Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua - What Happens If It Happens Again?

[pollywog]

Joshua doesn’t have a glass chin. Who has ever hit his chin and he has been flattened? I think the only person that shattered his chin was Klitschko and he got up so quickly I don’t think there was a count. He has been belted on his chin but some fairly heavy hitters. You can’t get hit on the temple go down and then claim that fighter has a glass jaw. Robotic ? Yes I can’t argue with you . Does Whyte have a glass jaw because he has been put to sleep in the ring.

I didn't say chin. I said glass jaw.

Btw, did you know the jaw is attached to the skull just below your ears which is AJ's knockout button?

Land one there a few times like Ruiz did and watch the giant glass jawed robot topple.

Lololololol....true but he doesn’t stay down he gets straight back up. You usually associate glass with shattering. I.e glass jaw Amir Khan. Or are there different levels of density in glass in your depiction?

It doesn't matter if he loses so long as he progresses and develops at a faster pace than the competitors, its how good you can get in the competitive time frame before you are too old to compete at the highest level anymore, who has the fastest trajectory?

That being said he was winning with everyone, then one guy beat him, its much easier to just beat 1 guy that you put special emphasis on than it is to keep knocking them down one after the other. Thats so hard to do to stay and hold the championship its much easier to take it, take the belt

Heh...shatterproof glass bro!

Absorbs the impact but weakens over time.

Only good for 4 knocks over 7 rounds.

Joshua has done well but at this point in his career he has done nothing to attain legendary status. Let him beat Ruiz, Fury and Wilder and he will have a toehold on being considered legendary but with still no guarantees.

With all respect, how is Mike Tyson’s early career better than what Joshua’s attained so far? I don’t see a drastic difference, with the exception that Tyson unified all the belts whereas Joshua never got the WBC from Wilder. But in my opinion, they both beat a lot of B level fighters by knockout, and both beat a fading legend (Holmes, Klitschko) and both were knocked the spark out by a guy no one thought would win while everyone was looking past him to a much-anticipated matchup (Holyfield, Wilder). I personally don’t think Joshua has to do anything more to attain to the levels of Tyson, but that’s just what I believe.

Parker was fighting concussed after a headbutt the ref counted as a knockdown in the 2nd round then went on to flatten whyte in the championship round.

Whyte knows he ain't ever gonna get back in with Parker cos he'd lose and Chisora has been quacking ever since his bout was called off.

Usyk won't risk his mando and neither will Pulev cos they know how dangerous Parker is.

Gentleman Joe might lack a killer instinct but he'd still flatten a lot of pretenders out there and test them to their limits over the distance.

Dont get me wrong, i think Parkers a good fighter, but has he got that real commitment to be heavyweight champion. Things happen in boxing, maybe he was concussed, i dont know about that, but he really shouldve beaten Whyte, that set him back, and fans aren't clamouring for a rematch. I think him vs Wilder is interesting, because he has a chin, power, and can fight at a pace Ortiz couldn't. I'd tune in for that.

Get real

If he loses, it won’t ruin the career he’s already had. Look at RJJ, Mike Tyson, and others like them who ended up having an amazing early career and tanking in the second half. They’re still considered legends.

If he loses again he is dogshyt.

Go back and watch him beat Ruiz fairly and squarely to become heavyweight champion.

Oilskin had the faster hands then, but since has undergone elbow surgery that for ages meant he couldn't throw straight rights and settled for overhand ones. That dramatically reduced his knockout ratio.

Imagine windmill if he couldn't throw a straight right?

Fact is, Parker fought once this year against a tough Leapai who as a matter of Samoan pride refused to take a knee but got battered every single round.

That was after Molina knew a loss to Parker was the end of his road so bailed and NO ONE was willing to step up for the challenge except Leapai.

Oilskin is getting ducked and shafted by Fast Eddie for a reason. That reason being he is better than 99.9% of heavies out there doing the rounds.

Drugs ARE bad

[QUOTE=Jax teller;20231149]"Steer away from Wilder for 10 years" yet he's only been a pro for 5 years.:[/QUOTE
Joshua turned pro in 2013. But he has been boxing since 2006. So he's been actually dodging Wilder for 13 years.
Math IS easy.
