    Not tomorrow he wouldnt. He's still thinking too much before placing his shots. He's also not mixing up the speed and power of his punches yet either.

    Arreola would time him and likely end it.


    However, mixing it up comes with experience. And IMO, by Joshuas 15th fight, he should easily be able to handle the Arreolas and Stivernes of the division.

    I like this kid and consider him a top 5 prospect right now, even with only 2 pro fights.:think

    Well luckily enough you havent missed anything!

    As for your prediction........ Well done Mystic Meg, you make an assumption that a Heavyweight boxer will eventually go on to get Knocked out!

    Dont happen to have next years Lotery numbers in advance do you?

    Sorry but do you remember how hyped Glass Jawed David Price and even Fury were? This is a legit question. I have NO DOUBT Joshua has a Chin that is as fragile as we have ever seen. Only a matter of time.

    It gets old when we keep getting told that {Insert British flavor of the month} is going to be the next Champion etc. That is why we have threads like this. Do you understand that?

    :lol: Lennox is a Brit no matter what you in Canada have to say. he went over there as a 12 year old. London born.

    so that Gold wasn't really Canada's was it? a Brit had to win it for you. :yep

    what flag did Lennox fight under when he turned pro?

    where did he hail from when getting announced at the start of fights?

    that's right, London, England. :good

    Joshua has only been Boxing for about 6 years in total.

    how long had Wlad Boxed for when he reached 24? :think

    :huh Arreola doesn't even have timing. he's genuine crap. he hasn't beaten a top 20 fighter thus far in his career.

    Joshua wouldn't have any trouble if he were to face Chris next. he's made for Joshua in every way. Chris would just take a vicious beating before being stopped in about 4-5 rounds.

    easy work. :deal

    we're in the sewer by my records.

    too many dumb ****s make it that way.

    soon, they'll be saying a fighter is a KO waiting to happen before he's even had his first pro fight. :tired

    if you go back and read, you'll find that in fact, you started it.

    i never mentioned Wlad, nor came even close to doing so. it was all in your head.

    only a few on here hyped Price. most though, knew he had a big question mark on his chin.

    even in the Amateurs he looked shaky.

    Fury is a good fighter, but nothing more than that. he's at least done something in the division. which can't be said for most.

    Joshua is a lot more naturally gifted than those two. it's clear to see that. BUT, we have to wait to see just how good he's going to be. it's far too early to be making any predictions on him.

    You say you never mention Wlad, yet you can't seem to stop talking about him. I think you have an unhealthy obsession. Wlad is a great champ though, who has never been knocked out, so I can understand why you are so fascinated.
