I will say one thing for Joshua, great role model for the kids, mountain of a man, can't knock him for that 
As for Usyk, for a 16 stone man, incredible level of fitness, those last 3 rounds he just upped the game, looked like he could have done 15 at a breeze

He was until he had his sulk last night and gave that stupid speech for BLM.I lost all respect for him after that,funny how no one took a knee in football for the 87year old killed on his mobility scooter a few days ago by a 40 odd year blackman

Boxing will give people more self discipline and respect for others than any sport I can think of. Joshua was down and out, on his arse, doomed for a life of crime, he got hisself out of it, respect the man for that, it's a pathway for others, same as any sport, a normal kid who has done well for himself, multi millionaire, ideal role model for me, got off his arse and done something with his life!

Broke down in the post fight press conference too, would you belive it, a 17 stone man in tears, that's reality. I condone what he did with the belts, it takes a bigger man to admit he was wrong and he did but I guess that's emotions, passion and life
Wonder what they said when Ali threw the belt off the bridge, or maybe Joshua was just trying to copy him but couldn't find a bridge

Shame he didn't show that passion and anger during the fight.He has got no heart in the ring,look at Edwards this weekend vs Usman.Edwards showed heart,guts and passion and he caused a sensational upset knocking Usman out

Appears so in the ring, Frank Bruno seemed the same, you could say lacking that killer instinct?
Everybody is different, was evident at the end, I think the pressure is too much for him myself sadly

When you are at that level and with that much wealth I don't think money really comes into it? it's the challenge
Your right, he lost to the better man on two occasions but the sad bit, he seemed more bothered about the social media backlash which is pretty ****ing sad that it even comes into it, very sad indeed but that is a sign of the times, the cyber generation

Joshua has a contract with DAZN so is assured of a few fights he cleverly jumped from Sky to DAZN in June with an incredible £100m DAZN deal
but he again got the tactics wrong but did a lot better this time Im not very good at scoring but the only rounds I thought he clearly won was 3 and 9
in the 9th he could of won but the 10th lost it completely

I think if they fought again! He might win
I think he is a scared fighter myself and holds back, he needed to get Usyk in the corner, batter him, elbow him, lay on him and just proper ruff him up, and he did not ffs
