    he does look good, is anyone slightly worried he's "overbuilt"?, would like to see how he'll slip and dodge/ block when punchers throw back at him. His stamina's going to be affected carrying around that size going deep into fights at world title level. Think Fury will beat chisora, and Del boy ( who has a good chin) vs joshua next summer around fight 13/14? if it can be made will be a decent test. Definately looks good and has potential. Not a garentued world champion though

    Hes actually not as big as people think, hes just well muscled.

    He basically has the same dimensions as a prime Lewis

    If that happens it will be a huge mistake. He is only 24 years old and big men take a while to develop.

    Smart hmm.Because he beat the 47!!! years old bum Skelton and
    other 7 chickens.
    I think his glass-chinned otherwise.
    Fast? I doubt it.
    Big? Yes a big clumsy target.
    I think his ugly head is hardly smart.He's similar to Wach.
    He(A.Joshua) looks like a HGH buffoon.

    :happy:happy:happy Cheers dude,

    I'm impressed with Joshua, he's in with better competition than most guys with less than 10 fights and hasn't shown many weaknesses yet.

    Some guys I'd like to see him matched with in 2015:

    - Kevin Johnson, who in his 6 losses to V. Klitschko, Hammer, Fury, Hammer, Chisora and Charr, has not been stopped by any of them, or been down.
    - Derric Rossey, who gave Glazkov all sorts of trouble in his last fight.
    - Nagy Aguilera, is fairly durable and tricky and is capable of causing problems
    - Steve Cunningham, is undersize for a HW, but caused problems for Fury and should've beaten Adamek, and will give Joshua's boxing ability a test.

    I think if he goes through those guys, we will get a taste of how good his heart/ chin/ stamina are, and if he comes through with flying colors, he's ready for the best of Britain (Haye, Chisora/ Fury winner) before tackling the world stage.

    Your Welcome:good:yep the Nagy and Rossey I agree with, although not so much with you on Cunningham, he's already been KO'd by Fury and Mansour nearly took his head off and he's getting old, I think he should stick with safer fights before retiring.

    Maybe for Cunningham, but I'm thinking as a matchmaker for Joshua MBE.

    For the record, Cunningham is due to fight unbeaten puncher Natu Visinia next, so may be looking at taking up a career in identifying the hype jobs from the genuine articles.

    Vid or it didn't happen :bart

    Seriously I didn't think he'd get Denis 'Backedoff' Bakhtov out of there this fast. I expected it to be over around round 5/6

    I want to see how he holds up at 5/6 rounds, with his type of build conditioning could be a problem. I think Kevin Johnson is a good fight to make at this stage.
