    "NOT every Mike Tyson performance was an annihilation. Not every Muhammad Ali bout was poetic."

    I disagree. When they were in their absolute prime, all their performances were exactly that.

    Tyson changed trainer and he automatically became nothing compared to who he was.

    Ali refused to serve at war and the US government automatically banned him from boxing in his 100% prime, and many years later when he came back he was a shadow of his prior self.

    Joshua is supposed to be in his prime NOW, yet a 41 y/o Klitschko who looked pathetic vs. Fury, almost KO'd him. I am sure ANY of the two Klitschkos would have easily disposed of him in both their primes.

    Joshua is not a big deal. Wilder or Fury (a healthy one, which now sounds impossible) would toy with him IMHO. He is just s super hyped-up bodybuilder lookalike which should be suspect of PED use, he does not look like a normal boxer, he looks more like a pro bodybuilder who chose boxing because it is way more flashy and lucrative!

      Truth is he's just not that special.

      His best attribute is his size. That's really the only reason he was able to beat parker or any of his other opponents.

        The fight was on par with Mike Tysons 20th fight with Tillis where it was a lack luster 10 rounder UD win . The only difference was a knock down for Tyson but Tillis was not a young power puncher like Parker in Joshuas 21st fight.

        If social media was around then ,you guys would be shedding rivers of tears for such a ATG fighter you lable FAR better than Joshua ? lol

            Very ****** article written by a delusional person. Using the word 'hate'. I just stopped at that point. No one hates AJ. We DO NOT like his hypocrisy, the lies, the pretense, the hype about his perfection in technique, skills, etc. and every excuse made on his behalf because he is an Olympic Gold medalist - something that was gifted to him.

            The performance he put on against Parker was really bad. All I ask is this - if Wilder had fought just like that, what would have been said? It is the repeated hypocrisy and the selective agenda of whom we MUST like and dislike by the media that some of us are opposed to. Luckily, some of us still have minds of our own.

            No one is judging him for his past. That's why it is called the PAST. Who cares? Everyone of us has a past. It is the pretense to create a picture-perfect image that some of us also just don't lie. Be real for once - I know the world loves fakes more than the real ones.
            Man...clear & concise post....no "HATE" involved.
