Comments Thread For: Mayweather Not Yet Convinced That Joshua Can Carry The Sport

if he was a hoodrat from an american ****** he'd probably say otherwise

You trippin....NO ONE in the heavyweight division is going to carry the sport like Floyd did at LEAST not in the next 20yrs....and he is in the same group as Gervonta Davis and Badou Jack. A.J. only has 1 good win & its against a so-so heavyweight (klitschko). So why you so quick to put A.J. on top of the mountain? Right now Andre Ward is the P4P King.

Same league? Answer me this put either Davis or jack in a 90 thousand seat stadium how many tickets would be sold, like 160?

Josh made more money in his last fight than Davis and jack did in their career combined there is no way they are on the same level don't be an idiot.

Aj isn't top of the mountain I'm not silly but guys barely making 1 mil a fight are not in his league. Davis and jack will probably never be ppv fighters.
Aj sold 1.5 million ppvs. Also this is all in 19 fights.

How is klitchko a so so heavyweight? The man ruled the division for 10 years.

Andre Ward is the p4p king but it takes more than that to really carry the sport after the aj fight I went on a night out. Literally everyone was talking about the fight. Strangers would come to me to talk about it can you honestly say the same thing about Andre Ward?

Carrying the sport is a tall task. Joshua just fought a 41 year old and got gassed and dropped. I think people are jumping the gun with Joshua.

If Crawford or Spence fought Mayweather next and won, would you also not give them credit and say they just fought a 40 year old?

Doubt it.

When it's all said and done, if managed properly, Joshua will make more from the sport than Floyd did.

Even broken clock is right twice a day. I agree that AJ isn't there yet. Nothing wrong with pointing that out when asked by an interviewer for an opinion. Joshua has the potential to be one of the biggest stars in boxing, but he's got to beat Wilder and perhaps get a couple other wins under his belt.

Complete non-story. The heavyweight champion of the world doesn't need the approval of some little ass manlet.

What the hell did I just read? Why was this posted one of the oddest articles haha

Damn dude are you AJs family or something get 9ver it he's not as big or good as you brits think. He also hasn't made more then Davis and Jack that's a lie. 90k brainless idiot who follow him blindly isn't impressive to anyone.

The thing is , Thurman fought Porter and Garcia. Those were his coming out parties. Klitchko was Joshua's coming out party , good fight but I didn't see "carrying the sport" talent in Joshua.
