Stop sounding like an ignorant prick. Oscar de la Hoya gave Mexico and Latin America all the promotion they would ever think of. Anthony Joshua was beaten flat out

DREAMZZZ:
yes after that song davido became bigger than wizkid.....

maestroferddi:
Your last line is pure crap...

Greatest boxer of all time aside Ali

Tell me you are joking....Or is it that you started following boxing yesterday?

This overhyped dude called Joshua cannot lay any claim to greatness among elite fighters in the past 30 years let alone the pantheon of the greatest of the sweet science.

Can Joshua hold a candle to the likes of Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, or the Klitscho brothers?

Putting him in the same sentence with the likes of Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, George Foreman, Larry Holmes, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano and other definitive royalty of the sport will amount to grave insult.

You don't beat journeyman in a flat era of the sport and fail at the first hurdle and turn round to stake a claim to immortality...

You don't manage to beat a washed out, senescent W Klitscho and conclude you can now mix it with revolutionary fighters of yore.

Joshua is just an average boxer, mister..

trendsgirl:
The former partnership between AJ and Glo is one that as a Nigerian, I am proud of. Glo supports its own(Nigerians). It's really weird to see Nigerians make snide remarks about the issue. Ali one of the greatest has lost 5 fights and so many others who have bounced back. AJ will and as Nigerians let us support our own!

nagalee:
and don't forget drake came into the picture boom Rihanna and C breezy broke up

LordGuru1:
My brother, if you were him, it would be hard to survive them too. He's a fine boy like no other boxer. So they pester, stalk and swam around him like bees every time and through every means. When Tuface was leaving after a show in my school way back, if you see how girls (including one half-caste that all boys in the Uni worship) fought into his vehicle as if their lives depend on his dhick. He told his body guards to pull out other girls and zoomed off with the half-caste. That day, I realized that all a guy needs is to discover and fulfill his Destiny. Then, girls would chase you!

Everyone talking about heavyweight boxing and muscles is clueless about combat sports. That was in nowhere a weightlifting or bodybuilding show, it was a main event boxing match. It's like you talking about football, 6 packs is just for show and not to score goals in boxing it's for aesthetics and apart from that has no other use. Well WWE has created the impression that muscular athletes are better.

Muscles is very bad in combat sports it sucks up your gas tank and leaves you completely disorganised in the long run. If a muscular athlete meets a well balanced flat athlete, the muscular athlete has two options which are to either finish off the match early or get disgraced later on because of stamina and endurance.

Tyson was muscular and a beast but the first time he lost was when he fought pass the 5th round, Douglas knocked him out on the 7th round. Your WWE muscular Brock Lesnar has always been disgraced at the UFC constantly by an obesed Looking Cain. To be a good fighter a boxer needs an iron chin, stamina ,technique, destroyer psychology and fearful demeanor. Joshua can boast of only technique which is not enough, he lacks the rest because he is more of a boxer who has worked hard to earn everything he has earned. The rest of qualities like iron chin, stamina destroyer psychology and fearful demeanor can't be bought. They come with talent, a boxer is born with it.

Mayweather lacked talent, was also a hard worker but he was a political boxer, he would lose if he fought outside the US. Joshua's promoters and management knew this but Joshua had become the face of the sport, the one who gets all the endorsements and ambassadorship. More than 10 million women in Europe and North America would pay anything to sleep with Joshua, they sexualize his social media pages always making advances, Joshua is a fine boy.

Joshua influenced, like that, became a Class fighter with finesse, a classic British Gentleman adorned with the highest award in United Kingdom at the age of 29. He wouldn't cheat a bit or play the boxing of politics and left his yard in UK to a place were foreign champions are disgraced, the USA. As a hardworker, you are clueless, you need to train differently for each fight. The short notice to fight Ruiz when "big baby" had failed doping test was also a factor . His long term training was for Miller and not Ruiz.

Wilder has talent and doesn't work hard on his technique. The only balanced boxer is the "Gypsy King" Tyson Fury, with a technique that is out of this world, he survived a 12 round hook from Wilder. Not up to 5 people in this world would survive that. He beat Klitchscho in Ukraine and drew with Wilder (though he was cheated) in the US. He has that demeanor and psychology game.

Well, having watched many generations of boxers at ESPN Classic channel, I can say that Joshua may end up as the greatest Boxer of all time, only Mohammed Ali will be compared with him.

People going to town with the Drake curse, have they forgotten he did Closer with wizkid? Or wizkid's career went downhill afterwards?

What Drake curse are ppl talking about?

Freehuman:


I said "may". It depends on how he comes back. His next fight will determine who he will be.

Foreman and Frazier were better than Ali. Foreman with (40-0) at sometime(wilder of our Time) ,see what made people think Ali was the sportsman of the century was his life outside the sport. I have watched their fights again and again, Frazier was smoking, He (Ali) wasn't that complete fighter. After Ali till now, there hasn't been any heavyweight whose had a much better life outside the ring than Joshua. With the aid of the social media of our generation he will be hyped if he gets the belts back, beat Tyson Fury and Wilder and Unify the division.

Seems you started watching Joshua after the Klitscho's match. I've followed the division since Samuel Peter who fought during the era of the Klitchsco brothers. Joshua did beat Dilian Whyte without trying . He is naturally a brawler, but from the Klitshcho's fight, his team got everything wrong. They refined him, turned him to a product (something marketable) and made him try to be a combination of everything (brawler, jabber, technical guy). Check his record before that Klitscho fight it was 95% TKO. He was supposed to be a Wilder with technique or Tyson with height but Hearn changed the whole thing. Joshua is a local fowl being transformed into an Agric fowl. Who laughs when he is getting knocked out?


If he is determined he may be "called" an all time great. He needs to get some things right and Britain will be behind him.

SageMK:
Overconfidence gave him a dose of reality.

But he'll learn from his defeat, rise from the ashes and come back stronger like the true African legend he is.

rawpadgin:
Forget the drake curse

I knew he will become useless the moment he signed with Glo.

Anything Glo touches turns to garbage

AgreatMan:


Stop barking like a rabid dog. Oscar was never a world heavyweight champion. The last time he fought was over a decade ago.

maestroferddi:
I can't make head or tail of what you are talking about...

You are a tyro in boxing history and appreciation of the sport so it will be pointless trying to educate you.

Most of your assertions are plain ridiculous...

Freehuman:


I'm handling a serious project from this night till Tuesday next week. After that we'll argue Boxing "forever" Mr Expert in boxing history. Boxing is a sports, you don't read it and judge based on the hype of the media, you watch it on TV or stadium.

All I said was:
1. Foreman was better than Ali but Ali was called the greatest because of his life outside the ring.

2. Joshua still has a chance to be called one of the all time greats if he comes back and right his wrongs.

3. From the wladimir's fight onwards, Joshua's team tried to change Joshua from the brawler he was to a fighter who should go 12 rounds to in order to please the fans.

4. Money has spoilt all sports including boxing, it is why you rate these heavyweights as below average. Tyson Fury would beat Mike Tyson. You would know that if you watched Tyson.

Mr Boxing Expert, tell me any Heavy Weight Boxer that reached 6'7 feets before this decade. Mike was 5'8 feets and the tallest man he fought was not more than 6'2 and that's the height of Andy Ruiz everyone calls short today. Bro, leave the Media. Find a way and subscribe for ESPN Classic , and watch ringside every evening. It's not on DSTV though, they show every single past boxing fight of the legends. When you are done ,you can call me a novice.
