    Hmmm interesting...

    Tyson sees the size and sheer physicality of AJ and comes out hard and fast with a desperation headbutt, breaking Joshua's nose.

    Joshua fueled by roid rage goes Super Saiyan and smashes Tyson around the ring.

    Tyson in a desperate bid to turn the fight around tries to bite Joshua's ear while in a clinch but realises he's too short to reach AJ's immaculate lobes, so clamps his teeth tightly around AJ's left nipple.

    Joshua screams out in pain but suddenly flexes his left pec brutally KOing Tyson in the clinch and in doing so invents the infamous "Pec Shot".

    And Joshua also said when asked about fighting Mike Tyson

    “Tyson would’ve battered me”

    you can ask Mike if he would beat some flyweights and he would say 'um, i dunno man theyre very skillfull' He never says that he would beat anyone. Also, AJ cannot box like Lennox. AJ would be a sitting duck for Mike.

    Tyson drowns him. It's not even up for debate.

    Oh of course, maybe myself as a mw sized msn literally "could beat Aj"
    That has just as much merit as Tucker competing with Aj.

    The Aj trolling has become out of control. Every living human literally "can" beat Aj just like Aj could beat Tyson without using any god given talent.

    You guys trying to compare Aj to Bruno tells everyone how your talent and skills gauging is.

    Both big powerful British hw, must have the same talent.

    If any of you.seen bruno throughout his career, hell all you need is to watch his losses. .
    Aj has a granite chin, heart and mental toughness, all areas Bruno is lacking severely.

    Those are 3 of Aj greatest attributes, and three must have to ever be truly great

    all one needs to look at are the Tyson and lewis losses to realize he has nothing comparable to Aj. There's absolutely nothing outside of being from the same country, having the same skin tone and being boxers that's remotely comparable.

    Aj has the IT factor while bruno never had anything that's imperative to being on that level.

    AJ is truly going to be remembered as an A+ and the most dominate hw.

    Bruno is remembered for exactly what he was, solid B fighter that can complete with the very good fighters and never ever beat a great hw

    Lol, nor had Tyson, but he lost to the ONLY top fighters of his time, lost bad to them and lost to any fighter that fought back during the final decade of his wickedly pathetic over rated very under whelming career.

    Tyson was a solid B fighter at the end out the day.
    Could look like a great fighter vs C/D fighters and turned into a continued bully vs everyone better than B fighters.

    Tyson would be turned into takam takam types vs Aj, that's the reality

    When had Tyson ever beat a talent remotely close to Aj. Oh ya, one of his best wins was Bruno, ****ing bruno.

    Tyson would mentally quit by the 5th round, script his beating and become the stationary punching bag he was known for

    I thought he was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Obviously I knew nothing about boxing as a kid. I had no idea how mentally strong and how much true heart was needed. Both Tyson lacked completely..and NO taking sustained beatings has zero to do with heart, in Tyson case his lack of heart let him early accept defeat and get slapped around

    Seems many are still delusional when rewriting Tyson history.

    He we mentally a midget and physically too small to compete vs the likes of lewis, Aj, wlad, vitali and hell, fury could beat him.

    Buster ****ing douglas treated Tyson like his *****, enough said.

    Again, you base this 'talent' on what? Mike knocked his ageing predecessor spark out in 4 rounds. Joshua went life and death with an even older predecessor and was losing the fight on most cards until the 11th. Old Wlad might even have got a Brit Stoppage in the 7th if he'd been born in Blighty. What a Joshua sucking fanboy you are. Can't wait to see him get knocked out by Parker, Ortiz, Wilder, Povetkin, or any of the up and comers in the pipe.

    Aj is very respectful of past legends, was going to say past greats but Tyson was not great. Having a great name doesn't make one truly great.

    Solid B to B+ that could take a long beating from A fighters

    When had Tyson EVER drown any fighter better than B level ? Tyson has NEVER cine remotely close to beating anyone better than B level.

    B level isn't bad, most champs aren't better than B...A is the best of the best, that's how I view rating fighters.

    Me rating Tyson as B level is men really grading pre prison Tyson. Post prison Tyson was C at best

    Course he could dent it. Why you think big Lennox was cautious with him ? Femi has not proved yet that he could overcome Michael Gerard Tyson of the late 80's, and judging from his fight last night, if he doesn't get bombed out early v Tyson, he'll be the one gassing first !

    Joshua is levels over Bruno so....Tyson under Rooney would have to come in to beat Joshua....one thing i know is studying fighters ( bc i ACTUALLY study them) One thing i said is the Takam fight would tell me more and it reinforces my personal opinion PRIME Tyson would Knock out Joshua.

    I do think Joshua will surpass Tyson though ,i believe the 6'6 athletic talent will show this.

    Most ppl have no idea what it takes and most will never comprehend how to get to levels even on modern era footage and media....very rar;ey can you run into someone who can break down REAL match ups..well im one of those guys and am telling you PRIME Tyson defeats Joshua if they fought RIGHT now.


    joshua WILL surpass Tyson soon ...IF he does progress.( instead of EMPTY points look at actual punches Joshua hit Takam with on the inside ????) ......................................END game!

    My talent gauging doesn't have anything to do with how quickly one knocked anyone out.
    Wlad would knock that holmes into next year with the shots he landed in Aj.

    Most people are usually wrong.
    Wlad scored a kd and won rounds 5,6,7,8.
    Aj scored 3 kd's and won rounds 1,2,3,4,10,11

    That's how my rounds were scored.. LH wasn't a threat at that age back then, the amount of beatings he took left about nothing.

    Wlad the only beating he took was from Aj, his other losses we quick ko losses, not very tough fights. Wlad was a whole different kind beast than that holmes.

    He was the only fighter he beat that was ever a true top fighter at any single point during his career.

    This Tyson myth always haa to come up every time Aj/dw fight. The reasons I'm so high on Aj is because I've seen everything I need to see.

    The beating he took from wlad in rounds 5/6 was unreal that he came back during to win late. His mental toughness was truly great, that shot km the 6, after being out on his feet for over a full minute while wlad continued to land.

    His brain working at a very high level while hurt, that's very rare..That's all time stuff...too many on here are too attached to getting a blow out ko win, what does that really mean, he landed the right shot. They all can, top fighters.

    Digging himself back vs wlad was the final fight I needed to see. His talent is great for 6'6" 250+ lber.. His mental toughness, his heart and courage to what no-one thought could be done.

    Wlad has the greatest offensive ability, from the offensive side, I feel wlad had the greatest weaponry I've ever seen, he didn't have the mindset though. Aj has great offense and the mindset to use it fully.

    Aj has great defense, it's become great, he can avoid any shot, and while hurt he can think.His way through rounds.

    It's more his mental strength, chin and drive to refuse to lose. If Aj had wlad offense, he'd literally be ending everyone's careers.

    Mental strength, chin and win at any cost are his 3 greatest attributes. Tyson had a chin but couldn't ever really regroup after taking too
    You're a total moron, i regards to boxing. Because Tyson best 1 fighter that was great a decade prior, he's the man.

    The difference mental toughness, Aj took bombs from Wlad who had the most lethal offense ever. Being able you think sharply while hurt bad, refusing to lose and having it in him to fight back when he should had been getting an MRI.

    The difference between a Tyson ans Aj is their mind, and the way they handle adversity three complete opposite..

    It's not the talent in his ability, he doesn't have wlad type offensive talent, but the next level below...What he has is the fight and flight like most.

    I don't know if any other could had gotten up from that wlad kd shot after getting pummeled the round before. Getting up and thinking his way through the next couple rounds, building what he needed and attacking.

    Talent is not strictly physical talent, it's the being composed under duress, being your absolute best at your most difficult times.

    Why is my man Tom Brady now being looked at as the greatest NFL player, ever. Not just the greatest qb, greatest player.

    It's because he's his greatest at the most difficult times. Nothing phased him, no matter what.. He's clutch and always makes the right play, not the flasy play, the right play to put km position to win.

    He's less athletic than most linemen, yet his mental toughness is second to non. That's his greatest talent, just like Aj
