Anthony Joshua warns Mike Tyson: We’re bigger, we’re stronger

[bigjack]

AJ would beat a guy like 6 foot 185 Jack Johnson, who himself won the hw title vs a 5'7 160s on fight day opponent, but not Lar or Moo or Mike. These threads always pick the wrong guys, size matters for sure but the elitest of the elite can overcome it. Tyson was around 220 of muscle in his prime too, he was more just a shorty than some little tiny guy.

That said, going back to that holmes discussion mentioned, Lar did have issues with a number of opponents, arguably beat by Carl Williams, badly badly hurt and down by Renny Snipes, admitted to being hurt to the body by Gerr, plenty of other struggles. He wouldnt easily whoop AJ, he'd have issues, but he had more ability and amazing recovery (not chin), he'd get AJ in the end

I don't believe Larry would beat Joshua easily,he would get hurt,go down but the argument was because he was smaller then he couldn't win.

Hey, nobody outside LA LA Land thinks Tyson is going to do anything
more than have a few low key sparring sessions.
He isn't going to compete with the young lions of today or take over
any division including bantam weight on up.
Any fights Tyson has now will be akin to pro wrestling.
Just entertainment.

I don't know I'm gonna out on a limb and say I'd still favor even the current Tyson over the likes of say Isaac Dogboe

Neho!

Larry had no struggles with cooney. That being said, Joshua would ice that big white bum.

[margaret thatcher]

His body felt it apparently, lar's own words

Yeah Joshua vs Cooney would get ugly for 'ol Gerry pretty fast.

You've never heard a fighter give big ups to someone they beat the shit out of? I'm sure those hooks to the thigh didn't tickle.

[margaret thatcher]

I could see it too, Lar dominated but Gerr had a moment or two in 13 rounds and it was those body shots, it's okay, doesnt mean Coonster didnt get his ass kicked

[Onetimeonly]

It didn't happen.

Gerry didn't give Larry nearly the trouble, Witherspoon, Truth Williams, and later M. Spinks did. Actually, Gerry didn't give Larry much trouble at all, notwithstanding the TIME Magazine cover and all the other publicity.

He won 2 or 3 RDS. Bone crusher was tougher. Weaver was way tougher. Mike would have whacked cooney if he didn't get caught early.

[Tony1244]

There was talk of Cooney-Weaver before Gerry fought Holmes. Gerry likely would have lost in retrospect, so Dennis R and Mike Jones may not have handled Gerry too badly after all.

They handled him perfectly. Weren't they going to fight on that Smith card?

True, but to be fair to Cooney, Holmes was a better fighter when he fought Cooney than he was when he fought those guys. Most of Holmes title defenses up until the Cooney fight were fairly one-sided. Holmes was certainly getting the better of Cooney, but Cooney was fairly competitive.

His jab was better, but his chin was worse than expected. If Cooney had a better chin and if he had better stamina. But if I ...........

Weaver/cooney. You remember that huge card?

No, which card?

[Enlightened-One]

I wonder how many threads we have now with the same moronic argument that size means everything in boxing

I wonder about how many times you keep fückîng lying, by your pretending I hold a stance I’ve never once conveyed.

Why don’t you, for once, show some integrity by proving your allegations against me by quoting my actual words?

If you either can’t or flatly refuse to do it, then you’re obviously fückïng lying!

Come on kid, do your best by quoting my words!

[margaret thatcher]

Shots fired

[Enlightened-One]

Shots fired

Yep, you’re right!

The moderators should ban the person who lied.

So if Riddick Blowe can’t prove his claim, he should be banned.

But if he can, then I will either permanently leave the forum or the moderators should ban me.

That’s how confident I am about this situation.

[margaret thatcher]

You've been called out Blowe, the time is now, let's dual bois

[Counter-puncher]

Lads I’ve thoroughly tested the new speaker and I’m blown away.

I’ll give a full review tomorrow, it will be verging on ecstatic.
