Jim Lampley - If There's A Muhammad Ali Of This Era, It's Anthony Joshua! [Video]

Agreed. These comparisons are dumb and unfair to the fighter being compared but if it's anyone it would have to be Fury.

Loudmouth confident ****-talker who can back it up in the ring with an unpredictable style, more of a boxer than a power puncher, won the title(s) then lost 3 years of prime fighting years... Mounting a comeback, we'll see how it goes

Somes up my thoughts thanks for the post.

who's talking about Wilder? We're comparing AJ and Ali..

Did AJ not ask for $50m for a fight and then turn the fight down when they offered him it? Doesn't matter if it was Wilder or Joe Bloggs. He still ducked a fight with a rival top HW when they met his demand.

Ali fought the best.

Give him a chance, he is still young hasn't had a huge amount of fights and has cleaned out the division winning all belts apart from one. He has sent a signed contract over for that one too.

You don't want much do you?

aj has a good thing going for himself in the UK but hes not near ALI and hes not controversial enough. why hasn't lampley been labeled a woman beater on this site by the posters tho?

Agreed

Joshua is boxing right now

Everyone wants his name attached to theirs, even if they duck him like wilder, there name gets known by billions for being linked with the biggest star in boxing for a long long time

Probably only because most people don't know/remember

Lampley even mentioned that he probably shouldn't say it before making the analogy between Joshua and Ali. There's no one out there like Ali. That said, Joshua does have the potential to be a great HW champion of this era. We'll just have to wait and see. The kid's essentially just getting started as a champ.
