Johnny Nelson and Simon Jordan on why AJ's career has gone BACKWARDS 😬 | Up Front

[@Rocky-hh3yg]

If AJ was still on sky Jonny would say he’s the best heavyweight on the planet.

[@rickisunak]

His career hasn't gone backwards - he was never going to beat Usyk (Usyk had his sights on AJ after flattening Bellew). He just lost to an incredible fighter, let the man breathe and just fight man. AJ is very good but he's not great, never has been but looks better these days imo.

lol

[@seanlinesteammvg4967]

Behave course it's gone backwards he lost to a middleweight twice that's backwards and losing to Ruiz aswell how's that not backwards 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Purpleh4zex]

Why are people in these replies missing the point? AJ is good, NOT GREAT, not everyone can be the best and AJ is just not that, accept it. He can only go so far and he’s proving that, fair play to him he’s stepped up to every challenge in front of him, but he’s proven that he’s not the best, simple as

[@carlshaw5525]

That crazy whistle sound when Simon Jordan says Anthony Joshua 15 seconds in.......blew my head off 😂😂😂

[@BushmasterH]

AJ: how would you fight a southpaw? Me: I'm the just the janitor here

[@AlsArachnids]

Love how Johnny is like this about AJ now, He says he has said this since the 2nd Usyk fight? Is that a coincidence that is when AJ left Johnny's beloved sky? It's weird when Fury went to his new trainer everyone said it was great and no one said he was finished when fighting Whyte and Chisora? But AJ has done the same and is finished? all because he fought Franklin and Helenius? Does AJ beat Wilder or Fury.. No idea, but do I still want to watch it hell yeah! interviews like this will not help it though as Fury will watch this and in his deluded world he will then ask for 90% of the purse 😂

[@NUFC2412]

All boxers change after a defeat. AJ living in Johnny's head rent free.

[@mohammedsheikh7440]

They keep saying 33...he's 34!

Johnny “Bellew is technically better then Usyk” Nelson Johnny “Brook will beat GGG” Nelson Jonny “wrong take” Nelson

[@user-fk8mm2qt7d]

AJ didn't change because of Klits...it was Ruiz. He's been cautious ever since he got knocked down 4 times

[@siralexferguson4640]

Usyk going to slap up Fury worse then he did AJ.

None of these heavyweights are amazing and would have struggled against those we deem as history's best. AJ is a product of the now. As a pundit - Nelson is more wrong than he's right so with respect....

I have no time for AJ whatsoever, his behaviour in the ring after losing to Usyk told me everything I needed to know about him - The mask well and truly slipped, nice guy AJ my arse!

[@mikeypc3592]

I'm sure AJ would be gutted to hear you feel that way about him.

[@alexbelotti7649]

You ok hun?

[@noelroche794]

He was only a wrecking machine because because of the level of fighters he was in with. moved up in levels he couldn't cut the mustard, so hearn has taken him back to the lower level and let's be honest he's not looking to good there. As for the second Ruiz fight, andy was twenty and half stone and joshua still ran like a rabbit.

[@ZeeMC_Official]

I actually think he is a much better boxer now. He will be able to beat those in the top 10-20 by with his new more cautious style. However, when he fights top 10, he will be forced to fight!

[@adeolaadeliyi9553]

Come on, Give AJ a.break. He lost to Ruiz, which he remedied and lost twice to argueably the best heavy weight at the moment. He's a top heavy weight but not the best in the division. British Pundits hate the fact that their former Golden boy isnt the best in the division anymore, now all they do is try to belittle the man. He's still a top 4 boxer.

[@Products__]

He’s at best the 4th best. Not hating on the guy but if he wants to fight for titles he won’t win them back, if he wants to fight for the love then fair enough but I think the advice he gets given must be wrong going off his reactions when he loses.

What’s with those two massive water bottles on the table? How thirsty are you expecting to be in an interview?

It was Ruiz who took his soul not Klitschko !

He turned 34 in October 2023.

[@vinniedixon1140]

I'm still laughing at the words AJ spoke when he said he was going to become boxings first billionaire ROTFPMSLMFAO

[@cyfar2768]

He might not be a billionaire yet but he’s worth 100’s of millions while you’re worth nothing. The fact you’re laughing at a wealthy man not reaching an even more wealthy status is the real joke 😂😂😂. Also there is no reason why AJ cannot still become a billionaire through businesses etc. Music only did not make JayZ a billionaire.

[@michaelatkinson1378]

I can’t take Johnny Nelson seriously, he wears his kid clothes and is jealous of AJ

[@liamroskell8055]

This is coming from the guy who went back to fighting 4 rounders after getting beat on the World Stage. Give it away Johnny, we all know your opinion would be different if Joshua was still fighting on Sky.

[@MaverickLee11]

Imagine being punished for being human and having an opinion.

[@MaverickLee11]

Is AJ really a two-time champion, when Fury never lost the real titles and recognition inside of the ring, all along and to this day? AJ had paper titles that were gifted to him after some dorks decided to 'strip' them from Fury from outside of the ring.. true or false?

[@asdadfafafafffallslsldd8068]

Fighters are only wrecking machines against tomato cans. They all get humbled and make adjustments as soon as they're fighting someone that can ride their best shots and outlast them. Mike Tyson, Tua, Briggs, Klitschko, AJ, Fury, Wilder etc. they all got humbled in the ring and realized they have to adjust their style. AJ is obviously better now than he was when he fought Klitschko. Fury is much better now than he was when he fought Cunningham. Wilder is much better now than when he fought Stiverne... At least if we put youth and athleticism aside.

[@monkeyjim9398]

Leave AJ alone, he is still learning so give him a break ..

[@fantasyboxing71]

AJ is the best in the division, no doubt about it, hes a 6ft7 super Champion who moves quicker than a bantamweight and hits like a truck

[@CJ-kq8je]

Simon right, the decline started after the Klitschko fight..

[@Jj-ty7qh]

Simon is the typical person capable of talking nonsense and sense in the same paragraph. AJ after Klitchko was the best AJ. The problems for AJ started after Ruiz because Ruiz put doubt in his mind. However, his biggest mistake was not moving to the USA when he turned pro and set himself in a gym with a good trainer and learn the pro game. I think Roache or Mayweather would have been perfect for him style wise. Right now it’s like he doesn’t know what he is doing and has never learnt the pro game. He is still fighting like an amateur. It’s as if he has come to the realisation that it may be too late to learn and is now just doing it for the biggest bag.

[@mattinterweb]

The reason why AJ is a very good fighter and not a great one is very simple. He has no ring IQ, relies on others to explain to him what to do and even then doesn't have the confidence to do that very thing. His mind isn't as strong as a Fury, Usyk or Wilder's.

[@terryomara9403]

Its about branding matchroom

Just because it’s aj just say he’s at the end of hes career

[@mcminn94]

Love johnny but this opinion would have been different if aj stayed with sky

[@pauloconnor5101]

It is purely a consequence of getting hurt and knowing the limits of his chin. He is gunshy. He is not the first and won't be the last.

[@leeturton9254]

When you listen to these people talk about joshua you wonder how he was even a boxer...I've heard it all..novice gun shy mentality weak stiff...lol...for all those flaws he hasn't done to bad ..but if those flaws are true how's he even fighting?😂...he should never even be a boxer for a start

[@travis3430]

Hes gone from seek & destroy to very wary of being hit. You cant swim without getting wet

[@Bobbynutty]

Used to pay to to watch AJ but after about 6 or 7 fights I thought sod this load of crap

[@mrsugar2352]

Simon is that far up his own backside he doesn’t even see how simply daft he sounds. AJ’s demise was when fought Klit? Like what planet are u on. That’s literally “lift off for aj” yet it’s his demise. Come on now fellas. If AJ was still with Sky we all know what Nelson would be singing

[@Tricky181]

AJ has a problem with weed

[@ifidontknownooneknows]

Nelson never been honest just saying this now because Joshua is not on sky. He made him out to be the best ever when we could see he wasn't. 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩
