  1. The over under is 2.5 rounds. It would be great to know what Joshua's plans to do on the night. He said if he doesnt get him out in round 1 then its a failure. But you can never take that sort of stuff to the bank. If he wants to get him out within 2 rounds he will. Or he could carry him. If anything I am betting the under....as I get annoyed watching Joshua go easy on him.
  2. A few probably were. Or a few were guys with 6-0 records when Joshua was young with similar record. But they dont look like guys sitting at the bar drunk getting into a fight. But not sure how you can gather how legit a guy is from a highlight video. Take any top guys top 10 KOs and there will be littered with "tune up" looking fighters or journeymen. I dont see how that adds legitimacy to your question. Joshua has fought most of the top HWs of his generation. A 2 time HW champion. Why does some highlight video hold more water than his actual resume? Should scouts draft players on their highlight tapes? Im not understanding the big deal of Eds video.

    ***Wagering thread***

    Lightly tailing everything for action.
  4. For an all time great, Mike Tyson may have the worst resume. Its few and far between anyone relevant to really good status. And when he did, he lost. But was self compromised by then. I attribute it some to just his era. He sort of fit in perfectly with a weird era. But his opponents are not some list of good fighters. The ones he beat were at the end of their rope. It would have been great to see prime Tyson thrown into a different era. I hate to burst anyones bubble because I love Tyson too even if I missed his best stuff.
  5. God I love ve Mike Tyson. And I dont want to shlt on him because Mike Tyson was really good in his prime. Name me his top 3 wins in order. Michael Spinks ok. A very old Larry Holmes. Who else? Thats literally the boxer people put on a pedestal, look at his record and tell me all the greats that he beat. Holmes is a great, he was coming off back to back losses to Spinks when he fought Tyson. He was 39 years old. And still, its one of his top 3 wins. People think the Ali's, Foremans, Tysons just fought straight killers each time out.

    DEI Destroyed Quarterback Play in the NFL ---

    I did not watch video and no I cant see how people use phrase DEI here. The running QB became viable when the league got softer and softer. I find it less enjoyable to watch but you basically need to have some legs in todays game because a lot of it is gimmie yardage. I watched the Eagles 2 weeks ago. Hurts didnt run exactly, but falls back jump passes at last second with a guy right on him leaving himself totally exposed....yet knowing the defender wont be driving him through the ground. In 2005 Hurts is hurt on that play all day.
  7. Google Andy Ruiz, he half shockingly beat Joshua the first time they met. You may think less of Joshua after. Even though Ruiz is a very good boxer.
  8. I didnt take it as one. But when basically googling joshua and easily finding hes 36 years old and has fought in numerous HW title fights vs the very best boxers and his last fight was a title fight ...is all it takes.... Google is your friend "Is he fighting a real fighter" ok honest question. Ed reaponds "So... no? He isnt because these guys in a highlight video dont look like prime mike tyson, I dont follow boxing and dont even know what boxers look like" Lol.
  9. Yeah and in earlier posts you hinted at thinking a 60 year old washed no training Tyson should br able to beat Paul. So who knows.
  10. In short, yes Anthony Joshua is a very legit opponet for most any HW in boxing today. Hes literally lining up a Tyson Fury fight next. Ill just move on lol.
  11. When you are 58 you cant move. When you dont train for fights and are 58 you have zero gas. I would not expect an old washed boxer to beat Jake Paul. At some point your legs dont move, you dont even train fot years. Im sure Mike hits a treadmill some. But he hasnt really trained in years. Mike Tyson could not move. He was dead tired after 1 round of doing nothing. Im not saying Jake Paul is some good boxer. You dont have to be to beat an almost 60 year old. But I feel most people give him zero credit. Hes not you or me coming off the couch. Hes been an athletic 20 something year old kid who trains hard with elite trainers. Maybe he boxed some in his youth. Hes not just some content creator who flies to an arena to try boxing off the couch. Hes been training pretty hard for years noe with elite people.
  12. I mean sure he took on Anerson Silva and Nate Diaz who were older MMA fighters. But to take on those guys when you are a youtuber who has a few boxing fights to his name....is impressive. Anderson and Nate both loved boxing and had hands. Both still very much in thr pro fighting scene even if they were older. If you think Jake Paul is a joke and sucks, then I dont understand why you trash his opponents. If Jake Paul is terrible and inexperienced not sure why you expect him to take on prime Ali and Lennox Lewis 4 fights into his career. He honest to God probably fought better opponets that early in his career than many of the all time greats. Askren was a joke because he was a MMA wrestler with bad hands. Tyson was a joke because hes a stoner 58 year old whos been washed for almost 3 decades. He fought Nate focking Robinson. Bad opponent. But why would a pro athlete at NBA level fighting a very green youtuber who was never in a professional sport be so out of line? Again if Jake Paul is terrible (and inexperienced) who exactly do you expect him to fight?
  13. Who looks like a jobber? Because a guy is white hes a jobber? Of course they wont look like Joshua standing next to him, Joshua was basically the greek god of physiques in boxing. They all look like boxers to me. I think people think back to 70s boxing and think there were 30 joe fraziers and george foremans. Plenty of guys they fought looked much more jobberish than that clip.
  14. Absolutely not as far as Tyson. How much gas do you think Tyson has? 1 round worth? The guy is 58, been through hell, body tore up, smokes tons of weed, and was washed up 25 years prior to that fight. Boxing is much more than punching a dude in the face as hard as you can. What exactly did Mike bring to a boxing fight at age 58 other than being good at boxing 3 decades ago? He looked exactly how a 58 year old weed smoker to look.
  15. I am relaxed. Im just saying even for those that dont follow, its pretty clear that Joshua is still a very relevant HW even if he past his absolute prime. Not sure what you want I guess. What would impress you? Who should youtubr jake paul with limited fights be fighting? King Kong? Is Joshua the very best boxer on the planet at the moment? No. Is he still a top 10 current HW boxer? Yes. If a top 10 fighter in a division isnt a legit guy then I guess I dont know what to say.
