    Someone talk to me about this kid? Iv not seen any footage of him yet. Seems like a big guy though. Super heavy who goes around 6ft 6? Any ideas on his weight? Style? etc

    Weight looks around 240, in shape, pretty fluid, nice power etc

    Like you I haven't seen too much but look like he's got plenty of potential

    Yeah on stats alone my immediate thought is wow. I read the kid ran the 100m in 11 seconds at age 15!!?!?!?! So he's definitely a natural athlete. When i saw him on Ringside dude looked huge. I hope he turns out to be more than what Audley was.....That shouldnt prove too hard...:yep

    Anthony Agogo..sp*

    Will come out of the Olympics, as the number 1 British boxer.

    He has the style, image, and flare....

    To be the middle weight David Haye.

    He will be what James Degale is trying to be!

    In a way Audley may have done him a favour because people will probably assume he will be another fraudley lol

    I've seen bits and pieces, Raw, Very Raw. What's achieved so far is frankly amazing and if he knuckles down like he seems to he will do great things starting at this Olympics.

    I saw a lot of him on the amateur circuit three our so years ago, being in the home counties we always meet london in the second round of aba competition so I saw him box a few times on his way to winning the novices then the aba's.
    He was way too good for anyone in those contests, even after only having a handful of fights.
    He has a pretty pro style, or at least did have then.
    He is tall powerful and for a big dude extremely athletic.
    He is also a double nice geezer, always chatting and very friendly.
    He is a sponsers dream, if he wins gold, he will make millions.

    Interesting. From the little i know he does look like one to watch out for. A 6ft 6 240 athletic heavyweight who is apparently being compared to Lennox Lewis would appear to have Gold medal written all over him :yep
    Oh well i'll be sitting up and taking notes!

    they say he is the hardest working guy in the squad. if hes able to keep that going he gives himself the best shot at fulfilling is undoubted potential.

    Not sure if he'll get gold but he's talented and young so there's no shame if he doesn't.

    If he's working hard and improved then there's no reason why he can't though..

    Dillian Whyte beat him pretty easily including a knockdown.
    Bear in mind Dillian is only 1 1/2 years older but alot less experienced and when he fought Anthony it was Dillians first fight.

    If Anthony Joshua turns Pro after the Olympics this could be a great rematch.

    Just watched a few videos of him on youtube. Can definately see the comparisons with Lewis. His size and style is very reminisent of a young Lennox and looks like he will suit the pro game well.
