Imagine Luke Campbell v Mitchell Smith in 2015

Campbell would box his head off

 

Mitchell is 21 years old and Campbell is 26, despite Campbell's outstanding amateur credentials i think Mitchell has more potential and will go further. The fact that Campbell is still fighting the likes of Moises in his 5th fight is hardly promising, the same Moises that a one handed 20 year old Smith beat last year all be it through injuries and pain.

Not impressed with any of the Matchroom Olympians, for what ever reason British Olympians or medal winners never seem to become truly World Class apart from Amir Khan and that was more down to him turning Pro at 18 which gave him time to overcome his amateur habits.

I honestly think Boxnations stable of fighters are more likely to produce more World Champions then from Sky's Matchrooms lot. I'm talking about: Carl Frampton, Mitchell Smith, Chris Eubanks jr, Tyson Fury, Hughie Fury, Paul Butler, Frank Buglioni, Derek Chisora, Billy Joe Saunders, Frankie Gavin, Josh Leather, Thomas Stalker, Gary Corcoran, Terry Flanagan, Liam Walsh, Kid Galahad(tba), Kevin Satchell, Liam Smith, Joe Selkirk, Nathan Cleverley and Tony Conquest.

To me the differences are reflected in someone like George Groves and James Degale. Both turned Pro at more or less the same time, one was a gold medalist and the other a decent domestic amateur but he adapted to the Pro game better then Degale has and is definately far more entertaining too.

Also there seems to be a lot of Matchroom boxers who are either possibly or definately on the Juice: Anthony Joshua, Kell Brook, Ricky Burns, Tony Bellew, Carl Froch, Lee Purdy, Kevin Mitchell and Scott Quigg.

 

Because they fight on Boxnation does not make them part of a "Boxnation stable".

I honestly think you are borderline ******ed.

 

Why do you think Joshua is on juice?

 

If you have any experience of bodybuilding gyms, you just get to know which guys are juicing just by looking at them and Joshua has the "look".

Post his pics on Bodybuilding forums and they'll tell you absolutely he is.

 

Hes one of them mongaloids

 

why read that list and pick out joshua?

x - what about the rest? they don't look like body builders.

 

Wonder if his carer knows he's on this forum? Bloke's an absolute lunatic.

 

Some of his posts this week have nearly made me soil myself

 

I'm sure you soil your y-fronts on a regular basis without the use of my posts.

It's sweet though that the tweedle dee and tweedle dum of this forum are trying to put their one combined brain cell together and come up with insults...nice try fellas but don't strain that brain cell too much else it'll explode.

 

His had that physique since his been about 20 so I think its a stretch of the imagination to believe his on steroids, some people just have ridiculous genetics. Also they have regular drug test on high level amateur boxers and he would have had to go through lots of testing at the Olympics so I don't see how he would have been on steroids and never have been caught in the amatuers.

 

because the rest of them have been pros for a while and are all older, Joshua is younger and seemed to have that physique when he started boxing. Also he got through his whole amateur career and the Olympic drug testing without being caught taken anything so I would be very shocked if he was on anything

 

Don't presume just because an athlete get's tested at the Olympics they're clean. Lance Armstrong only got caught when one of his team mates busted him but he passed numerous tests over a 10 year period and came out clean. I'm sure he was just the tipping point of potentially thousands of others athletes in different sports.

Most Athletes take synthetic or designer steriods that get cycled through their bodies months before they take part in any tournament and the effects of the drugs become almost untraceable within hours of them entering their blood stream.

I would like to see pictures of Joshua between 16-20 to see if he was a freak of nature like you suggest but i doubt he was, you can tell his body is almost too big for his frame and out of proportion which is the class steriod look.

Someone like Mike Tyson is the classic freak of genetics you're talking about, he had the same body mass and proportions at 16 that he had at 20 when he become World champion.

 

Id prefer to give him the benefit of the doubt, considering he took up boxing so late, one of the reasons he was able to achieve so much in such a short time as an amateur was to do with his size,strength and speed for a big man as his still hasn't developed great technique. So if he is on steroids and that's the reason for his size then most have been taken steroids when he just started boxing at 18. what percentage chance would you give to Joshua being on steroids?. Also I believe that Joshua's muscle mass is going to have terrible effects on his stamina and that his stamina will be his greatest weakness in the future
