After the Wlad fight and the BBC doc I have to say I've warmed to him a bit more but a lot of folk are taking it right over the score. I'd like him to stop with the motivational quotes and all that pish but I won't hold my breath.

I'd say Muhammad Ali if only Wilt Chamberlain didn't box his ears in an alternate universe!
Re: Is Anthony Joshua the greatest ever sportsman?
Why do sports people think they are qualified to start talking about the wider world, politics, how we should live our lives and act like they know better than us? And why do people repost that pish as if is right.Stuarty30 wrote:After the Wlad fight and the BBC doc I have to say I've warmed to him a bit more but a lot of folk are taking it right over the score.

At 43 years old, the owner of a successful regional newspaper business for 17 years, three kids ages 11-21 and managing to tie my shoe laces for quite a while now makes me feel that I do not need to have life coaching from a 27 year old former drug dealer turned professional boxer who lives in a bubble of 10 hangers on and staff attending to his every whim

I don't diagree. But like it or not, some people insist that sportsmen are role models and so think they need to go around inspiring us with motivational quotes and pretending to be good people.tobyh5 wrote:Why do sports people think they are qualified to start talking about the wider world, politics, how we should live our lives and act like they know better than us?

Re: Is Anthony Joshua the greatest ever sportsman?
I can't wait to the day he makes a monumental balls up. I like him as a fighter n that but it'll be hilarious. He'll boot off in Nandos one day because his chicken isn't spicy enough and turn the place upside downBoxerbeetle wrote:I don't diagree.

It's between him and Phil the power Taylor.
But one accolade he definitely takes home, according to the press, is "person a mother would most want her daughter to bring home one day"
