    Was this the worst kept secret in British boxing?

    I think he now knows it's not just the training. McCrackens excellent corner work will benefit him hugely.

    I am a huge Froch fan, so it will be interesting to see what McCracken can do to Joshua, he is defiantly better than the previous coach Tony Sims

    Imagine he’ll still split his time between the Matchroom gym with Sims and Sheffield with McCracken

    Isn't that what he's always done

    Sims, is he all that?

    I honestly believe think quite a few people on here would do more than OK with that stable of fighters.

    What would you work on if you were training Joshua Billy? How would you prep him for Wlad?

    Will he still get discount in the Hearn/Sims beauty salon?

    Has anyone seen him McCrack a smile yet, he always looks like he just caught his wife with another mans sausage in her mouth.

    AJ has the attributes to beat Klitchko now speed of hand and feet, however I think speed AJ could struggle with someone like David Haye, in not saying he's lose I'm saying he'd be in a much harder fight than anything he's encountered so far

    Agree big time with Billy Nelson. I don't think Joshua is exactly George Chuvalo in the chin department, or Ali in terms of reflex time. Haye could conceivably get to his chin and finish the fight.

    Most guys always keep the amateur coach anyway.. McCracken is a good coach.. what ever happened to that Irish southpaw he had ages ago.. I know he lost a fight what's name I'll google..

    People are blinded by their personal hatred of Haye. The guy is still absolutely lethal, lightning speed and brutal power.
    Would he beat AJ ?? I don't know but I think even now he comfortably beats all the other HW's with the exception of AJ and possibly Wlad (although Wlad has declined so much I think Haye would likely beat him now).

    Agree billy. Although still think klitchkos getting underestimated against joshua because furys footwork and feints completely put him off his game. I dont think joshua does either of them particularly brilliantly. Klitchkos jabs gonna come into play a lot more in that fight than it did against fury.
