    Barry said that to make Parkers performance appear better.

    How do you know Eddie Hearn wasn't just saying that to make Jenner's performance appear better?

    We can use the same weak argument here.

    The fact is Takam was ill prepared, was old, shot, short and put in there to be brutalised and Jenner couldn't deliver the goods.

    In contrast a fully trained and prepared Takam eventually did get brutalised against another old and shot fighter in Chisora who did the job AJ was meant to do.

    Because Jenner hadn't fought Takam when Hearn issued that statement.

    It still stands that it could have easily been made to make the fight be considered less of a farce. Damage limitation springs to mind.

    How can you be so wrong time and time again yet still continue to post?


    Takam was in camp as he was meant to fight on Hearn's monaco card the following week.


    So you're completely exposed again, Takam had a full camp and was completely dominated, unlike against Chisora/Povetkin/Parker, where he had good success in all 3.

    Takam was a late replacement for Joshua, two week step in, and totally different opponent then who he had been spending a full camp preparing for.

    Whatever you say sport.

    Why don't you show me a video of Takam training for AJ?

    The facts are Takam barely trained.

    I've timestamped Barry telling you that he didn't have a proper camp.

    Kevin Barry, who works within the sport and talks with other trainers knows more than Eddie Hearn and his rentboy agents about the goings on inside boxing gyms.

    Takam wasn't even in the gym training until those last 2 weeks.

    I'd always take Barry's words on events over a compulsive liar in Eddie Hearn who has told much more untruths than truths.

    There's no evidence whatsoever of carlos takam training leading up to the fight and you know why? Because there was nothing footage to record.

    Face it, your boy has been exposed left, right and centre.

    The manufactured myth destroyed.

    You can't really make a lot of claims based on what a fighter does against someone else, styles make fights and all. But some of the critiques against Joshua are legitimate, he hit Wlad with everything he had and a guy with a weak chin got back up and dropped him. I do think he has been hyped and I believe it's the AJ camp that doesn't really want to fight Wilder, so does Lennox Lewis

    Not really sure I get this thread. Takam isn't one of Joshua's better opponents, so maybe he did not take the fight seriously. In any event, two of his three best wins fought each other last night in a crowd pleasing brawl. So you does this hurt him?

    Except Sasha's resume took a nose dive too. Takam was the best win he's had in the last 7 years. I'm no longer sure Del Boy could be ruled out against Povetkin.

    except don't forget Povetkin was the first to starch Takam... he softened him up for the rest of them... Takam wasn't the same, he was morally broken when he fought Joseph Parker, and Joshua, let alone Chisora lol.... You think Pamela Anderson was the same after Tommy Lee had her ahahha??? she's been with like 100 guys back then... point is, it's not much to brag about today if you have banged her in her current state.

    Got to laugh at the OP.. desperation and saying anything he can to express his dislike of AJ. Selectively ignoring the fact that Takam is highly rated by almost all professionals in the world of boxing, he is very hard to win rounds against due to his pressure style. AJ very nearly shut him out.

    Against Chisora he was winning the fight convincingly until he got caught with that shot. But lets ignore that obvious fact shall we OP?

    He has recently also been talking down Povetkin in order for the pattern to repeat, so if AJ wins (and I don't think thats a certainty at all..) he will then post how shot he was and it's a meaningless win.

    Like it or not OP, AJ IS the man right now at heavyweight, all the posts in the world will not change that, only someone stepping up and beating him will do that.

    There's only so many ways you can try and talk up a 37 year old 6'0 glorified cruiserweight who was riding a bicycle around the park to train, before you reach the point where you just have to say he just isn't very good.

    You say he's brings a pressure style.. welll so does Dave Allen when he's motivated.

    If he was great he'd have had Chisora out of there. Chisora who was schooled by Pulev, didn't even turn up for the media public workouts because he didn't even care that much about the fight and still showed up Jenner on how to put Takam away.

    Before the fight I expected Jenner to completely and utterly blast Takam out within 3 rounds. I actually posted that I felt sorry for Takam as I believed he was in for a severe beat down due to lack of preparation and the obvious physical limitations.

    To my surprise he took Joshua into the deep end, nearly causing him to completely gas, no doubt giving him flash backs to the wlad fight. That wasn't what was meant to happen at all.

    Look, Takam was put in there to get busted up so Jenner could shine. Not to go in and take Joshua into the later rounds, otherwise the ref would have allowed him to carry on.

    Answer me this, do you really think if Takam was throwing those flurry of punches(missing half of them) with Jenner against the ropes, the referee would have stopped the fight?

    Remember Jenner hadn't been 12 rounds before, so he was on the verge of being pushed into uncharted territory whilst at his career heaviest weight.

    Besides if you are determined to believe Takam was this monster, then pray tell me why Joshua never managed to put a dent in Parker, who was almost completely wiped out by Dillian Whyte?

    Lol, styles makes fights.

    Fact is Takam tasted Joshua's power and got on his bike, fought to not get knocked out. The one time he did engage in close with Joshua in the 5th he got knocked on his ass with one left hook.

    Takam went to war with Chisora as he didn't respect his power like he did Joshua's and he paid the price against Delboy.

    What does it say about Joshua's power that Takam was happy to stand and trade with Povetkin, Parker and Chisora, but refused to engage Joshua in a similar manner and did his best impersonation of Lara to try and survive.
