Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Scores Brutal One-Punch Knockout of Robert Helenius in Seventh

Did Joseph shag your dog and give your missus a bone ?

No, I just had the misfortune of watching several horrible fights he took part in. The Fa fight, the Leapai fight, the Joyce fight, the Joshua fight, the Fury fight. All ugly, boring, sloppy messes.

Helenius sucks but he's orders of magnitude better than Junior Fa. Junior Fa got smoked by freaking 43 year old Lucas Browne last year.

Parker is an enigma. Winning that WBO title early then getting that fat Joshua check (converted to USD about 12-16 million if i remember correctly) made him unmotivated. He struck gold so early in his career I think he has never recaptured that drive. He has never had one punch KO power & he often fought to the level of his opposition. He was is good fights with Whyte, Ruiz, Takam, Chisora & Joyce but really struggled with Fa & Leapai. I think he is better than he gets credit for but that is just my opinion.

He didn't even deserve the win against Ruiz in the first place.

He got screwed by the headbutt against Whyte, but Whyte sucks ass and always has.

Takam, Chisora, and Joyce are journeymen.

That Joyce fight was pretty good. Parker looked decent & landed a lot of clean shots but that lack of power cost him. Joyce walked thru all his punches & overwhelmed him once he was exhausted. The Leapai & Fa fights were tough to watch though…

As a fan of the sport, we should all hope for Fury-Joshua rather than wilder. An all uk heavyweight championship is HUGE for the sport. If you feed AJ to Wilder that will ruin a big fight. We need Fury-Joshua.

They will fight after they lose to Usyk and Wilder. Unless they make it next which Fury might do.

I've been low on Joyce since he turned pro, I knew he ****** long before bum ass Zhang sparked him, and I thought the Parker fight was excruciatingly bad.

Something happens to big island boys when they face off in the ring. Cultural pride won't let the other win so it brings out the best and worst to ensure that.

Here's probably the best example ever...Mark Hunt vs Ray Sefo. Go to 12:45 and see what I mean.

Fa and Leapai saved face and made themselves look good at Parker's expense.

I believe Kronk Parker under Andy Lee is now a different proposition and will give most legit contenders fits. Sure he lost to Big Jugs but he came to party and throwdown.

Having Parker chase down a fighter unwilling to engage doesn't play to Parker's strengths and makes for a dull fight, like his last one and the Hughie Fury one.

There's not many willing to call Parker out cos he's legit top 5!!!

Joshua is as bad as I thought, Helenis was open and backing up all the fight and another 41 year old and it took him 7 rounds ...really ?
Eddie Hearn ... what a clown you really are.

[wileyhemi]

More importantly, give me Chisora/Helenius 2 please, way more interest in that fight than Wilder/Joshua

Many purists still cling to the hope of Wach andTakam finally squaring off before they reach 50

[thack]

So Joshua beats another faded 41 year old and talks bollocks ...yet again...!
