    :patsch:rofl:lol:

    Wlad could do that against Tomato cans all day, are you kidding me? Way to insult Wlad.... Wlad has knocked down world class heavyweights like that man. This is only Joshuas second pro fight, lets not go overboard.

    Yeah he was really good tonight, he has a level head and is so relaxed but at the same time knows he still has to improve. He has a big future ahead of him and i was so happy i got the pleasure of meeting him at the final press conference before the fight :D

    I wasnt insulting Wlad.

    He is by FAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR my favorite fighter.

    I named one particular skill that I believe young Joshua does even better than Wlad. He turns over his jab, turning it into lethal hook or a hook jab, either of which are going to win him fights and/or set up his big shot, the straight R to win him fights.

    And yeah...this is a can he's fighting. But his motions in throwing these precision shots is what is so impressive to me.

    That shot would stun Derek Chisora.:deal

    Spot the Klitards (cue pathetic and probably racist GDM insult). At least Chi has the decency to appreciate other fighters. I can see why you idiots don't like Joshua though, he doesn't clinch every 10 seconds, has punch variety and he probably won't get KTFO by a journeyman by his 24th fight.

    He looked an imposing force, but it must be said that Paul Butlin is a filthy vagrant's John McDermott...except older, much less athletic, with a fifth of the power and slightly worse chin...

    He is big enough
    He is in shape enough

    Just needs to take it slow and get the experience

    Footwork, timing, ring generalship everything should slowly develop then he can start thinking about maybe going for a belt when he is maybe 26-27... The next 2-3 years he should just keep his head down and work hard...

    The poise he shows before throwing the shots would look just the same against a higher level of journeyman like MacNugget, Rogie, etc.

    Not saying he needs to make those type fights just yet, but I think he could hang in another 6 months of confidence boosting type fights.:think
