    after hearing fury say he was knocked about by a prospect. are we to believe this anthoney joshua is that good or tyson fury is just out of shape and over rated. ive seen a few clips of joshua and he looks very decsent but not world class.
    check him out on youtube.

    yeah he's good for boxing in that sence but what annoys me about him is he has a lot of potential. but he's in bad shape and aisnt getting the sparring and training he needs. he'll never make it past european level if he stays the same.

    Fair play, you don't often hear boxers come out with that...

    Anybody got any decent videos of this lad Joshua? The one on YouTube is shite.

    tyson fury is a nice guy, but he's nothing special IMO at the moment. he's very big, but the problem with fury is his defence is shocking and he's really open for the right hand. i think he's going to have a few losses in his career, but the british scence is very crap at the moment and he'll win a british title. he'll spank the likes of audley, but haye would be too much for fury with that right hand and speed.

    i really hope fury succeeds, but i don't think he's world champion material.

    the british scene is not crap.... its better than its been in 15 years. theres sexton, chisora, price, towers, haye, fury, dallas and olumibiwo. now theres this joshua lad. trust me although there not world class fighters compared to there heavey weights around the world there amazing.

    they're mostly just domestic/european class fighters. only one on that list that is worldclass is david haye, the others aren't wordlclass and IMO they won't make worldclass level. considering how poor the worldclass division is that's saying something, it's saying the domestic scene might end up competitive, but that's because they're all equally just domestic class level.
