[aboutfkntime]

Anthony Joshua explained why he recently lashed out and called Hall of Famer and former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis "a clown." During a televised special for Sky Sports, Joshua took his verbal swipes at Lewis - who responded back on social media.

I have agreed with every word I heard Lewis say about AJ

because... Lewis simply called out Eddie Hearn on his bullshlt

in saying that, I get where AJ is coming from... perhaps Lewis should have been more supportive of his countryman?

Joshua is another Frank Bruno and like Bruno he is also an Uncle Tom.

I dont think AJ is quite as bad as some say. I mean, other than Fury, Klitschko was probably the best man at the time. Wilder hasn't travelled either, and him and Fury are running the same con right now. I dont think AJ ever really learned hes trade, certainly nothing like Lewis, who fought every in the amateurs round the world and went to two Olympics. I didnt think Joshua really won the gold, it was a 2012 London marketing thing. But someone who fought Whyte coming up, Klitschko, Parker, Povetkin, i wouldn't say hes exactly scared of a challenge either. That's just abit unfair.

Klit and Povetkin were shot though, and I’ve never been sold on Parker (and I was saying that back when he beat Takam, plus I had Ruiz beating him 8-4) Joshua just hasn’t impressed me outside of his Wlad fight. I had him losing twice in the Olympics also.

And not that it matters, but Wilder has fought in America, Mexico, Puerto Rico and England.

The only 'clown' in the situation was Joshua .Lennox as he said was talking as a fan and 'team' Joshua as stated by old man Barry Hearn said 'If Joshua doesn't fight Wilder for the next ten years but keeps on wining then I'll take that' meaning that that most dangerous fight out there at the time for Joshua was in no rush to be made.Like Lewis most knowledgeable fans knew that was the swerve and like most fans saw that the biggest fight out there then was not going to happen anytime soon.We all know why now!

Joshua will NEVER get to the great's status in boxing and I understand his frustrations but he should direct that elsewhere and not at a proven, been there and done it great fighter as Lewis is and was.Joshua has his hands full with a fat little bloke next who didn't beat him with a 'McCall or Rahman one punch KO' but one who took him to bits round after round.

Lennox critical of AJ because he’s been around the sport long enough to know what it is

Because of his popularity and $ he can produce , Matchroom strategy has/ will be to get as many straps / accolades through the path of least resistance, So they’ll jump at the opportunity to grab a strap off A Martin or Parker but will wait for the perfect opportunity to have AJ fight his biggest threats. That’s why AJ hasn’t fought Wilder / Fury / Ortiz & that’s the way to fool the casual public but not the way to achieve True Greatness

Wilder & Fury chose to fight each other because they were 2/3 of the biggest threats in the division , both were willing to put their legacies on the line and fight each other , That’s a sign of true greatness Something AJ/Matchroom have shown they don’t want to do

Lewis didn’t wait for the perfect time to fight his biggest challenges , He just went out and fought them and career wasn’t manufactured , Lennox is rated so high because he didn’t leave room for debate about his accomplishments

Lennox has earned the right To point out the BS games AJ / Matchroom have played with their unwillingness to face AJ biggest Threats,

if AJ feels some sort of way about what Lennox said he should look in the mirror and ask why Lennox has been critical , It has nothing to do with him being mad AJ didn’t sign Lennox or Jealous of AJs popularity in the UK ; It has everything to do with a fighter that went out and did it the way it should be done to Solidify his place in history seeing a Fighter/ His team trying to get where he’s at , without actually doing it the way it should be done

Look how Lennox has responded to this AJ situation / He isn’t there to create problems and still says if AJ ever wants to talk give him a call , He doesn’t want to create a distraction for AJ before his biggest fight and talk sh.it so the media can pick it up create a false Beef and get him distracted , A Jealous man who wants AJs downfall wouldn’t do/say these things, A Man that knows the game wants to see the man succeed and create his own legacy would though

Fury was the one biggest of the biggest threats after his drug binge/retirement, crash diet to lose 150lbs and undwerwhelming perfomances against Seferi & Pianetta.

GTFOH everyone was expecting him to be a soft touch including Wilder and his team that's why they fought not becuase Wilder was looking for a dangerous fight.


Lennox has repeatedly moved the goal posts for AJ to make the Wilder fight original he stated they should offer a split in relation to the ratio of belts so 25% for Wilder then he went up and up. Not to mention saying stuff like AJ will be watching home not wanting part of Fury or Wilder because the can box. Also crickets when Wilder was turning down the DAZN offers and Wilders point refusal to negotiate even when being offered 40%.

Lennox definitely singled out AJ, it's obvious no matter what you think his motivation is.

Wlad was a beast for 10 years straight, when he ruled everyone kept their mouth quite, beat all typez of azz... Fought plenty of short guys and knew how to control the distance, even if it meant to clinch, Lenox was good at it as well.. Tyson, Lenox, Wlad, Joshua thats how the torch was passed... AJ will come back and beat the phukin’ chimichangas out of RuiZ, Badly....

Ha you're such a silly little fanboy.

Jealous Lewis is a bitter old tool. I only wish Josh surpasses him in terms of achievements in the ring and keep making shi.tload of money. Once that happens, Jealous Lewis might end up committing suicide, lol.

It just shows it's not always about race. A lot of idiots are always caught up in race and they think everything is about black vs white when it's not always the case.

The three biggest influences on AJ's career are: Wladmir Klitchsko, Rob McCracken and Sean Murphy - all white men. However, a lot of the ones that want to see him fail like Lennox Lewis are black. Isn't it interesting? Race baiters can learn a thing or two from this. It's always bigger than race when there's crab mentality everywhere.

This whole post is pathetic

Fury was out of Retirement and was back in the game had been training for almost a year , Fury has never relied on his superior athletic attributes to win fights , he relies on his superior boxing ability & IQ , Fury May have faced 2 no hopers before he fought Wilder but he got 1 quit on his stool & Pitched a shutout against the other without going into 1st gear


The narrative of Wilder only wanting to fight him at Furys lowest is/was a premade excuse by b.itch made AJ fans who didn’t want to give Wilder credit if he won . If that’s the case why was Wilder chomping at the bit for a rematch and would he agree to fight Fury next year if he only intended on fighting him when he wasn’t prepared ,

The truth is Fury & Wilder when they agreed to fight were 2/3 of the Kings at HW and both agreed to put everything including their legacies on the line and fight each other , with AJs reluctance to fight either they were each other’s biggest challenges. That type of mentality & Willingness to Risk it all is how True Greatness is Built , Not Having your Promoter play Social media games always delaying and making excuses why AJ hasn’t fought any of the most dangerous fighters in his division.

Maybe Lennox changes the Goalposts because Wilder worth has continued to grow and what a fair % 2 years ago is different then what it was last year. With the DAZn deal there was no mention of what the total pot was , Just how much Wilder would Receive, Wouldn’t you want to know the total revenue that’s being generated and what AJ is making to know if it a fair split or not.

AJs been singled out by Lennox because AJ and his team actions are questionable to say the least and a fighter that earned his spot in Sport by not taking the path of least resistance but by earning it & willing to fight any opponent at anytime ,( Sh.it Lennox took on Klitschko on short Notice as a replacement) can see the games that are being played by their side

You either can’t read or Just a Matchroom groupie If you read Lennoxs tweets and think Lewis is just a hater and doesn’t want AJ to be successful and to carve out his own Legacy , but he doesn’t need to be his Cheerleader and act like AJs groupies who make him infallible to any negative comments , If anyone has earned the right to call out AJ & his teams BS it’s Lennox , If AJ gets all in his feelings about it , That’s on him
