Is AJ the most exciting heavyweight since Iron Mike Tyson?

[Fenster]

The comparison was meant with Mike Tyson, obviously.

Fury is better known by the public than the 2012 Olympic gold medal winner? Fury isn't half the draw Joshua is. He has never headlined a venue that holds more than a few thousand.

Joshua just headlined the 02 (15,000 punters) for a Commonwealth title fight against an opponent that most "hardcore" fans wouldn't have known and has now sold out the 02 (20,000 tickets) in mere hours for a British title fight (and is so popular with the casual fans it will be PPV).

Er yes he has.

He was the main fight on the Excell arena dhow that 20,000 went to

Eubank jr-Billy Joe sold that card. His fights either side were in a half empty Copperbox (which holds 7000) and a 85% empty O2.

Talking of which, Eubank Jr has been quiet of late.

Ah now come on, your stipulation was that hes never headlined a big show and he has so haha I win!

Wuite a few on here were of the thinking that Chisora was now in shape and he was going to batter Fury. Quite how most on here are totally writing Fury off against Wlad.

You will see petal

Mods, can we change the name of the thread please

I don't see the AJ comparison with Bruno. Maybe in the beginning but not now. He's not just improving - loosened up - with experience but you can see the confidence oozing (lol at using that word) out of him.

you changed it wrong @Fenster

it should have been - Is AJ more exciting than Mike tyson or is Mike Tyson more exciting than AJ?

I don't think i'll ever see another heavyweight as fearsome as prime Tyson but AJ isn't doing a bad job for this era.

Put AJosh in with Tyson's first 18 or what ever opponents and he would have knocked them all out
