I’m sure mike Tyson has made 35-40 fights by the time he had this fight.
Joshua made 22? I think. So on the basis of how quickly Joshua has progressed I think AJ is ahead of Mike Tyson. The real fair comparison I went Joshua gets to 35 ish fights himself.
Have you seen Holmes' record post the Tyson fight?
Any way you cut it, Tyson's destruction of Holmes was a good win - and probably better than Joshua's win over Wlad considering the following
Holmes is higher regarded than Wlad
NOBODY had ever man-handled Holmes in the fashion Tyson did
Holmes had a good run post Tyson
Wlad had been KO'ed before
Joshua Wlad was a competitive fight - Tyson Holmes was NOT
have u seen the holmes that fought tyson? he was so out of it, not even 30% of what he used to be. just because holmes had a good run after doesn't change the fact that holmes was ill prepared and complete **** against tyson.
wlad had been knocked out in his prime a couple times by decent fighters. he was old and gave joshua hell. the tyson that fought holmes would have creamed Wlad. neither's resume was great.
Any light Heavyweight you want to name wouldn't have beaten Wlad in his first fight at HW.
That's your opinion. It's a fact that Spinks was better than Sanders, Brewster, and Puritty.
Any light Heavyweight you want to name wouldn't have beaten Wlad in his first fight at HW.
That wasn't Spinks first fight at heavyweight. So you're putting out false information.
I don't recall Wlad losing to light heavyweights. I'm not saying Wlad was greater. But the version Joshua fought is better than the Holmes that fought Tyson.
A HOF light heavyweight far more skilled than Ross Puritty. You have no evidence that the version of Wlad was better.
how is joshua's win over wlad any better then tysons over holmes or spinks?
keep it real larry, holmes was a walking dead man against tyson. there is a difference between not fighting for almost 2 years and being retired. larry was done with the sport, wlad was in hibernation, he is a gym rat so always stays in shape.
the wlad that fought aj beats the sh$t out of homes and spinks. larry was retired for 2 years ffs.
titles don't mean *****. broner is a 3 or 4 division world champ isn't he? who cares.
Broner has never won a lineal championship, nor has he been undisputed.
That's why there is a distinction made in the first place.
The lineal title is a true world championship, not a paper title handed out on political terms by a sanctioning body just trying to make a buck.
the wlad that fought aj beats the sh$t out of homes and spinks. larry was retired for 2 years ffs.
titles don't mean *****. broner is a 3 or 4 division world champ isn't he? who cares.
wlad also was out for almost 2 years
C'mon bruh.
You honestly felt the need to make this thread after deliberately typing the names Michael Spinks and Larry Holmes. **** outta here bro.
I do agree that Joshua's resume is pretty good but you can't compete with Holmes and Spinks. Even if they were both past their best.
the wlad that fought aj beats the sh$t out of homes and spinks. larry was retired for 2 years ffs.
Tyson was undisputed and lineal champion. He won the WBC, WBA, IBF, Ring, and lineal titles (this was before the WBO or IBO).
Joshua never won the lineal title, nor the WBC or the Ring.
End of discussion.
