209 lbs Larry Holmes vs 250 pound Anthony Joshua

Yeah exactly that Jack. I'm looking forward to seeing the mental gymnastics if he comes thru impressively.

 

Did anyone see the programme on the BBC a couple of nights ago about the first Joshua vs Ruiz fight?

It attempted to portray Joshua as someone who was viewed before the fight as a great champion and seemingly unbeatable!!
Joshua is neither.
He's a nice guy, he conducts himself well, physically looks the part as a fighter and is very marketable and could potentially make hundreds of millions of dollars.

Although losing to Ruiz was a big upset, it doesn't come close to Tyson losing to Douglas. I remember that and it sent shockwaves around the world. This didn't.

Holmes was a very, very, very good fighter and he had the jab, the speed and the agility to completely dominate Joshua. And if Shavers couldn't stop Holmes then there's no way Joshua could either.

Holmes by a late stoppage (I'm going with round 9) or an overwhelming points victory.
