AJ showed signs of age-related decline

No offence but I'll tell you what's embarrassing is having to listen to all you rose-tinted goggle wearing boxing paleontologists crying your big baba tears all over the general forum nonstop in order to discredit modern fighters and greats like Usyk who literally embodies everything right and great about the sport and who has achieved everything he has the hard way.

He was already considerably past his prime before before he won a title at HW for goodness sake and he's very noticeably much slower, less fluid with much slower reflexes and reaction times but you all ignore this but hand out free passes for being past prime and their below par performances, struggles and losses to your heroes of yesteryear



Baba tears and nostalgia >>> Classic forum

 

I never sad he hasn't declined but fact is he was robbed in the first J-Park fight and he dis beat the #8 ranked Big Joe Joyce in his last fight. He's still a good fighter

He clearly beat Washington

He nearly did KO Forrest and no way he KO's The Hulk that guy is as tough as poop. Even in his stoppage loss to Bakole he proved that

 

He didn't have two good eyes. He had one good eye

You keep proving my point for me. Thanks

Lewis ran from a rematch like a female dog because he knew he got lucky in the first fight. Every fan on the planet was desperate to see the rematch because it was a great fight, ultra competitive, and it was decided on a cut. The only fans who didn't want to see it were Lewis' fan because they knew he would lose it. Lewis was obviously terrified of facing Vitali again because he knew it too. It was a shameless duck point blank period

 

The only one who is getting outed here is you getting outed as a Lewisexual and a rabid AJ hater. I don't even like AJ

I never said you brought Lewis up. I did and I explained why, Lewisexual

Yes, Lewis had 14 more fights and fought more punchers than AJ. He also got one punch sparked out cold in his prime by Dillian Whyte level guys, neither of whom hit as hard as Dubois. Lewis doesn't get up from that first right hand bomb which dropped AJ and you know I'm right

Yes, AJ has double the losses because he had the balls to face a slick southpaw twice, and a generational great at that. Lewis never would've in a million years

AJ didn't even take up boxing until he was like 18, Lewis was 13.

 

No, so basically I'm making all you big baba tear boxing nostalgists hold your heroes from yesteryear to a standard you're loath to do so and it makes you cry even more big baba tears

AJ's problems are obviously mental and the fact people like you are even trying to pretend he didn't look like crap the other night from a technical and skills perspective is extremely disingenuous, as said, his skills and technique went out the window after that first KD and he looked like a pale shadow of his former self.

Lewis' problems were more physical. He got one punch sparked out by a crack addict and a janitor in the midst of his prime. As desperate as you are to memory hole that, you never can. I would rather go 0-1000-3 against bums than suffer a fate like that.

 

It has everything to do with Lewis. We have rabid Lewisexuals/rabid AJ haters holding AJ to a much harsher standard than they do their hero and pretending like the AJ we saw the other night wasn't the worst version we've seen from a skills and technical perspective when it so obviously was. He looked like a rank novice in that regard and, regardless of what people think of him, he has good skills and technique.

You guys pretending that was the same AJ as we're used to seeing in that regard is a false equivalence

Did Lewis avenge his loss to Rahman and McCall before rematching them? How is AJ supposed to avenge his loss when they only fought a few days ago? Should he have rematched him Monday morning?

 

No it isn't. Haters don't assess anything correctly

I'm not a Lewis hater and I've already explained exactly what I'm doing

They have plenty in common and AJ's career is still being written

You're making nonstop excuses for Lewis whilst crucifying AJ on a molten cross. Which is exactly my point regarding all you rose-tinted boxing nostalgists

You view the fighters of previous eras through the lens of rose-tinted goggles and the ones of today through the lens of a microscope

Anyway, we've never going to agree so let's leave it there
