Comments Thread For: Joshua Tabs Tyson, Ali & Johnson as His Top 3 Best Heavyweights

[apollocreed]

When Joshua knocks Wilder out and outboxes Fury, he will be remembered as top 10 certainly.

Please tell me you're trolling. Joshua will never be near the top 10. He's a stiff tree with poor technical skills who just gets by on his power. If he was around in the 90's he'd just be another contender, let alone the 70's.

Tyson is nowhere near the top 3 best heavyweights. Boxing News just did a 100 Greatest Heavyweights Special and put him at 10, which I thought was being kind. Lewis was number 3, Louis 2 and Ali 1.
I've read both of Tyson's books, he was actually very insecure underneath his bullying exterior. That's why he quickly crumbled when opponents weren't intimidated by him. D'Amato groomed him to intimidate from the age of 12, but really he still thought of himself as a fat kid from Brownsville.

I'm very surprised he didn't include Rid**** Bowe, whose career AJ seems to have patterned his after. Haha!

So with that being said he achieved a lot considering his insecurities. He was game and took on all comers. Give the man his dues

You are a Wilder fan right?? You are just showing off. Not everyone can be as technically sound as Deontay ‘ baby oil’ Wilder

FFS I'm not a Wilder fan and I'm not American. I just think Joshua is deeply average. Wilder does have immense punch power though, but skill wise he's poor.

I give Tyson his dues, of course I do. Just no ****ing way is he the GOAT, or top 3 either.

Fair enough assesment However I would have put Deontay ‘ baby oil’ Wilder over Ali because he fought Ortiz and Fury back to back

AND was going to face Povetkin.
