AJ isn't only the greatest sportsman ever he is the greatest human ever

And the most humble

Yeah, but would you say that to Prince Patel's face.

The three greatest humans ever are Jonny Ball, Terry Nutkins and Fanny Blankers Koen

It's between him and Wilt.

Nip and tuck between him and Sam Eggington

But can he perform away at stoke on a cold winter night?

Tell you after he's retired. For now he still a street thug who got lucky.

Absolutely this.

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!

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.

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

smh

Yeah the constant sound bytes numb my skull. They're getting worse as well

I don't think he's preaching to us older ones he's representing for da yout blud innit

He'll win the BBC SPOTY award this year

Hurricane Higgins would have whupped him at a catchweight of 147.

I always felt AJ would of beat Jesse Owens over 100m with Adolf watching on.

Saturday justifies those claims.

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.

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 down

I reckon he'd just put extra hot sauce on instead

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"
