.
He always contradicts himself, because everything he says is just phrases that sound good as soundbytes. I remember someone on here thinks he'll likely turn into a bit of a loosecannon, you can't be media controlled forever. I think I agree. I guess that'll more interesting.

Joshua is the new Tyson and I see a Buster Douglas moment occurring in the next 2 years.

What is all this bullshite retrospective "No one thought I would beat Charles Martin. Everyone thought I would lose and now they say he was rubbish. No one said that at the time." - FCKING HELL!!! Everyone not part of the Sky payroll, not dependant on the promotion or the people in it were saying it was a joke fight. It is all here on this forum, twitter, other forums, social media, everywhere. It drives me mental, Jonny Nelson said the same BS recently.

Then the interview goes on with him saying Wilder is the real champion, says some shite about "factually speaking" Wilder is the real champion as he is the only one who has defended his title. HOW THE FCK does that work then?

Jesus I hate this bollox and I hate the Kuggan sucks their sacks so hard and has such a mouthful of balls that he will not correct him and lets him talk this bs.

I am off to have a lie down then beat up some dwarves to get out my frustration
IFL is little more than a PR conduit.

Hearn is a miracle worker for turning this personality-vacuum into a star...
I think the fact he's smashed every one of his opponents to bits helps.

He must've surrounded himself with haters cos I don't remember any of us here on Boxrec tipping Charles Martin to beat him. Most of us betted on a first round knockout.
He's as exciting outside the ring as a bum-grape.

One can only hope, because he's desperately boring now. My eyes literally glaze over as soon as he starts talking, same with Amir Khan.

Peter Fury started saying it about Wlad and then it became a thing and even other people started saying it about him before it now has almost become an expression to describe the champions who are not complete jokes.

It is like we have levels of champions. The ones who really are a champion are "super champions" and the rest just mere "world champion" as AJ is described despite everyone knowing he isn't.

What next, Super Duper champs?
The WBA does have levels of champions!
Tyson Fury IS the WBA 'super champion' after winning it from Wlad.
The WBA 'Regular' champion is Ruslan Chagaev. So Peter Fury referred to him correctly.

Come on, they were not referring to the ownership of a WBA Super title, they were branding him a super champion in stature. Its just such bullshit, we had no such expressions or need for them until the complete proliferation of titles in recent years

Yes there was a post by Tuan_Jim I think who said Joshua was a steroided up version of Uriah Heep and was due a massive meltdown. I still chuckle at that reference!

I bet he's bursting at the seams to drop this media PR fake personality and be like Tyson and the Hulk (juiced up) and start telling people he will 'fvck you til you love me' and that pundits 'couldn't live one minute in his world, especially the streets of Watford'!
