Comments Thread For: Larry Holmes: Anthony Joshua Knocks Out a 'Prime' Mike Tyson!

[Fabes88]

Lary Holmes used bitterness, jealousy and envy -- truth? logic? nah.

Larry Holmes is one of the only heavyweights who didn't go broke he hasn't got much to be bitter jealous or envious about. He was definitely talking the truth when he said hardly anyone in America knew who wilder was.

Who mentioned Deontay Wilder in this thread? why cant you guys stop taking shots 'Bombsquad'?

Larry must be on the early stages of Dementia.

At this stage of his career AJ gets knocked out, Tyson would be too fast and powerful.

Saying that I would say AJ hasn't peaked and he has room for improvement so the question might be better answered in 10 years time.

As much as I rate AJ (good and should get better) he would need one hell of a career to change my mind vs a prime Tyson.

I don't know. This one would be to hard to call for me. I wouldn't be surprised either way who won

A prime Tyson will destroy AJ within 3 rounds.

No way Joshua would survive past 3 with prime Tyson.

I give AJ credit after beating Klitschko but lets not pretend he has taken on all styles or is the finished article.

I don't even know is AJ can fight on the inside, or can nullify a come-forward aggressive fighter. Lets see how he does with world level but limited Takam before saying he would beat a prime, elite Tyson.

what people dont understand about Iron-Man Mike Tyson is that he wasnt really what you'd call a tough fighter. He usually steamrolled his opponents. Then when he needed to show heart, grit and courage against live dogs in Hollyfield and Lennox Lewis, he was found wanting.

I grew up 20 minutes away from his hometown in easton pa and he is known for being a very successful businessman, he owns many different businesses and properties office buildings ect. He damn near owns half the town. They even have a giant bronze statue of him. And he's just speaking facts the average person walking down the street had no clue who wilder is. Wilder hasn't fought big enough fights to become a major star like that. On the other hand the average person walking down the street would more than likely know who the easton assassin is

Still salty after all these years, huh, Larry? Lol
