    but england are crap at cricket, so..hmm. perhaps you mean the women's team, they are good. I have been wondering whether we should send the womens team to the mens world cup in fake beard disguises, we might win something then.

    anyway if he meant ice hockey he should say ice hockey - the presumption just underlines the big fish in a small pond attitude.

    hockey is played by many in many variations - shinty, hurling, just in Britain and Ireland - ice hockey being one of them. Though I will admit that in its pure form its a bit "fee-paying school" like english rugby.

    I only responded to you because you insulted me.

    "Although many people in America, much like yourself, seem to know little of the world outside it."

    Now that you've shown yourself to be out of the loop, you start with the Trump insults.

    I'll keep this really simple for you.

    The boxing audience and the NBA basketball audience is made up of the same demographic, but the basketball audience is HUGE ... in the billions, and boxing isn't.

    Joshua was seated basically at the NBA announcers' table. He was there to be promoted by the NBA and talked up by its announcers. And they didn't know his name. Even though he and his fans insist he's the biggest star in the sport.

    Bottom line, Joshua isn't the star he and his sycophants in the UK believe he is.

    Mayweather and Pac met at an NBA game, exchanged numbers on the court, met that night at Mayweather's room, and it was GLOBAL NEWS. And it kicked negotiations into high gear for a fight that had been stuck in the mud for years. And it became the biggest money-making fight in history.

    Had Joshua and Wilder BOTH appeared at the NBA game, and both sat next to each other and BOTH spoke on camera about wanting to fight, it would've made news as far as CHINA - which would be a nice audience to include in the fight.

    But Joshua and his fans think he doesn't need anyone else. He's the BIG star.

    And Joshua and his fans are delusional.

    He's a big fish in a small pond. Boxing needs global fights. Not a guy who won't leave home and won't work with others to market himself. Won't even let his biggest competitor stand in the ring with him after a fight.

    Shows how confident Joshua really is. (Not very)

    With that, no need to respond to me directly. Because I'm not going to continue debating with people who insult me.

    Basketball is a great sport but one thing is for sure is that Anthony "Johnson" will knockout anybody in the NBA.

    That’s if “anybody” would travel to UK and be willing to fight on Tony Johnson’s terms.

    then say ice hockey, my good man.

    Although try saying "dhahah dockeys not bruthal" after a stick to the face. Or try saying hurling isnt brutal in Croke park on finals day, see how far you get.


    personally i find ice hockey (and hockey) boring back n forth with no real change in movement/momentum plus impossible to see the ball/puck, although basketball games are fun they have great atmosphere and a constantly seesawing scoreline.

    No, I think Tony Bronson would knockout any NBA player should they box anywhere. Kind of a no brainer. Im just puttin things into their correct place. Basketballers shoot hoop, boxers try to knock you out. Really simple not to get twisted.

    Nah, James Johnson is in the NBA and he's a undefeated kickboxer and mixed martial artist. He'd probably wax ol Tony Johnson.

    I’m talking about global mainstream sports and although ice hockey can sometimes be boring it’s one of mainstream sports .

    If you can comprehend the context you should understand that we were talking boxing and basketball. NBA is for basketball and Anthony Joshua is for boxing ok. Im happy to reiterate that lol.

    MMA? um lol James Johnson the world heavyweight MMA champion? is he a champion like AJ? never seen him fight lol.

    i can see why you think its mainstream, but really, its not. You just live in a place where its perceived and projected as mainstream. ice hockey in on freesports over here, and thats it....but i have no trouble with it being mainstream in other places.
