BluntBoy:Well, the Klitschko brothers were very good. Very exceptional but you must admit (except you are just a boxing casual) that HEAVYWEIGHT boxing dipped during their era... No standout star that could touch them. But look back before then, when the likes of Lennox Lewis, Evander Hollyfield, Bowes, etc.. do you know that Lewis actually destroyed the better of the Klitschko's (Vitali) was the UNDISPUTED champion (I hope you know what the means). Lewis couldn't get any viable challenger, he retired as the undisputed champion, that when the Klitschko brothers resurfaced, when Lewis retired after beating them and there was no competition. However, today, HW boxing is back, this is the happiness amongst boxing affectionadoes, it's not still at the level of the mid 80s to the late 90 after all these great boxers were old and in decline, but there are many exciting talents now and the future is even more mouth watering, especially the British boxers. |

Eke40seven:Lewis didn't destroy klitchko, we suffered an eye cut and won on stats before the head butt. |

Eke40seven: I am not just an ardent lover of boxing but someone who has boxed before, albeit as an amateur. My father is also a boxing lover. We love the sport very much. With that said, we must understand that boxing (like every sport) appears to lose quality over time in the sense that the boxers of the 80s seemed better than the boxers of this time. There was a time when the heavyweight category had fearless fighters like Ali, Foreman Frazier and then the young Tyson came along and then my favorite boxer of all time, Lennox Lewis. Can you compare today's fighters to any of those fighters I listed earlier? So, we should not begrudge the Klischko brothers' their hard work. They were very good boxers and would still have survived if they came in the days of Tyson or earlier. They would only have needed to train harder to match the top contenders of those days. It is not like Ali boxed harder than them or that Ali was more defensive. Vitali burst into the boxing scene when he fought Lennox Lewis and I remember very vividly how Vitali boxed. Lewis won only because he had managed to cut Vitali in the eye. People clamored for a rematch because they were sure that Vitali was capable of beating Lewis. The rematch never happened because Lewis retired and till today, people still think that it was Vitali that retired Lewis. 1 Like |

[quote author=chetmann post=71385989][/quote] I see you don't understand, you said blacks are not good in MMA, and I just made you know that 3 of the divisions are held by blacks, you can imagine the tiny black against the whole world. So they are holding down their own.. "blacks falling like a pack of dominoes" doesn't really cut it, anybody can beat anybody. Currently, Conor doesn't have any belts or does he.. MMA as we know it is a recent sports that started in the 90s, so having a greatest of all time in a sports that started promotion just 20 years ago is far fetched. Secondly, Tennis is a sports which needs money to be able to play, it's like golf, you have to be rich or at least well to do to get in, except you were granted an opportunity on a platter. Tennis is a middle class sports, and many blacks don't have the opportunity to start early. To be good in Tennis, you must start early, once you are approaching 30, you MIGHT see your decline as the peak she is around early to mid 20s. For you to achieve this, you must start early. It's not a white Vs black thing mostly, it's about opportunities sometimes. See Nigeria for example, we can know how many kids could be great tennis, golf, judo, etc champion because they don't even have an opportunity to see a court until their teenage age. How do you want them to be good. AJ in boxing was just exceptional, he started boxing at 18, and became an Olympic champion a few years later. For most other sports and average person, this isn't possible. |

Is Deontey that is docking Joshua remember? Deontey always come to the media to talk BS about Joshua without accepting to fight him in England where boxing is well known. Joshua is the A side like Floy told Deontey.. he need to accept to fight Joshua like Tyson Fury did..although i know the dude is gonna knock Fury out though.. Nightmareo07: |
Re: Anthony Joshua Vs Alexander Povetkin: Heavyweight Boxing by Eke40seven(m): 8:41am On Sep 21, 2018 |
BluntBoy:I remembered the fight too, but that's HW boxing. Unlike other divisions, one punch can change everything, they have more knockouts than any division. Takam was beating Chisora in every round until that punch landed. If Klitschko had continued, he would definitely had been beaten because of the injury and that's why the referee stopped it and counted it a TKO. I understand the whataboutism of the whole matter but that's it.. but understand that Lewis was already 38 when he was with the belt so his retirement didn't come as a surprise. Also, the Klitschko brothers were already fighting when the great fighters of the late 90s were retiring... Not taking anything away from them though. |

mexxmoney: Wrong... Wilder didn't accept his terms on the purse. In fact, that was the main contention. Wilder wanted a cut of the pay per view in terms of a percentage while Joshua's team offered him a $15 million flat cut based on three premises: 1. Joshua is a bigger name 2. Joshua is bringing more to the table. 3 belts 3. Joshua has a lot more to lose Wilder felt belittled and didn't agree with that term. But here's the point: both of them has a point to prove. Now if you were Joshua, I doubt you wouldn't do same since Wilder is not even a mandatory challenger. |

tbaba1234:Who has Wilder fought? How about AJ's former mandatory in Ortiz? He lost every round before tge stoppage? Did you not see the knock down in the 5th round? Your comment is very biased and misinformed. You're in ur own world |

oshe11:AJ avoided Wilder in the most embarrassing way simple. He turned down 50million dollars too and his promotional team stated on record that they didn't want Wilder Next. AJ's rep took an L when that happened |

Eke40seven:The ref stopped Vitali Klistckho and Lewis fight because Vitali was bleeding heavily due to the devastating punch he received on his lower left-eye, but he was still fighting well and even when the fight was stopped, Vitali was leading on all the 3 scorecards and the fans booed Lewis. Vitali wanted a rematch but Lewis pulled out. 1 Like |

Nightmareo07: You don't train, work as hard as this men to be afraid. Its business, Wilder wants more money because it is a risky fight and doesn't draw a large crowd. Meaning without a championship belt Wilder is nobody. That was why one of his complains was rematch clause, no rematch for him if he lost. Just like Joseph Parker. Again, Joshua is earning over 20 million a fight. He won't be earning 40 million facing his toughest fighter, yet Wilder will be earning 600 percent of his usual pay going by his highest pulse. Its not easy to be risking 75 percent of the belts and yet require to overpay as A side. Mayweather won't do it and never did for Manny Pacquiao. Sooner or later, Wilder will be forced to take the deal by his network if he still wants their backing. He fought just once this year couldn't see anyone worthy to fight because all reasonable fighters want big payday with AJ and not with Wilder that cannot fill 18000 arena. He should just pray Fury fight go through or else na Wembly on April 13. |
