    Price has always had big question marks over his chin though even before Thompson got to him. Joshua seems to have a pretty decent chin.

    But until Joshua steps up a level and faces substantial opposition we don't know what level he is. He certainly appears to have potential but that's based on fighting past it journeymen, farmers and doormen. He may be packing glass for all we know

    Price was known to have a bad chin in the amateurs, his chin was all the talk of the doubters here when he was on the rise. On the other hand, Joshua has taken some good punches from some good hitters (obviously with padding and thicker gloves) and kept going. I am not sure what makes you think he is packing gloves, there is no evidence for it.

    Joshua has some good tools but it very raw. His work ethic seems to be good, but who knows how he will turn up. I would like to see him do well, the division needs marquee heavyweights are Wlad retires.

    Joshua vs KJ became a delayment in his career, it should have happened this month at the latest.

    Joshua vs Price or Joshua vs Parker, even Joshua vs T.Thompson are the fights the fans want to see.

    Price has always looked SPASTIC since the beginning of his pro career. He had that big punch, that he wasn't even aware when to throw. Nothing else.

    In what sense? Here's a pic of him and Wlad Klitschko after sparring yesterday, smaller but no means a dwarf I would have thought... and which of the two look more (or less) like they've been in a recent war? :lol:

    Who has Joshua been dropped or stopped by?

    White, who dropped and decisioned him, iirc. Who else?

    What weaknesses has he showed, chin-wise?

    Oh! Didn't know he was that size. For some reasons i tought i had read he's 6'2 or 6'3. He looks a solid 6'4 here. Not short at all.

    And yes, Wlad looks beaten up :blood :admin
