When AJ displayed that he was a champion wasn't up for *ANY* challenge I think a lot of the boxing world lost interest & respect. Outside of Moscow & the UK, not a lot of people care.
Ya but that's all that matters.
This is like saying outside of the usa nobody cares about nfl much. This is true but nfl only need america.
Soccer dont need America
Rugby dont need americs
At this point neither does joshua
There's a legitimate fight this weekend between two top ten Heavyweights and nobody cares. That's how retarded Eddie Hearn is.
America is the greatest country but that doesn't mean sports center around america.
Did you know champions league starts this week. All of Europe and South America do.
Joshua fight will be third or fourth most talked about sporting event in UK behind liverpool man united and Chelsea aresnel games. That's pretty big.
In America people dont give a ****.
But Joshua dont need America
LOL I am wondering that myself. He has the same weird detractors everyone else has. jrazor and a select few other dudes. The rest of the forum argue if he is #1 or #2 P4P, which definitely isn't hate.
Dude hes being hated on
Y'all wanna kill him
The best win of his career is coming back from a 4-0 deficit to Carlos Takam similar to what a past it Dereck Chisora recently did.
He's coming off a fight where he got dropped by David Price, and previously went the distance with two journeymen level fighters.
Reminder:
Luis Ortiz is better, Wilder is better, Fury is better.
Wilder will hurt that man, I can guarantee you that.
Dude you should be on Joshua's nut.
He is the guy that knocked out the Big White Man that boogied African-American fighters for an entire decade.
When was the last relevant African-American to beat a White Heavyweight Champ?
Klitschko is not a monster puncher. Didn’t have one punch KO power. Klitschko’s KOs were typically from an accumulation of punches.
That and him leaning on you all night.
Horrible post.
Klitsccko is one of the biggest hitters in the history of heavyweight boxing.
You really failed to understand?
His point is that some people will run HARD with a topic, then pretend it doesn't matter when their guy is up to bat.
how does that affect his life?
Why did all the UK fans harp on how "old" Ortiz was when Wilder beat him, even though he was younger than the Povetkin facing Joshua? Where were the complaints from the UK fans about Povetkin being old?
And with Klitschko being several years older than both of them when he lost to Joshua, why is that win so highly regarded when Klitschko had already been exposed by Fury years earlier?
What's your point? Joshua AND Wilder would both be knocked out by Prime Lewis. Maybe even on the same night.
We know none of these guys are ATG status but it's fun and a lot more fun now than 5 years ago.
He's more popular than soccer stars. What soccer star has more followers than him on Instagram?
Lol
Every single one.
Soccer is the most popular sport in the World. And its a religion in Europe and the Uk.
World cup is watched by over a billion people.
Theres at least 30 footballers in the premeir league alone more known than Joshua
Instagram dont mean popularity.
Berto??? Jmm those are not his best wins
Manny
Oscar
Hatton
Corrales
Castillo
Canelo
Cotto
Mosley
Hernendez
THEN
Jmm
Maidana
Ortiz
Guerrero
Judah
Berto
Gatti
Manfredy
Even better than lmao
Pathetic. The same people wanting Mayweather to go to 160 were defending Golovkin ducking Ward. :lol1:
Yeh for sure.
Ward and GGG were same weight classes or close enough
Nice comeback to a debate you cannot win.
I know WWF was fake stupid. I'm saying the actual injury risk was 100 times more than boxing. So brother fighting brother in WWF is more risky than in boxing.
Also Bret and Owen Hart fought each other. Those were biologically proven brothers.
No its real and you know it otherwise you wouldnt have asked the question and made the thread bc you also know WWE is as real as it gets ...its even a slogan they used to use.
Stop trolling. I know WWF was fake in terms of storyline and who wins who loses. BUT the danger was real and 10x that of boxing.
You can't seriously tell me a inferno match is safer than Floyd vs Maidana. You can't.
All jokes aside have you heard about that for lack of a better term conspiracy about Kane? They say when he was masked he was some other wrestler (forgot his name) then unmasked he was glen Jacobs. You think its true? Nerd
Yeah but it wouldnt have been as funny lol
Yes. 100% true. Masked Kane was a demon out of Hell. Dude was legit scary for any kid back in the days. He had a aura of surreal monsterness. He also clearly had a speech issue.
Unmasked Kane is the same dude that was fake Kevin Nash when Nash went to WCW. Masked Kane probably retired and Glen took over.
The Undertaker's mother had an affair with Bearer ( Takers manager in the future)and as a result, gave birth to a younger half-brother of The Undertaker, named Kane. (It's important to note that while growing up, Undertaker {and presumably his deceased father} lived the vast majority of his life {entirety of the father's life}
under the belief that Kane was fully related to him and his family; that is, until Bearer unintentionally {kayfabe} revealed to a Raw audience that he was actually Kane's father, this as a result of an affair Bearer had with their mother and thus making Kane and Undertaker half-brothers)
there you go they are HALF brothers thats why they fought and......
The Undertaker committed arson/murder, burning down the family funeral home, in the process, killing his parents and scarring his half-brother's face. Bearer, who survived the fire, hid Kane in a mental asylum during the rest of Kane's youth into adulthood! :firedevil
IF Vitali had burned down a place and scarred Wlad and then hid him in a mental institution than maybe the fight could have taking place?We will never know! :thinking:
That story is 90% fake though. They grew up pretty wealthy and just were freakishly big. They never lived in a funeral freaking home. They are also not half brothers.
The only true part of that story is the fire, which didn't kill taker's parents. It just left Kane crazy into thinking his face was burned, but take still loved him and refuse to fight him initially. Still the fans wanted it so they did it.
Kane is Glenn Jacobs. Undertaker is Mark Calaway. They are not brothers.
I understand the gene pool may be a bit screwy where you're from, and your family tree goes straight up, but come on man.
Now close this sh*t.
Demon Kane wasn't Glenn Jacobs. Where is the proof? Also don't link me some BS article WWE PG era sell out wrote. There is zero proof Kane was Glenn Jacobs. He was masked all the time. Demon Kane was bigger and stronger than Glenn.
He was bigger and stronger? No f*cking way, it's almost like...it's almost as if...someone's physical appearance and abilities...can bloody well change over the years! I thought 1997 Glenn Jacobs would stay like that forever. As if he were immortal or something, constructed by fire.
Mate, my body composition changes from the point I wake up in the morning, to the point where I drop my first load of brown cable. Which pretty much represents what this thread is worth.
If you're exactly the same now as you were 5, 10 and 20 years ago, it's probably because you haven't lifted a damn thing over those two decades to begin with.
LMAO
Dude the only thing that matters is your income increasing........not your damn weight or muscles lmao.
All the muscles in the world isn't going to help if the guy next to you have 5x the money.
Kane GOT SHORTER DURING HIS PRIME DUDE. Stop the smoking.
KANE WENT FROM 6'11 TO 6'8 lmao during his mid to late 30's.
YOU DON'T SHRINK DURING YOUR 30'S OR 40'S OR 50'S.
Is any of this actually true or a created history for background story ? I can't help but feel this is a load of horse shyt.
Taker didn't kill his own parents. That's some WWF made up shyt. God sake, if he did, he will be in jail.
The brother out of ring hate was fake, but that makes it even more impressive that they fought multiple times.
What the... how... why...
Sure they suffer injuries, but their intention is NOT to hurt each other. The intention of boxing is to hurt each other... not many brothers would intentionally wish to do harm to one another so it's not remotely unreasonable that they wouldn't have fought.
Beyond that... the Undertaker and Kane aren't related.
Old Kane was. The ATTITUDE Era Kane was Undertaker's brother. You are thinking of the new PG ERA Pathetic bald head PC Kane. That's another person.
I'm talking about the original freak Kane with the mask and the no voice/than voice box scarred Kane. That was Taker's brother and they fought each other so many times before Old Kane retired and vanished.
Didn't Rey Mysterio also fight Eddie Guerrero who turned out to be Rey's sons' biological father? See, they were related too and still fought.
Yep.
I still find it amusing how people are denying that it's more dangerous for Hardy Boys and the Hart Boys than it is for Klitschkos.
Hardy Boys chair slamming each other is more dangerous than Klitschkos fighting in a controlled environment with refs.
I truly know nothing about wrestling. I used to love It as a kid and punishment used to consist of not being allowed to watch It. Hulk Hogan was the biggest star at the time, but Macho Man Randy Savage was my favorite.
Those guys do take a hell of a beating.
I just wanted to point out that a lot of people act like the Klitschkos CAN NEVER FIGHT because they were brothers and that's some taboo shyt. That's not true, they didn't fight because it was not in their persona. I don't blame them, but hate it when people act like brother hurting brother is some surreal stuff that never happens. It happens throughout history, it happens in business, and it happens in sports entertainment.
Lmao ur dumb bro. I meant the difference in stature. Masked kane was a few inchea taller and jacked. Unmasked was shorter and fat.
Haha glen was fake Nash?
Ya
Glen was fake Nash. Kevin Nash and Scott Hall joined WCW after Eric B offered them a Million each and only working 150 days. WWF Wrestlers had to work 300 days. By work, I don't mean some high income white collar banker sitting in a office work. I mean break your body slam chair on head house show work. That kind of work 300 days is such a big difference body draining wise from 150.
So Kevin and Scott both joined WCW and formed NWO with Hogan. WWF decided to create fake Nash and fake Razer and Glen Jacobs was fake Nash. But fans hated it and Jacobs vanished after that to do backroom management work I think.
Also yes, Demon Kane was clearly several inches taller and jacked up. Glen Jacobs is clearly shorter. I don't know how anybody can deny this.
These type of fantasies are better left to one's self.
Mankind eating like a dozen straight chair shots from the Rock was legit 100 times more dangerous than any situation Floyd or Manny had been in their entire careers.
Just because it's fake doesn't mean it's not extremely dangerous.
Take vs Kane in inferno matches were very risky with lives on the line. Yes, the 'plot' might be fake, but the danger is there. The point is, they were willing to risk seriously killing each other for the fans enjoyment.
Vitali and Wlad would be fighting in a CONTROLLED environment with gloves and freaking refs. Yet they still wont do it.
Take vs Kane % of actual injury in a match = around 5%
Vitali vs Wlad % of actual injury in a match=0.00001%
I haven't said anything about money. What the f*ck are you going on about?
Get at me when you've got some medicals outlining his height. You do have something substantial, right? Anything?
Take a close look at 6'11 Kane and 6'4 Triple H during the Attitude Era
now take a look later at Kane and Triple H in the failed PG Era
AND CHECKMATE.
How he shrink 4 inches bro?
its awesome to see how many of us were entertained by the WWF growing up
those guys were legit badasses
not like the boxing divas of today that are afraid to break a nail...
WWF = Men
Boxing of today = Poosies
I know this is a boxing forum but you got to be living in denial if you ever thought that boxing over the last 30 years got as big as the WWF/WCW during the mid 90's to early 2000's.
Goldberg was on TIME MAGAZINE COVER for God's sake.
THE ROCK became the highest paid ACTOR for God's sake.
Everybody age 13-30 back in 99 knew who Stone Cold was, i will say 90% of these people had no idea who Pernell Whitaker was.
In WWF the best fought the best.
Wrestling is fake FFS. Brothers don't ever fight each other in real life boxing. The Charlo brothers don't fight. The Dirrell brothers don't fight.GTFO with your fake ass wrestling and don't compare it to boxing.
Nobody said wrestling was real, even though Stone Cold and Rock during mid 90's to early 2000's was more popular than your favorite boxer can ever be.
But wrestling injuries ARE real. Owen Hart died, so show some respect to a dead person before rambling on about fake. Or was his death fake too?
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha being succesful and being a thug don't really mix.
I know ur 2006 Cadillac makes u think ur driving a nice car but it's not.
I hate Broner and I'm a successful guy and I am no thug. I laugh at thugs lol. Ur comment was so dumb I know ur not a succesful guy. Showimg 1000$ on IG doesnt make u successful neither.
Having a fake rolex too... Having a toilet chain in ur neck too...
A 2006 Cadillac will not make it to 2017 lol.
It will be broke by 2010.
Must say, @TheNotoriousMMA wearing an obscure CJ Watson jersey is just on a whole other level. For those that don't get why (via Bleacher): pic.twitter.com/U5xCS75B7T— Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) July 23, 2017
"McGregor’s choice of wearing a C.J. Watson jersey has subtext to it: Watson was linked to Mayweather’s domestic abuse case between him and former partner Josie Harris in 2010. From USA Today:
Harris says she awoke with Mayweather screaming and grabbing her hair. She says he'd read affectionate text messages between her and NBA basketball player C.J. Watson, described in her book draft as her "summer love." - https://www.sbnation.com/lookit/2017/7/23/16016404/draymond-green-conor-mcgregor-instagram-cj-watson-jersey-nba
