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

Tyson would beat AJ via KO.


AJ is a little hyped up right now...

I even think Wilder beats AJ.

Haha Larry still mad about Mike kicked his ass.

I'm dead lmao. "Salty" Larry Holmes

Tyson in his prime was the best boxer to EVER lace them up and step in the ring. Fast, elusive, Ko power both hands. I'd take Tyson in his prime over any HW ever, including Ali, foreman and anyone else.

Foreman absolutely destroys Tyson IMO. All subjective though

Holmes says many outlandish things but this really isn't one of them ,besides him thinking Tyson to be no problem for Joshua . It would be a 50 / 50 fight and wouldn't go past 5 trnds bc of the style clash , someone is getting knocked out thats the only guarantee thing about this fight .

The Takam fight will give us just a BIT more how Joshua could approach Tyson so we'll see bc Joshua isnt going to be fighting many shorter guys who can punch aggressively on the inside .

Mike Tyson at his BEST should be in EVERYONES top 5 at least . This is just a fact people ,he was arguably the perfect fighter at a VERY short time span , this is why even at 5'10 you cant write him off not yet anyway bc Joshua is also going to get even better which is scary in itself .

Would the greatest boxing brain ( Cus Damato ) fighter under Rooney defeat the 6'6 240 plus giant ? Well its not far fetched at all but make no mistake it would be Tysons most dangerous fight hes ever been in which would also bring out the best Tyson .

Slight edge : Tyson

SLIGHT

true, All subjective, But a young, hungry, in his prime Tyson was seemed unbeatable. He was relentless and had KO power literally in every punch he threw. I think RJjr and Tyson were the two most skilled fighters to ever box at their prime.

I have to respectfully disagree with Larry Holmes here. If Anthony Joshua had George Foreman type power where any punch can land on you; Hurts you. Then I would have to say yes he's right.

However, Joshua is a not a wrecking machine like George Foreman or a one punch knockout artist for instance like Mike Tyson. Anthony is an accurate puncher, who has to put them together in bunches, in order to score knockout wins. He is a combination puncher.

I just can't see how this current version of Anthony Joshua beats a prime Mike Tyson to the punch. No one ever beats a prime Mike Tyson into submission. It never happened then and it wouldn't have happen now. That only occurred later in his boxing career.

LARRY HOLMES had been talking for almost 20 minutes before he stopped suddenly and asked, "Do you enjoy asking me questions?" This was an audience with Holmes in the caf of the BXR gym in London, which WBA, IBO and IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has a stake in. He seemed surprised that people could hold such an interest in his views but when a heavyweight icon speaks, it is worth listening to.

Joshua is trash and extremely squared up. The fight with Wlad could've gone Wlad's way had he continued, he was outboxing the shiet out of dude. Tyson would outbox him as well and be way faster with his hands and feets!!!
