    he is to me, cant stand the guy personally. when asked directly he couldn't even say the name of the guy who just won an exciting fight against an all timer, trolling or not its classes. he probably thinks Joshua needs to earn his stripes before getting a mention, idiotic. Floyds attitude stinks, his recent antics after James DeGale Badou Jack fight were a sad sight from a great fighter, no class.

    So if you can't stand him then why do you care what he thinks about Joshua?

    Tyson recognises a good fight and seems to appreciate it
    I don't really, or do I? I dunno who cares. am just agreeing that he is probably jealous the new big star is on the way up and will probably totally eclipse Folyd in the space of two more fights.

    I understand that once you have the skillset that mayweather has, and the knowledge about this sport that mayweather has, you can have a really hard time giving credit to a guy with so many flaws as joshua has. He looked like sh+t vs wlad, tbh. Muscle and youth, that's the only thing he showed, I myself find it difficult to give credit to him as an exceptional boxer, tbh.

    Tyson isn't jealous but Fluid sure as hell his. Coming from a guy whose got an aversion to holding onto belts not because he's intrinsically incapable of holding a belt, but he's scared of being forced to defend it. I'm sure that irks Fluid that a young hungry lion like Joshua is going to do what he can't.

    Exactly.

    Floyd understand that drugs and brute force combined with youth was the difference.

    Joshua only proved that he is one of the biggest punchers in the heavyweight division, nothing more.

    Tyson seem happy with his legacy despite how it ended, people still remember the 80s so he is probably satisfied. Not much to remember with Floyd, he got the numbers but people forget that and he gets a lot of stick for playing it safe. he said its not smart to get hit, but fighters fight, nearly all the old timers he pretty much calls dumb but they will be remembered for their great fights, their career risks, which he seems to not take into account. Doubt he cares anyway
