What an utterly stupid post.
I think you have me mixed up with yourself.

AJ Vs Parker: The Gloves are Off

Don't be silly, you couldn't possibly have any mates.
I dunno. It's possible that there are a few Palace gimps in Vancouver too.
Me thinks you and SP must be an item.Bless.

A peak Ali or Holmes would have. But where do we stop in comparisons made to devalue a current World Champion? They can only beat who's in front of them in their particular era.
An analogy would be to downgrade the class of Laver, Borg and Sampras, or, all future tennis no.1's, simply because Federer is probably the best.
Best to enjoy the moment and celebrate champions at the time.

Exactly this, I fail to see what relevance Tyson, Ali etc has got to the fight thats happening on Saturday between Parker and Joshua. Its something very peculiar to boxing every time a discussion starts someone hijacks it to bang on about how much better past eras, champions were etc.
When Brighton were in the lower divisions we didn't constantly compare the performances with the team from 1979 - 1983.
If you have fallen out of love with boxing then fair enough but how about leaving us boxing fans who do enjoy it alone to talk about the fighters that are boxing now.

Good post. I've enjoyed much of the boxing in recent years and I look forward to watching more.
In times past I loved watching past greats such as Leonard, Lennox Lewis, Ali; but don't need the need to bench mark and slag off the likes of Froch, Joshua, etc, with a miserable schadenfreude agenda.

I saw the Sky build-up featuring Parker's training camp. I'm not a great fan of the Mormons but he did seem like a very decent guy. Hope he doesn't get badly hurt but fear he might.

Joshua slimmed down and fitter, making him more mobile.
Interesting to see if he can KO Parker.

As I already said in this thread AJ catered his previous weight to fighting Pulev, when Takam was his fill in that was a big change in terms of size etc. It doesn't surprise me at all to see AJ drop almost a stone for this fight.

People dont want to appreciate that AJ had to change his plans and schedule when it was known that Takam was stepping in but Takam had been told 8 weeks earlier to be on standby.so had been planning a fight against AJ.

There is the full fight Takam v AJ, I think people are lying to themselves about AJs performance.

Because the media hype up these boxers to be something that they haven't even proved themselves to be yet.The fans get caught up in it too and think the same.The boxers themselves also start to believe the hype.Making comparisons with boxers of past years is a way to remind everyone in fact these guys are maybe not all that yet and have to prove themselves.
