Comments Thread For: Teddy Atlas Feels Anthony Joshua Has Been an 'Overrated Guy"

[champion4ever]

Damn! it looks like Anthony Joshua finds himself right smack in the middle of a shit storm! He's fought more top 10 opponents in the last six years than anyone in the Heavyweight division but now he is overrated?

[champion4ever]

Now we can see why Teddy was fired by both Cus D'Amato and ESPN because he DKSAB.

AJ has the best resume of anybody in the past ten years at Heavyweight.

I think they had his neck at 20 inches. It's funny how the commentators always complemented his physique, saying he was quite a physical specimen and was always in shape. No one was putting down steroid use in those days, Hell, they didn't even mention it.

I remember them saying how hard Holyfield had trained by putting on 15 pounds of muscle between the second and third Bowe fight.

because we all know how possible that is to do naturally

Because he beat 43 year old Wlad? Because Del Boy has also beaten Pulev and Takam

Ahaha you're one of the dumbest mofo's alive. Fury fought an active younger better fighter in klitschko. Furys fight was boring but wlad didn't lay a glove on him. Wlad was retired nearly 3 years and in his 40's when he fought Joshua and stilloutclassed him for most of the fight..a better strategy and he was finished.
Joshua has had a lot handed to him. He lost his first fight at London Olympics and was allowed fight Charles Martin to become would champ. Enough said

You ever think that 42 year old Wlad looked so good against AJ because AJ just isn’t as good a boxer as you guys think? I bet Wlad would make me look foolish if we fought today. That doesn’t mean I got the better version that Fury did.

No I never think that. I'd have thought that obvious. Why ask a ****** question?

[Rodtang]

It was a "career best" because he almost won. He almost got a 27 year old the **** outta there despite being 40+ and off a near 2 year layoff.

Wilders performance against Fury was one of his most impressive too. But from a boxing standpoint it was ****ing awful. He didnt commit to the jab, fought basic as ****, was gassed by the 3rd round and spent most of the fight getting his face caved in. And I like Wilder. He's probably my favourite heavyweight.

The problem with a lot of Joshua fans is that you're man fans, not fans of a guy who boxes. Fury is a twat but his performance against Wlad was an absolute masterclass. Wlad has been KOed plenty but his jab and grab style was fast being seen as the depressing future of boxing. Hes never been systematically dismantled over 12 rounds. Fury showed exactly how you completely dismantle a longstanding champion is his backyard. His fainting in that fight was just gorgeous...but fainting isnt somethign ever understood by a casual or beginner. Ive been kickboxing for years and its atill not something I commit to in fights. For Fury to completely nullify a hall of famer with it is testament to his ability.

Wilders your favourite heavyweight? Lol. We'll just leave it there before you look too foolish lol.

Noted. But does that mean because AJ and Lomachenko lost that they were overrated, or does it point more to the fact that this is boxing and no one is invincible?

They were "overrated" by people like Timothy Bradley and Eddie Hearn. That happens sometimes. Timothy Bradley made it seem like Jeff Horn was the 2nd coming! Teddy Atlas called it like it was and got fired! Timothy Bradley said there had never been as fighter as skilled as Lomachenko...EVER! I guess he never saw Whitaker, Roy Jones, and Mayweather? I guess since he "beat" Pacquiao, Loma was even better than Pacquiao?

Joshua was even more hyped than Lomachenko! At one point, people thought Joshua was more skilled than Fury! Just go back to when Joshua beat Wlad! Bananas! Way more hype than when Fury beat him!

As skilled as Boots Ennis is, he doesn't get that kind of hype, because he doesn't have Arum, De La Hoya, Eddie Hearn, or Mayweather! Boots doesn't get the hype that Tank does, because he's not with Mayweather! Tank is another "overrated" fighter! Haney is undisputed at 135, and half of America has no clue! Now let Tank fight Ryan Garcia, and watch what happens! It will probably outsell Spence vs. Crawford!

Wilders your favourite heavyweight? Lol. We'll just leave it there before you look too foolish lol.

And thats whats makes you an idiot and Roadman summations about you correct. Anyone can enjoy any fighter. What you don't see me doing, unlike your dumbass, is sitting there making out as if Wilder is something that he isn't.
