    He's got power, sure. But nothing else and I suspect he's hiding some glass in his whiskers.

    He'll get exposed and become the next Audley Harrison. Fact.

    He's just not very good.

    Same reason you suspect "He's hiding some glass in his whiskers".

    You shouldn't be writing somebody off after 5 fights especially when that someone seems to be improving his skills each time!

    Some serious jokes in this forum

    And also when that somebody is an Olympic gold medallist.Harrison only underachieved as such.If he hadn't won that his career would have been looked on as pretty successful.

    TBH Joshua didn't deserve that Olympic gold medal, his silver at the world amateur championships is a better acheivment I think he boxed brilliantly there

    Overrating Joshua not so sure people are he has power in a soon to be open division?Sky are hyping him sure it's the HW division!!

    Joshua to Harrison not a great comparison different style of HW.Both GB both gold medalists the only likeness for me.

    I think Joshua is the future of British but even at this stage he should be fighting a better calibre of fighter than the fat **** he last fought. I think the original guy didn't turn up and they pulled him an opponent out of the crowd.

    Here's what you do, get a dictionary, learn what fact means, come back. Infact on second thoughts don't come back, just stay in the general with your new found knowledge.

    Joshua looks to be more Bruno than Lennox, but I hope he proves otherwise.

    Give him 12 months and I reckon he'll KO Tiresome Furry.
