The mans a salesman. A blown up cruiser weight. Fury will beat him


A cruiser weight that won the heavyweight championship... At a time when the division was in an utter shambles. Worse than now arguably. And he was a great fighter mate. He moved up from cruiser weight because there was literally no one else to fight.

He was a publicist but come on. What fighter at that level isn't, some are just worst than the other.

Haye could of become a very good heavyweight boxer but focused too much on becoming a celebrity, should have stuck with adam in cypress
I don't think we have to worry about Joshua making many career mistakes. Seems to have a really level head, his attitude is top class. I hope I never get punched in the face by him
Hopefully it stays that way but Joshua definitely was an arsehole before he became an olympic boxer

I'm pretty sure Joshua is who Fury was aiming his steroid argument at.


Well it's another mistimed rabbit punch from the heavyweight champion of the world if thats true.

There is no way an Olympic champion would evade drugs tests. He was tested by the BOA like all the rest from a very young age. As are all their early starlets are, whatever the sport.

As much as I like Joshua, it sounds that way to me too after hearing how much weight he's put on in the last year. I forget the exact amount but Steve Bunce was talking about it a few months back on talkshit.

Fuck personality. I'm not going for a drink with the guy. I only care if the fight is good. Tyson was a horrible piece of shit but i would watch him fight all day long.

Eubank put on 11lbs in just over a week to fight johnson.

Lots of protein and whey will bulk you up no problem.

I think you would enjoy the pikey circuit.

Right up your street.

Maybe literally.

My mothers family were pikey stock. They were the lee clan in peaky blinders.
Grandfather was the muscle on the racecourse bookie circuit.

Totally agree. Joshua is a good year and a half year away imo. Maybe even longer.

But he can be the new Lewis if he does it properly.

He is exciting, but he has a long way to go. He hasnt fought anyone yet. Hes never been hit back. Dont take anything away from Tyson. He has 3 belts.

Tyson could have done with just one that fitted him in the last round.

He may have been a good cruiser, but he wasnt all that at Heavy. And his fight with Wlad was piss poor. Absolute, pussy show. The man should be ashamed of himself.

He had a broken toe. He broke it 4 days before the fight.

It wasn't a lie. You ever had a broken toe?

I think the UK now has 11 world champs. The most of any country. Exciting times for British boxing.
