Originally posted by Cutthroat View PostTyson lost to lesser fighters than Parker like Douglas, he went the distance with guys who'd been stopped by other journeymen like Ruddock and Tillis, went the distance with a part time boxer like Mitch Green who stopped afterwards by a journeyman.
Holyfield was a blown up cruiser with more KO's at cruiser than heavy. Got into a war with a 42 year old, out of shape Foreman, gassed badly and got hurt by LHW Moorer, got stopped by blown up James Toney.
Holmes never fought anybody as big as AJ or Wilder, he had some close SD bouts with guys physically bigger than him like Ken Norton and Tim Witherspoon.
This era is still much better than the past eras. AJ/Wilder would've lost by now like past HW champions were to journeymen/part time boxers.
******ed posters like you give NSB a bad name......

Quick reality check:
The guy has only had 21 fights. He hasn’t unified the division. He hasn’t had his career-defining fight yet. Of course he’s nowhere near ATG status, but he’s undeniably good.
Get off the hype train. Get off the hate train. Get AJ-Wilder on and see who can build a legacy.

Originally posted by BigZ44 View PostOK, but in fairness, have any of the AJ fanboys, like myself, said he is anywhere near ATG status at this point. I can obviously only speak for myself, but of course he is nowhere near that level yet. He still has lots of room to improve and the time to do it, but I haven't seen anybody saying he'd run through prime versions of Ali, Foreman and Lewis

Like the thread mentioned its all too business minded and not enough really mean intentions in the ring atm.

Originally posted by SteveM View PostA definite lack of bad intention in the ring on Saturday. It was like a competitive sparring session, no desire to hurt and no tolerance for being hurt. Joshua was unmarked and Parker wasn't busted up, bruised maybe.
Looked like a sparring session between two good mates.
