If Eddie had of pulled fighters out of purse bids at the 11th hour, 5 times…Simon and Spencer would be spitting venom about it! Such hypocrites
Facts 💯
Simon’s on the payroll
It is shameful
ĞAQ11Q😊😊😊😊A
I use to like this podcast but it’s so biased towards Shalom & Sky that it’s embarrassing! Simon needs to take his tongue out of shalom’s backside! They need to keep it impartial!
AJ goes from "flat-track bully" to "all time great" in 6 months? Ladies and gentlemen I give you... Si Jordan🤦🏼♂️
Anthony Joshua is the world Leftover Champion. He has been fighting leftovers of Wilder, Fury and Whyte😂
@@Anthony_Joshua-s_Irish_Grandmayou do know Joshua fought whyte before fury donr you 😂😂 your a genius 😂😂
@@Anthony_Joshua-s_Irish_Grandma Which leftovers?
@@SworBeyE16 All of Femi's fights since losing to Usyk have been against leftovers of Wilder, Fury and Whyte
@@Anthony_Joshua-s_Irish_Grandma The re-building fights sure. Joshua dealt with Franklin, Wallin and Ngannou better than Whyte and Fury. In fact Joshua has stopped every common opponent he has with Fury
Lennox is a three time HW Champion, not two time.
That's what I was about to post. He was champ then lost it to McCall, became champ by beating Holyfield, then lost and then regained the titles against Rachman didn't he.
And on a completely different level to any of today’s fighters.
Although the first title he never won in the ring? That may be why he’s officially only classified as a 2 time…….(even though I think prime Lewis trumps all of todays fighters)
Lewis was also undisputed last fighter to it before the new 4 belt era .
So annoying when you know more than people that a being paid to get their facts straight isn’t it
What a biased show! Its ridiculous how they are trying to say Boxxer pulling out the purse bids was a stroke of genius. This is the issue with boxing
Jordan could not tie Andy Clarke’s shoe laces.
Fury goes on as many late night shows as possible, Jordan “let me tickle those balls Tyson” AJ appears on one, Jordan “I have to question his mind set as it can be a distraction” haha
kind a racism
U + 🧠 = 🪨
Really isn't racism
Wow the shalom and sky bias from ts continues 😂 - he pulled out because matchroom won the purse bid and sky don’t want there fighters on another platform you two are clowns
Which fight you referring to? Purse bids didn’t happen for any did they
* would have won then… lol you know what he means
@@jackshepherd8965 talk facts … no saying MR would’ve won
Definitely saying matchroom would’ve won why else would Ben pull all his fighters? Even if they lose it’s not as big of a deal as long as the fight was entertaining and most importantly ON SKY… there’s no point only with dealing with facts in this world you have to discuss hypotheticals too when analysing situations r u artistic or something? 😂😂
@@jackshepherd8965 I’m not saying he isn’t saying that, I’m saying it’s not a sure thing MR would’ve won the purse bids. He pulls his fighters because he’s not confident they will beat the other, not just the risk fights aren’t on Sky.
It's a joke Daniel dubois gets not 1 but 2 title shots🤷♂️never beat anyone to warrant it.
He is awful
I predicted that Anthony Joshua would Hrgovic. Now no 1 ranked Hrgovic is fighting Daniel Dubois for the IBF vacant belt and no 2 ranked Anthony Joshua is real quiet😂
Pathetic shameful
How does Dubious get a shot at the title when he's ranked behind AJ?.Shouldn't it be AJ vs Hrgovic for the vacant title
@@sportsfan7460 I think this tells you that AJ next fight is the winner of Usyk v fury rematch clause or not. If the Saudis want it they will get it
A pair of Boxxer apologists and excusers who are being disingenuous by not telling the truth about their ongoing relationship with Shalom and their agenda against Hearn and Matchroom
The TalkSPORT Ben Shalom and Boxxer defending is absolutely ridiculous. Spencer take on Frazer Clarke “never ever ever ever” getting a draw with Wardley had he not fought 10 rounds with Marius Wach should disqualify him from ever ever ever being hired as an “expert” pundit ever again
I used to like this podcast but the bias against Matchroom and AJ has put me off
Spencer’s need for approval from daddy Simon is both cringe and sad
Simon Jordan calling AJ a flat track bully once 😂 it is a line he has used most times AJ is brought up in discussions
Anthony Joshua was caught bullying and threatening university students😂
I don't get how AJ can be seen as an all time great if he wins a third title. The only reason is was 2 time by winning initially against Charles Martin. Lost to Ruiz and won the second on the rematch against a very out of shape Ruiz. And he could win the third against Filip Hrgovic 🤷🏻 not exactly an illustrious list
Thing is though he’s fought everyone that he could in his era with established names. Klitschko Povetkin whyte Parker not saying that they were all in there prime but if you take the first Ruiz first fight as a fluke or maybe a one off he’s only been beating by Usyk - who will go down as all time great and might just be the best of them all. Apart from Fury which everyone wants who else can he fight. If he did beat wilder everyone says Fury ruined wilder and Parker beat him so can’t win
@jambo1808 facts, of the modern heavyweights out there AJ and Joseph Parker have the best resumes in the division having fought top guys consistently in their careers. Is AJ, Fury or Wilder greats? No. Do they deserve the HOF treatment? No. But AJ does deserve his respect having fought top guys of his era and more than many of the other boxers out there in the division.
The 3 worse heavyweight champs ever
AJ made $85M during his rebuilding phase
Everybody should be very thankful to AJ for the nights of entertainment he has provided over the years.
@BigAlCapwn 0 seconds ago The irony of a man who had a fairly successful mobile phone business in a world of Carphone Warehouses and Phones 4u's, then owned Crystal Palace in the time of Man Utds and Arsenals, neither of whom could lay a glove on their opponents, calling other people a "flat track bully" flat-track bully in British English informal. noun. a person who dominates inferior opposition, but who cannot beat top-level opponents. Collins English Dictionary.
Since when did Specers ears get there own lighting 😂🤣
Great chat lads 🇬🇧
Andy Clarke was commentating and called it as he saw it. He should be able to make a comment.
Simon Jordan criticising Andy Clarke tells you that he knows absolutely nothing about boxing. He’s one of the best commentators in the game.
HARLEM hasnt even signed the fight and Dalton is selling out thousands. Azim hasnt done that. This podcast is literally a Boxxer Showcase hour.
5:32 SJ fuming. Look at his eye twitching
There's only 3 fights left for joshua realistically 2 against fury and one against usyk
We already saw Usyk beat him (((convincingly))) twice back to back.
Usyk embarrassed AJ twice. Anthony Joshua should fight Ruiz. Ruiz dropped him 4 times and made him quit in the first fight😂
@@Anthony_Joshua-s_Irish_Grandmaand aj schooled him in the second fight and gave him a lesson in what it means to be a disciplined boxer. Ruiz hasn’t done anything to deserve a rematch other than be a slob. Aj was rocked by Ruiz & never recovered but if he’d have had the experience of a long amateur career he’d have known to have been more evasive & gave himself a chance to recover….. aj is a better boxer than Ruiz no doubt about it….. an aj vs Parker rematch, now that’s a great fight that’s deserved.
Nar Hrgovic… Fury … then maybe one more pending the result of that
@@Anthony_Joshua-s_Irish_Grandmanahh, yrs ago yh i would've welcomed the trilogy wid ruiz, but ruiz hasnt been serious ever since the defeat and has fought twice in 5 yrs. He doesn't deserve any opportunities when he ignored the ones handed to him like bouts against fury and wilder. He aint even in the top 15 anymore lol
Simon is great! Giving AJ his pops!!
8:17 Simon's Fury impression sounded more like Tommy Cooper 😂😂
Ben Shalom being classified as a "genius" for pulling out the purse bid is a but much. It played out well at the end of the day. Spencer means well but needs to slow down and digest what he wants to spit out. Come on Spence!
Really enjoy this show when Simon is on holiday. Unwatchable when not.
On the subject of boxing greats,many said that if Fury could come back and win a world title that they would have to consider him “great” but they forget they said it
AJ might do like 4-5 more fights and say a goodbye to boxing. I’ll support his decision 100% because one needs his health intact after this dangerous sport call boxing. I only wish he can beat Fury and revenge his loss to Usyk before the curtain is drawn. He’ll remained loved even in retirement. He’s a good sportsman
AJ might become the only 3 time heavyweight champion who's never held the Ring Magazine belt
There's still a chance, if he can beat the winner of fury & usyk. It's a big ask, but as i say, there is always a chance.
@@Factsoverfeelingspeople if Fury beats Usyk he'll become only the 2nd heavyweight ever to win the Ring Magazine belt 3 times!! Now that is damn impressive
@@michaelroberts5680 Is that because he ‘retired’ ?
@@HuwEvans. No you win it by beating the current number 1 🤦
@@michaelroberts5680 It’s because he retired mate 🤣
Calling Ben shalom genius 😂 my god. How was frazer not ready but then was after facing wach😂 this is hilarious the amount of craps these two spout.
Simon talks like Joshua has something to prove to him. AJ already done himself proud and had an amazing career wtf
*…welcome back *simon, i missed your thoughts >>>
Brilliant watch. 🥊🥊🥊
Huw BURNER Evans STILL talking about Smith Azim. The fight isnt happening 🥴🥴🥴🤡🤡🤡
You gotta admire him though Stu, the little virgin tries hard 😂
@@ashleywilliams2561 at least you are funny with your posts, Huw is totally deluded wasting his sad life on YT
@@BigStuCorbyI think it’s a bot. If not he’s semi autonomous
@@JD-re3cj he is a bot ? 🤣🤣
Pull the fighters earlier, rather than at late notice. There is no need to hold things up by dragging it out when everyone knows you are going to do it but cant make official plans until you do
No comment on the fight in Manchester last week no? 🤔
Spencer Oliver “ What a stroke of genius by Ben shalom” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
None of the fans agree with Shalom’s purse-bid antics. All good and well, the fight turned out to be a banger but Shalom’s antics are a disgrace. Same again with the Dalton Smith - Adam Azim saga.
Lennox Lewis 3 time world champion, 2 time Lineal and Undisputed. Vitali Klitschko 3 time, Moorer 3 time, Holyfield 3 time, 4 time if you include the WBA shenanigans with Ruiz. Ali 3 time.
The problem I have with all this pulling fighters out is why put them in a position where they are called to fight these guys when they're not ready?
IF he is then good, let's get to a point where the next gen who need fights to progress come through. Same with Fury.
None of ben Whittaker fighters believe there being disrespected then u got someone who never boxed before setting the scene on ppl to hate on him well done Simon
I dont think clarke and wardley should have a rematch just now. Both have another few fights build it up give each fighter a break. As the lads said its took 10 years off there lifes
Neither of you could hold a candle to Andy Clarke so wind your necks in
7:20 - Tyson Fury is not the lineal champion, Simon. Lennox retired as lineal champion and the line cannot be remade unless a new undisputed champion is crowned. Fury beat Wlad, but Wlad was never undisputed therefore he wasn't the lineal champ.
Lol ur clueless
Simon advising Boxxer really does say it all about his boxing knowledge to be fair
It wasn't genius at all by Ben Shalom, Spencer can be disappointing sometimes.. Shalom pulled him because he would of lost the bid, and it would have been on DAZN, if you can't see that then i don't know what to tell ya.
Viddal cracks his rib and all people wanna talk about is that he didnt bring it to Lawal - obviously if that keeps happening then fair enough but before he was too eager for the KO getting him into possibly dangerous situations and messing up his work coming in and now he played too safe bc of a cracked rib - It was a dominant performance and he got the win it just wasnt what you wanted and I can guarantee when Viddal starts ramping it up and his following gets even bigger you'll be all over him.
Simon put himself in an invidious position with the “I don’t want the back story” comment We all learnt something, but more importantly, so did Simon
The term 2/3/4 time heavyweight champion doesn’t really mean anything as it means they lost a few times and have to re win it.. it should be based on how many world championship fights one had instead.
Course it does you have answered your own question, to come back again after a loss and regain ur titles goes to show a boxers ability to adapt and learn. Look at ali format ect all-time greats recaptured the hw titles
Exactly. If Wilder kept losing to his opponents, then winning in the rematch, he'd be 5x world champion
Once FURY retires he will fill his days by 👃 ❄
He does anyway mate
@@RIBZ85 true
AJ does not like fighting in Saudi under Frank Warren, it makes him angry which is what he needed back in his game, 85mill for last few fights is now just a number, with Ben Davison as his trainer sorting some of his boxing mindset and fundamentals I think he can beat Usyk if thats the fight that materialises.
Aj wanna mess someone up. All that Dubios sparring is what joshua is gonna use to school that kid
There is so many better boxers than the heavyweights yet here we are again talking about guess who
How does Dubois have a shot at the vacant IBF title over AJ? Isn't Dubois below AJ in the rankings?
Dubois has not got a snowballs chance in hell of beating hergovic. He crawled across the line with millar. He will be finished within a few years. Zero headmovement bad footwork and is a quitter.
Fury 2 time world champion 2 time ring magazine, won every belt there his
Defended one belt three times.
I dont understand why they arnt talking about the undisputed why do they keep going on about aj when we have the main fight coming up AJs last five fights I’d say wardley or Clarke would beat them yet aj is getting all this attention
That's because AJ is the face of British boxing, despite not currently holding a championship title. There's less interest in Fury vs. Usyk than there was for AJ vs Ngannou. Apart from hardcore boxing fans like myself, I haven't heard anyone talking about Fury vs Usyk. AJ is the face of British boxing, which is why he has the largest following and is the only heavyweight on the Forbes list. Deal with it
@@DavidGoldXhe is relatable and easier to market than fury. Tyson finally showed his true colours and has zero interest in fighting aj. He knew the court of arbitration would demand the wilder rematch and still proceeded to offer a fight that could never happen. Know a few traveller lads and they do not like the furys
@@DavidGoldX you are right even if you don’t like fury I feel like usyk is massively disrespected by mainstream media saying things like aj is the man to beat when he’s been beat twice by usyk I don’t get that
Aj has won the heavyweight championship 4 times already you all keep forgetting Charles Martin Vladimir klitschko Joseph Parker Andy Ruiz get your facts right lads
They act like AJ being a 2 time HW champion (by losing then regaining the belts) is better than if he’d beaten Ruiz in NY. It really does matter how you become champion (first, second or third time). Fury beat Wlad in Germany and Wilder in 🇺🇸. Huge fan and he’s phenomenal and will probably beat Fury but I’m perplexed how anyone can say how you become 2-time or more doesn’t matter.
Great show, guys, but let's talk about frazer Clark kept spitting his gum shield out. Was it cheating? What do you think
Apologies guy's. Didn't Benn pass all of the bboc representatives UKAD tests. Too much politics i am so confused. UKAD not fit for purpose, or he's a cheat. Bad times. 🥊🥊🥊
Ita the bbboc thats messing it up
Lennox Lewis was 3 times . He won it for the second time against Oliver McCall and the third time agains Rahman.
only one person will be all time great, and it will be fury with zero losses on his card and all the belts in may.
If your fighter isn't ready ! I'd imagine you know before the day of a purse bid
Simon should just shup up, you are the only one that keeps making reference to a speech that was insignificant and long gone.
In your opinion
@@dondappapumpumslappa8051 Did you assume I was speaking your opinion ? No mate.
@@Fortune1444 4 days ago no likes its safe to say nobody cares about your opinion do they kid made a right fool of yourself there but im guessing that's quite common for u
@dondappapumpumslappa8051 keep measuring your life achievement with how many likes you get on the Internet, shows what an empty life you have.
So match room Have had big cards this past weekend but all you can talk about is Benn - talksport is so against anyone but sky sports it’s unbelievable
Heavyweight boxing dies when AJ retires, real sad day for boxing! AJ is criminally underrated and under appreciated
Casual lol
AJ is a bum. Got his Olympic gold because of home town. Has not beaten anybody except a over the hill Klitschko and you call him underrated????
hes a black drug dealer from watford he wont be missed at all
@@gfdffdfg1102If AJ is a bum what does that make everyone below him which is 95% of the heavyweights Lmao
@@kieranhudson4938aj is a black quitter
To be a multiple time world champion say one of two things…. 1. You lost belts in the ring 2. You vacated belts or were inactive…. Unless Joshua beats Usyk twice, can he really be considered a great, alongside Holyfield etc.?
Holyfield lost to Riddick Bowe twice. Does that mean he’s not a great?
Agreed… maybe, maybe not
@@petewood3493 Holyfield is definitely a great. Losses are part of the sport.
@@HuwEvans. Edit Huw been busy on Google. He has no clue about boxing and doesn't even listen to any of the posts
No. AJ is a bum. Nrotosh hyped bum.
He hasn't fought the same calibre as years gone bye however he has lifted boxing to new heights since he burst onto the scene. He does not get the credit because the opponents are crap top to bottom
I had dinner with Conor Benn he’s a lovely chap
I think Flip will drop Joshua tbh
Jordan going for Andy Clarke is comical, all things considered.
Still talking about egg man
Lennox Lewis - unsurpassable resume - Junior World Championship Gold 1983, Commonwealth games Gold 1986, Olympic Gold 1988, 2x North American Championships Gold 1985 & 1987, Pan American Games Silver 1987, World cup silver 1985, 5x Canda championship Gold. PROFESSIONAL CAREER- British champion, European champion, Commonwealth champion, 3x WBC, 2x IBF, 2x IBO, WBA, IBC, 2x Lineal, Ring Magazine and was Undisputed champion 1999. Retired 2004.
Trying to be judge and jury Get over it man and Spencer Oliver is a yes man!
The last time AJ tried to prove Fury wrong he failed, Fury said AJ cant box and AJ tried to show Fury he could and lost to Usyk twice trying to outbox him. He is mentally fragile. Thats why Eddie can easily manipulate AJ into be loyal. Haney exposed AJ. Loyalty cost him undisputed for years
Lennox was 3 times world champion!
It showed Congo was way a better boxer but he exposed Marku's limitations
At least we can all agree, AJ will retire once and stick to it. Fury's retired about 12 times . AJ is a proper man 💪👍
the comment crowd have turned on you guys recently 😅 it's time to bring back the cob ra
Jordanite = Top LAD Proper Clobber 💯 Facts
Is nt three time meaning u lost to reclaim?
Why do they still talk about fury like he is the be all and end all and not uysk
Shaloms stroke of genius 🤣🙈 Spencer you're a grown man. Grow a pair or 🥚🥚
Simon has lost it lately on the boxing. He's done a 180 on AJ based on him beating a few second rate fighters. They are talking like he beat Usyk and is lining up an undisputed fight before he retires! Gimme a break.
AJ is a gimmick. Until he fights a top 5 HW im not interested. I expect he has a 5th confidence builder then another warm up ready for his tune up 🤦♂️ Furys fault im guessing 😂
AJ WILL KO TF……. without doubt ….. TF resume is laughable…..
...........ooooooh
are you joking? you are a total fanboy, have you forgot TF fought Seferi then Pianeta!.... back to back!
@@jmarsh5485 AJ fought Franklin and then Helenius back to back that's just as bad 🤣🤣🤣
Aj knocks fury out 3rd round 😮
Lennox Lewis a 3 time heavyweight champion
I find it repugnant the amount of excuses and qualifying which is provided for Benn's drug abuse. It should be a lifetime ban.
Joshua is not ali😊get ur fact right lennox was 3 time world championi
Can we all agree on no more Benn talk
Can simon go back on holiday
This era is relatively poor quality. And losing three times in this era isn’t great either. It’s an excellent achievement but not anywhere near top 10 heavyweights of all time
2 of the losses were to Usyk though. If Usyk beats Fury he will legit be one the GOATs of the sport so there'd be no shame to have losses to him on your record.
Frazier Clarke boxed Fabios head off
Not gonna be 3 times champ aj. As usyk is the man
Eubank is gonna hurt him
