Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua: I Want To Annihilate Martin Like Mike Tyson

You say that like Joshua's Willie Pep. He's not looked especially elusive in any of his fights. He's big and stiff like Frank Bruno. Hitting him is not a problem, withstanding his power when you get caught in the pocket is. You make it out like Martin is ko king with massive power. That is not how his kos have come.

I actually watched his fights. I have too. His subtle, nonchalant nature IMO is kind of deceiving, but he does seem to be a bit unpredictable.

“In fact, so much so, that I've never seen a man unload in front of another man like this since Mike Tyson.” I'm all for getting insights into the shady behind the scenes of promoters and boxing. But that was a bit too much information there. :ugh:

charles the prince martin will be crowned king this saturday. its only the king of england but i mean meh its a start

Eh, Joshua's looking good, but I think people are putting the cart before the horse. Dude doesn't have the speed or power of an old school Tyson, even though he is a huge guy with an impressive physique. He's just as much like Frank Bruno as he is Tyson. Now, I think like a lot of people that he will eventually be the ruler of the Heavyweight division, but I think right now Vlad, Ortiz, and Povetkin are all better boxers. I'm not 100% sure he's better than Fury or Wilder right now. And there's still Joseph Parker there in New Zealand who's just as promising. He has a better chin than Bruno. You are right though the next fights after these hold a lot of danger for him. Not worried at all about Martin. Technically one of the worst I have seen. He doesn't even use his stance to his advantage properly. His training camp is going to have to be something amazing

Lol Joshua is like 1/10000th of Tyson Joshua would be ko1 by: Tyson Holyfield Bowe Foreman Ali Frazier Shavers Norton Byrd Spinks Holmes Wilder Martin And many more He'd be competitive with the b grade champs like lewis and the klitschkos though Bowe? Martin? Wilder? You put a load of greats up and throw in the current American fighters. They are lacking in skill.

They'll probably say Martin was never very good to begin with, which would be 100% true. Guy's slow, no footwork, no boxing brain, no real skill. Just a big guy with half-decent power (although he's fought no1 of note) and happens to be a southpaw. He basically got handed a paper title on a plate. Joshua winning this fight won't be especially impressive TBH. Martin isn't nearly as good as 2nd/3rd tier HWs from the 90s/early 00s, guys like Golota, Tommy Morrison, Michael Grant. Nothing about him stands out. I think the buildup to this fight will be remembered for AJ completely stepping out from his 'stay humble' BS. Comparing himself to Tyson, talking trash at Fury (when previously he'd been all 'I respect the champ'), predicting an early KO etc. His ego has truly taken off. I have never once said that Joshua is the next reincarnation of Lennox Lewis ....joshua will have his work cut out to be 80% of a Lennx lewis.......but is he good enough to beat the wilders, fury's of this world......100 percent and as I said you will see the emergence of a the best heavyweight in the world......if spilka could make wilder look stupid and cunning bet your life Joshua would embarrass him...don't get me started on fury ......f u want to troll Joshua at least wait for him look poor or get knocked out so you have proof because at the moment he has only gone to the 7th round against a banger who also was undefeated and it was personal .....as I said before Joshua when he is coming at you is a scary thought and if I was any other heavyweight champion I wouldn't want him opposite in the ring

Martin is not a huge puncher. His kos have come against very poor opposition. He has also gone the distance and gone into the later rounds with fighters who have been blasted out by others.

Joshua does have a LITTLE speed on Martin... but I'm curious as to where you get the idea Martin is predictable? Have you watched him in the gym? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I've said it before and will repeat... Martin isn't a pushover. He's way more cerebral than many of you accept he is, he's very solid, huge punch easily as strong as Joshua's, and is unorthodox in his style. This could go either way obviously, but with Joshua being way too musclebound for a boxer, he will tire before Martin, and he does leave himself open way too much. Don't expect this to be an easy fight for either fighter. And especially don't expect a Mike Tyson performance... because Joshua just wants to be him. He isn't.

Cmon guys, just because someone has a world title doesnt make him good especially one that got it by default. AJ KO in 4, but that doesnt mean he AJ is great. He leaves himself too open, stiff and has no head movement and i see Wilder using that to his advantage if they ever fight. That said only Klit, Wilder and Fury would beat him.

Martin definitely hits hard enough to drop AJ whether he can keep him there is another matter .I think a lot of fans are going to be surprised how tough this is going to be, AJ has the power to stop and hurt anyone but I feel so has Martin ....if Martin is still there after the halfway mark things could get very scary for AJ. .I don't think Dillian whyte had enough after six to really mount anything whether it was his shoulder or his stamina who knows but I think this one is serious and looks more than dangerous. If AJ has blown out after trying an early finish who knows?

This weekend will see the emergence of the future best heavyweight in the world...I'm curious what the trolls will have to say when joshua simply overpowers Martin inside 5 rounds :lol1: You think that slow and highly predictable boxer Martin will land on Joshua?

Charles Martin KO1 over glass jawed Anthony Joshua. First clean shot Martin lands is going to stretch Joshua out!

Can't see this fight going over 5 rounds I'm hoping martin shows up for the win. if he sits back Joshua will blast him out

That would be some statement if he won the belt like Mike.
