Anthony Joshua is a terrible overrated stiff with a glass jaw

    Haye will knock out Joshua in a couple rounds.

    If ever there was a typical ESB thread title, it was this. I'm only disappointed the word "exposed" didn't make it in there.

    Like Joshua he was an undefeated prospect. It's never a bad thing when 2 unbeaten prospects put it on the line. Respect is due.

    Stop making ****ty attention seeking threads.

    Do you think he will get sparked by 3 journey men? .

    To my knowledge neither did Wlad. 2 losses were he punched himself out and one were he was truly beaten. 1 loss early to a journeyman, the other 2 losses in world title fights.

    If Saunders and Brewster are classed as journeymen them you can also add Rahman and McCall as journeyman. SMH...

    Last night's fight proved that Joshua has a fair bit to go to be true top level like the casuals are saying he is.

    He is a top prospect but the hype he is getting regarding him just walking through elite fighters is embarrassing. It reminds he of the Haye hype.

    Joshua won't be fighting any of these opponents for at least 18 months so why even talk about if it was a better opponent.

    It's not a better opponent because he's been a professional for a few ****ing years. Jesus christ some of you are re****ed.

    He's still raw (obviously, he hasn't been boxing that long) but the potential seems to be there. Sometimes boxers get tagged and sometimes they get hurt, that's normal. This fight would have been a great learning experience for him.

    I think people are exaggerating when talking about Joshua's stiffness, lack of head movement and stamina. If you watch the fight again, it wasn't too bad at all for a guy his size.

    Anthony Joshua has a number of things that need to be changed.
    If his team spots them, and they work on it then sure, he's going to become a seriously good fighter.

    He got hit clean by Dillian Whyte who is a very good puncher, don't forget that. If anything, he proved his chin isn't as bad as we originally thought.
    It's this type of experience that AJ soaks in like no other. The majority of Joshua's vulnerabilities were made clear tonight.
    He is too muscular for his own good. It's easier for a Klitschko with muscle because Klitschko has a bigger frame and manipulates the fight to be incredibly slow paced.

    Eric Molina badly rocked Wilder, what's your point this is heavyweight boxing.

    His terrible footwork will be his undoing.

    More polished fighters will run rings around him in the ring.

    So many experts, it's overwhelming!

    The point many are missing is that this was not a normal fight for Anthony Joshua, the bad blood between these two was not pre-fight hype to sell tickets!

    From the very first second Joshua just wanted to stand in front of this guy and destroy him.
