    Parts of this I agree with. He wasn’t consistent but he was always fighting different guys. The ones we do have film of him fighting he’s near 40 in with ATGs that couldn’t be more different. We’d need more film of his earlier days I think, I don’t believe he’s some ATG wizard but I believe he was a very savvy pro who had a pioneers mindset he was trying a lot of stuff in there even in the little bit we’ve got it’s great and very enjoyable compared to the flavour of vanilla boxing today.

    You are selling Joshua short here.

    Whatever you can say about him, he has significant accomplishments, and he showed heart at times.

    However I have to agree, that Walcott would confuse the hell out of him.

    Sounds like how I’d describe Bruno.

    In fact, if you watch the second part of the Louis I fight, he didn't maintain this performance either. He just run away from Louis.

    I hear the comparisons from time to time, but Joshua surpassed Bruno several times over.

    Bruno basically feasted on weak opposition, and typically lost whenever he stepped up.

    Joshua won belts, unified belts, and defended belts.

    Totally different animal.

    I meant that half kidding honestly. The only resemblance is “big British muscle guy”
