Bigger Hype Job AJ or Prince Naseem ?

Wilder was hypes by many on here as a top 2 HW.

 

You can't call individuals who held multiple belts defending them over several years hype jobs.
Joshua lost to the most skilled in the division at least had the balls to take the fight and to try and avenge the loss. he just wasn't good enough.
He still beats everyone else other than Fury in the division.
As for the Prince I always felt his unorthodox style would come unstuck against an elite Mexican and that's exactly what happened but he still beat many ranked fighters of the time.

 

Naseem Hamed fought again after the Barrera loss

 

Compared to the USA, who don't seem to have any elite HW's anymore.

 

This.

We all knew it would be a difficult task for AJ taking the re-match with Usyk, Joshua would probably admit it himself, but he got his arse back in there and gave it a go, and you have to respect and give him credit for that, unlike Naz who got schooled by MAB and didn't have the cahones to avenge it.

 

Doesn't matter.

What I said holds true.

 

"I was a pretty good fighter. But it was the writers who made me great". - Jack Dempsey

 

So in that sense do you view Lennox Lewis the same way?

Lost most of the rounds to Vitali, said he definitely wanted the rematch and then retired? Did Lennox just "give up" the same way Hamed did in your view?

I tend to think that when fighters retire after a tough fight its because they have given everything they could to the sport, no longer possess the desire/fire inside and don't want parkinsons in their future.

 

Naz was a much better fighter than Aj in his prime and still with the Ingles
