    Need to see the chin tested before I pass judgement.

    Got the skills to attack. His defense may be lacking.
    We'll see.

    He might have David Price like motions when he gets hit on the face.
    His legs might be ready to Jive.

    Don't like his defense so far, but he's going to be a force for years

    The points have been covered- his defense is leaky and chin untested. I add that his stamina is a question.

    Still, he is not an obvious fraud like Wilder as he is fighting good competition for his development level, and he certainly looks the part so far.

    Good luck to him.

    Because he suffered knockdowns against Harold Scoiners and morbidly obese Dustin Nichols (I know it was called a slip, but it was an obvious knockdown).

    Subsequently, he has been matched with fighters of little to no power, and a vast majority of the boxing community believes that they still fixed the fight with Scott, who is Wilder's good friend and coming off of a similar controversial stoppage.

    Also, his technique is just plain sorry with bull rushes and windmilling always on display.

    People have been going back and forth about this and I am not really interested in arguing for the obvious. If someone wants to deny that Nichols knocked him down, deny that the Scott fight was at least questionable, or claim his technique to be "slick," they are going to do so and we have heard it all before. The bottom line is that a vast majority of the fans have caught on.

    Great fight. I don't see Jushua being realy hurt in there. His defence seemed really leaky though, being hit buy haymaker.
