Browne got shown up for not having been in with anyone remotely as good as Whyte.

Think the same could happen to Parker as long as Joshua doesn't go looking to bomb him out early.

I think this could be closer than people think. Joshua resume looks better on paper however I understand whyte went in with shoulder injury, klitschko was a very old man and Ruiz was a better fighter than Martin who Parker beat to win his title

So Haye fights and admits injury hindered performance, Joshua fights people and made up injuries come out of the wood work as to why he beat them.

Yes, made me laugh too, AJ is the most complete heavyweight we have had for many a year and as usual people want him to fail.

.
Moot point. How would AJ have gone against Lennox Lewis in his prime?

Why are is it a moot point, read what I wrote again 'for many a year'

I haven't got a clue who will win - looking forwards to finding out! Joshua still has to prove he can be a great! |Doesn't mean he won't though!

What an odd fellow Parker's promoter is.

I don't want him to fail and think he wins but not a one sided fight imo as a lot if ppl think.

Any Lewis would of destroyed AJ at present. Lewis was an ATG and top 5 heavy imo. Could be closer if AJ continues to improve.

Lewis had mastered the art towards the end of his career, annoyingly as a fan his application and concentration let him down on a couple of occasions. He rose to the top in a very tough era of heavyweight boxing, things are warming up in the heavys now but you just can't compare them because of the differing levels of opposition.

For the sake of amusement let's go through a few opponents and what happened to them

Joshua - Dillian Whyte, just off the back of a brutal knockout of human beanbag Lucas Browne. Whytes claim to fame is he landed a clean punch on Joshua over 8 rounds

Lewis - Shannon Briggs, a man with more first round knockouts than anyone else I can think of off the top of my head. A genuinely dangerous man and the two of them engaged in one of my favourite heavyweight fights of all time, Briggs passes the time now hollering "let's go champ" at various victims, the Klitchsko brothers being two more famous victims.

Joshua - Charles Martin, a patsy, a well abbed pudding. Having fought a mate of mine in Madison square garden apparently he punches hard. The guy I'm talking about is Tom Dallas who recently had his career ended by Dave Allen, another charismatic pudding. Charles Martin made a mockery of the title champion

Lennox Lewis - Evander Holyfield, enough said

Joshua - Wladimir Klitchsko, granted one of the best heavyweight bouts on British soil ever. Joshuas crowning moment, only problem is Tyson Fury played with the same guy for 12 rounds like a cat plays with a mouse. In the mouse's house

Lennox Lewis - Razor Ruddock, monster of a man and a solid champion. Lewis took him apart in one of my earlier memories of boxing

Joshua - Daniel Breazeale, this guy isn't a bad heavyweight compared to what else is out there, I just thought it would be funny to see written down the difference in opponents

I've not got a downer on Joshua, I just don't like how he's being blasted into the stratosphere by Hearn and to a degree the public who don't see the whole picture with him. He's beaten whatever has been fed to him I just don't think he will go down as a great in years to come because of the lack of competitive opposition

Absolutely agree.

Joshua may, by the time he retires, go down as an all time great but a lot depends on who he fights - great boxers are mainly great because of the competition they had to overcome.

As it stands right now AJ could not hold a candle to LL - Lennox is in my top 10 of all-time.

Listen, Razor could have a tear up but he was not on the same level as a heavyweight world champion. Let alone actually getting in to the ring with him.

Is Daniel any relation to Dominic?

That's the one Daniel, Dominic. Tomato tomatoe

I disagree about Ruddock, he was an animal and was someone who gave Tyson an actual fight. Again, he was competing with some very tough and dangerous men at the time too. If he was around now he'd walk through most heavies on the planet

Well this is a bit embarrassing.

I'd completely overlooked/forgotten about Donovan Ruddock and thought you'd messed up Riddick Bowes first name.

Feel free to point and laugh

Look on the bright side mate you could support Millwall.

You went higher.

Sir, I bow to your superior foresight

Scorecards where way to wide to me tbh. Thanks hoping we win something to split 4 ways!
