    He wasn't given opportunities during his true prime. You know that.

    No. Joshua has a better jab and command of the ring, better punch selection, and a better defence. Tommy was a bit faster and more explosive, but he was prone to switching off and had trouble with taller fighters. Foreman's slow ass jab caused him all sorts of problems alone.

    Joshua's got his weaknesses of course, but overall he's a much more rounded fighter.

    just as you know that you suddenyyl worked out he only wasnt given opportunities during his true prime the second after he koed prime wladdie easily.

    talk about a hatchjob on history...two minutes of waldo getting wiped out forced you to rewrite someones entire 20 year career, to try and pretend it wasnt waldo.

    considering that he was a stupid enough man to believe that his HIV got magically cured or never even existed, and dumb enough to try to enter the ring with the possibilty he could pass it on to his opponent, he was probably dumb enough to entertain the wrong kind of partners who had been around for money.
