That means we won't see the Wilder fight for another 10 years then.

Smartest fighter on the planet.

Hmmm...if you were smart you woudnt be boxing for starters!

Iron Mike never ducked anyone so yeah that's pretty smart if AJ just wants to crush cans for big money, i suppose.

Does being smarter also mean not getting busted for PEDS cos it seems only the dummies do that ?

Or until somebody knocks Wilder out cold, whichever comes first.

Tyson ducked Lennox Lewis for years. So what you said isn't actually true.

Well duh. Floyd was a much better fighter than Tyson.

I'm a Floyd fan and I 100% disagree with you.

Tyson's peek-a-boo defense in prime was impeccable. It's HARD to dodge combination punches as long and as frequently as he used to. Then to come back and straight up spark the opponent with one punch? His was a thing of beauty.

I don't think there's anyone that would have called Tyson/Gross, for example, a boring fight.




Floyd's is a different level of brilliance. It's frustrating and embarrassing your opponent, making them all look like B-level fighters in comparison. But take Mayweather/Pacquiao - which while the boring part wasn't Floyd's fault, fact remains.

That had me lolling so hard!

Lewis didn't want a bar of prime Tyson until he was old and busted...

Shades of Mayweather!

Bro....This GIF literally has me dying. The sequence where he leans his back against the ropes....lmao.

Wrong. Lewis would have fought Tyson in ‘92 if he didn’t go to jail. He knew he could do what Buster Douglas had already done. When Tyson came out in ‘95, it’s well documented that Lewis wanted to fight him.
Tyson won the WBC in ‘96, and Lewis was mandatory, but Don King paid him step aside money in order for Tyson to fight Holyfield, because it was seen as the easier fight.
After the eat bite, Tyson came back in ‘98, shot by now, and he avoided fighting Lewis until ‘02, as he knew it was a big pay day but another certain defeat.
There’s a history lesson for you, as you were clearly in need of it.
Lewis would have fought Tyson in ‘96 or any year after that.

When Tyson came out of Prison and won the WBC title with Lennox as mandatory, he *****ed out and went back on a promise to fight Lennox. He ditched the belt rather than take a beating.

And if you're thinking about a Tyson before he went to prison, Lennox didn't even turn pro until 1989. So there was no chance Lennox was going to fight him when he had so little experience.

Anyway, I don't doubt for a second that you weren't watching boxing back then to know what the hell you're talking about. You come across as someone who only started watching boxing because of Josepth Parker. And that's fine, but don't go around trying to claim that you know what you're talking about because you don't.

I officially TOTALLY DISLIKE JOSHUA NOW.

I hated Wilder for his big mouth. But now that I realize that Joshua is a mediocre "admirer" of Mayweather Jr. --this is a ridiculous publicity stunt of course, they surely have some sort of financial deal cooking and Joshua needs to praise Floyd how pathetic is that-- I really, REALLY would like to see Wilder destroy this chump. I mean KO him cold. Of course I'd like to see Fury put the giant guy in shame as well, but I doubt he would KO him.

Boo Joshua stamina-less giant! Wilder will drop you and make you look like the fool you are!
