Comments Thread For: Joshua Wants To Be More Like Mayweather, Not Mike Tyson

I'm a Floyd fan and I 100% disagree with you. Tyson's peek-a-boo defense in prime was impeccable. It's HARD to dodge combination punches as long and as frequently as he used to. Then to come back and straight up spark the opponent with one punch? His was a thing of beauty. I don't think there's anyone that would have called Tyson/Gross, for example, a boring fight. https://i.imgur.com/F1xAcP7.gif Floyd's is a different level of brilliance. It's frustrating and embarrassing your opponent, making them all look like B-level fighters in comparison. But take Mayweather/Pacquiao - which while the boring part wasn't Floyd's fault, fact remains. https://i.imgur.com/gvUmVNL.gif Oh, no, the boring, depressing tricky and cheating part was all Floyd. He clinched Manny no less than 20 times, referee pretending nothing happened. And in this small snippet you showed, Floyd clearly ate two brutal lefts to the liver and pathetically Floyd shakes his head with a face that evidently reflects pain. When boxers shake their heads like that it ALWAYS means they were hurt.

I officially TOTALLY DISLIKE JOSHUA NOW. I hated Wilder for his big mouth. But now that I realize that Joshua is a mediocre "admirer" of Mayweather Jr. --this is a ridiculous publicity stunt of course, they surely have some sort of financial deal cooking and Joshua needs to praise Floyd how pathetic is that-- I really, REALLY would like to see Wilder destroy this chump. I mean KO him cold. Of course I'd like to see Fury put the giant guy in shame as well, but I doubt he would KO him. Boo Joshua stamina-less giant! Wilder will drop you and make you look like the fool you are!

That had me lolling so hard! Lewis didn't want a bar of prime Tyson until he was old and busted... When Tyson came out of Prison and won the WBC title with Lennox as mandatory, he *****ed out and went back on a promise to fight Lennox. He ditched the belt rather than take a beating. And if you're thinking about a Tyson before he went to prison, Lennox didn't even turn pro until 1989. So there was no chance Lennox was going to fight him when he had so little experience. Anyway, I don't doubt for a second that you weren't watching boxing back then to know what the hell you're talking about. You come across as someone who only started watching boxing because of Josepth Parker. And that's fine, but don't go around trying to claim that you know what you're talking about because you don't.

That had me lolling so hard! Lewis didn't want a bar of prime Tyson until he was old and busted... Wrong. Lewis would have fought Tyson in ‘92 if he didn’t go to jail. He knew he could do what Buster Douglas had already done. When Tyson came out in ‘95, it’s well documented that Lewis wanted to fight him. Tyson won the WBC in ‘96, and Lewis was mandatory, but Don King paid him step aside money in order for Tyson to fight Holyfield, because it was seen as the easier fight. After the eat bite, Tyson came back in ‘98, shot by now, and he avoided fighting Lewis until ‘02, as he knew it was a big pay day but another certain defeat. There’s a history lesson for you, as you were clearly in need of it. Lewis would have fought Tyson in ‘96 or any year after that.

Tyson ducked Lennox Lewis for years. So what you said isn't actually true. That had me lolling so hard! Lewis didn't want a bar of prime Tyson until he was old and busted...

Smartest fighter on the planet. Hmmm...if you were smart you woudnt be boxing for starters! Iron Mike never ducked anyone so yeah that's pretty smart if AJ just wants to crush cans for big money, i suppose. Does being smarter also mean not getting busted for PEDS cos it seems only the dummies do that ? Tyson ducked Lennox Lewis for years. So what you said isn't actually true.

That means we won't see the Wilder fight for another 10 years then. Or until somebody knocks Wilder out cold, whichever comes first.

the underwear sales man is destined to be a running cherry picker like floyd junior never will be a warrior like mike tyson mike tyson would KO the fraud in under 3 rounds If Floyd fought & beat more champions & hall of famers then anyone in history then what does it say about your favorite fighter??

That picture makes it look like Joshua has a giant left arm going round all of them �� Look at his fist. Its like a big rock.

Honestly he shouldn't be talking about how he wants to be like X fighter or Y fighter - he's not really anything like Mayweather OR Tyson. Play to your own strengths, nobody else's.

Well I suppose a woman getting beat is better than a woman being raped

AJ needs Wilder a fraction of what Wilder needs AJ. Would fighting Wilder really pay AJ that much more than Parker or Whyte? Whereas Wilder will earn 10 times his best cheque fighting AJ. I still want to see the fight happen, but think it'll be summer 2019 Financially it can be argued he doesn’t really need him at all if you take wilders demands into consideration but the fight will happen eventually.
