Takum has a chance, but not much of a chance. Why do the org.'s make mismatches all the time! It's destroying boxing!
There is no reason Ortiz could not have fought Wilder, but that protection for Wilder was planned! Ortiz was a real threat! Povetkin was also framed and cleared by VADA, but Wilder's WBC refused to allow Povetkin to knock Wilder out! Yes, Povetkin was a clear threat!
Joshua is going to knock out Takam inside 5 rnds and then everyone is going to claim hes over the hill after posting how great the fight was going to be and how its going 12....
Buster was 6'3/6'4 with a 83 inch reach fighting a 5'10 unprepared /unfocused Tyson without his ACTUAL trainer. The roles are certainly not reversed here bc Joshua is the giant here that smaller Takam has to get by just like Tyson had too. Takam is not Tyson even that night,and Joshua can punch aLOT harder than Douglas. Takam is in for a very rough night i think.
I wasn't quoting Douglas-Tyson for any stylistic reason of course, just saying that huge upsets do occur from time to time. Douglas was a 42-1 underdog.
On the contrary, most people here in the UK and on Twitter are disrespecting Takam, claiming that he's a bum / some random footballer would do better / etc.
People around M.Tyson warned Tyson he was going to lose or subject to lose,,not such an upset when you know the ins and outs about that fight. Upsets do happen but no one in Joshua's camp would ever let him overlook someone like Takam. Should he win it would be the biggest upset off paper i have seen bc Joshua is never overlooking anybody, M.Tyson did that a few times well before the Douglas fight to the point he got rid of Rooney and became lazy by his standards. Imagine if Douglas slacked off and Tyson trained his hardest hes ever done before in 1990? Thats what would almost have to happen here....a perfect storm to Takam to win this one. Like you said upsets happen ,but usually theres a great reason for them happening.
Except im not referring or going to be responding to random ppl in the U.K...im talking about boxing forums..the usual groups where the fighter is a great challenger but when he loses easily or fast he becomes the...he shouldnt have been in there anyway the guy was a bum...lol Its the old bait and switch game until joshua will lose which will be a minute. Everyones a bum didnt you know that? lol
Yes, I know there are both extremes ... Takam usually gets respect on any boxing forum and that should continue even if Joshua blasts him out easily.
