    Multiply Joshua's hype by 10 & you're still not close. And there was no social media rubbish.

    Mike Tyson is an ATG. He deserved the hype.

    Tyson by far

    He had much more of a monster image

    LIke other posters have said - the hype that Joshua is getting is about one tenth of the hype that Tyson had at the time, the difference is absolutely enormous.

    As with regards with your certainty on Joshua, sounds more of a fanboy statement, rather than a knowledgeable boxing opinion. Joshua is talented, but in reality, he is still very much unproven against even a decent opponent.

    Watched a video of a young Lennox destroying some poor bes**** and all the commentators were talking about was the overblown HYPE.

    Tyson at the time deserved the accolades, so did Lennox and now Joshua. Tyson was seen as an unbeatable animal, Joshua ' s accomplishments have been overblown as was Tyson unbeatable mystique. Tyson was a superstar at 21.

    Exactly, a big reason why they shouldn't be compared at the moment.

    He is serious, but also a troll.

    Check his post history. A Brit that has gone AJ crazy.
    Hes created 2 alts since AJ's fight in the weekend.

    Its annoying really, as posters like him make fans dislike fighters like AJ just because of his nutswinging fans. Just like the pathetic Pacquiao and Mayweather stans.

    If you were around in the 80s you know the answer. Joshua is a fraud. Mike was the real deal.

    There will be a bunch of Brits that will come on an flame you about how much of a beast Whyte is... but you're not wrong!

    No way Whyte even touches Mike. Tyson by KO within 2. :deal
