Comments Thread For: Joshua on Heaviest Fight Weight: Maybe I'm Starting To Fill Out

A joke

Heavyweight division has been a joke for years. Thank God I got to see the greatest period of heavyweights the 1970,s.
Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Norton, Lyle, Quarry, Shavers, Holmes, Ellis, etc when heavyweights actually knew how to box/fight.

People around here actually think those guys were too small to deal with today's lumbering heavyweights.

My previous post seems the only mentioned, but again.

Takam is his lowest weight since his second fight.

This is quite significant, for the following reason.

Takam was brought in on less than 2 weeks notice, though he'd apparently been in training, in case wat did happen might happen.

His weight is an indicator he's indeed in top shape.

Also, he wasn't on standby by Hearn. He was the next available in the rankings by the IBF.

Joshua is obviously still a big favorite but Takam could be a wildcard worthy of a couple quid.
