Exactly! Not many at all is there, being a great mover is not vital to being a great heavyweight champion.
Joshua isn't fleet of foot but neither was Bowe. Bowe was always easy to hit at every stage of his short career and he never tasted power of the kind AJ brings to the table. He was due to fight one guy who had a similar punch but he shamelessly ducked by dumping his title in the garbage.
how can you compare anthony joshua with only 17 pro fights aginst rid**** bowe ???? you cant....but if you comapre rid**** bowe first 17 pro fights v anthony joshuas first 17 pro fights ...anthony joshua has the better resume
Incorrect. Joshua beat nobody that was better than Lionel Butler and Bowe beat him when he was 0-0-0. And two of AJ's 17 fights have been championship fights whicj makes it even worse. Compare AJ'S first 3 years , in which it took him to beat those 17 skid marks to Bowe's first 3 years. Bowe only took 12 months to run through his 17 bums. By 3 years he had beaten Thomas, Biggs , Tubbs, Seldon , Copper , Coetzer and undefeated top 10 ATG Holyfield.
If you had any knowledge on boxing you would know that Bowe was the victim of the worst case of nut shotting in the sports history. Why do you post about things you know nothing about? :huh
None. But Bowe didn't need large gaps to cycle off his course of roids to be able to beat those bums.
Dino makes a good point. Bowe fought more. A lot more. Bowe got through his first 17 fights in little over a year. Joshua has been slowly padding his resume for years now while simultaneously improving in the gym. Incomparable situations.
Joshua looks better technically than anyone I've ever seen his size. With good managing and, more importantly, the right attitude the sky seems to be the limit for this guy. Of course you never know. It's true that he is relatively unproven and hasn't faced anyone near the level of Bowe. But bar Holyfield, the same is quite true of Bowe. He was especially unproven against guys his own size and bigger of good quality. As far as I know he met one, who beat the **** put of him. But I would like to see Joshua perform well against some top 5 competition before I pick him with any kind of confidence in a match-up like this. Otherwise, I might be made to look silly soon. But so far this guy really makes for exciting times.
a completly shot thomas and i mean shot / a completly shot biggs / tubbs beat bowe / seldon took a dive also against bowe not omly tyson/ cooper was a blown up cruiser weight ....coaetzer was tuff
