This whole situtiation might look like David Price fiasco all over again if you are a hater but I think Brits were just trolling with poor Price... He looks like real fighter to me. 250 lbs steaming muscle. MAN...:bbb
Watch Lennox Lewis when he was Joshua's age, they don't look that different, if anything Lewis looks wilder and more reckless
It will be intresting to follow him these next couple of years for sure. I really think he can become something special!
Jushua is very robotic and has very slow hand speed. Lennox Lewis is one of the most athletic heavyweights in history. There is no comparison. Lennox Lewis also hits way harder than Jushua.
Didn't see his last fight yet, but was able to watch his first couple. Of course they were against entry level competition, he has what appears to be all the athletic and physical tools to be a champion in the future. Hope he doesn't follow the Wilder route of 31 fights against nobody's or over the hill types
I agree that Lewis is faster, and may have the edge in power. But look at lewis at a similar stage in his career to where Joshua is now, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izLN7wlHOHg I'm not saying I think Joshua will be better, we don't know about his chin, or how he will deal against a quality opponent. But if you compare them both when they are about 5 fights into their career, there is not such a big difference as you might expect.
It really is hard to gauge him right now. I would like to see him against a more durable opponent next, someone who can pose a few problems without perhaps being too dangerous.
Joshua v Skelton in July should be more of a test than last night but it's still too early to say for sure how far he can go.
Hard to make up anything with the level of opposition he had thus far. Every world level former amature would have levelled these guys without much trouble. Purely record padding and showcase fights until now. Let's see how he fairs against a guy that can hit back and has a couple of tricks up his sleeve, then we know more.
you are going of that should not be in same ring its a joke gold medallist should not start at that level learnt a lot from that a joke
I remember David Price hyped up like this as well, how he was only 18 months away from being ready for the Klitschko's, and then Tony T done him twice and he's now forgotten.
That's the whole point. Joshua isn't even fighting guys near the level of Price's cannonfodder before the crash and somehow they're all over him. I also stopped hearing about Huggie "breaking Mike Tyson's record" Fury's skill and power after his recent couple of fights.
