Give AJ a break.........lets judge him when he fights a real challenger but in the meantime let's hope he is the real deal. He's still young enough to learn and get better and who cares about his past at least he's trying to do things the right way.
Eddie has done a great job building up his money making PR machine. He will not risk anything with this kid.
It really depends whose 'rating' it is you're considering. A lot of people are going way over the top on AJ, but it depends how you look at it. Is he in the top 3 in the world right now (for me)? Nope. Does he have the potential to be in the top 3? Absolutely
David Price, Hello You need to fight somebody, anybody half decent instead of security guards and then I can take you a little more seriously. Until then, stop trolling making threads like these and others asking for footage of yourself and AJ sparring, stop being snide and bitter about the fact Joshua has earned more money and achieved far more than you as an amateur and professional in a far shorter time. You looked terrified when that little security guard started throwing punches at you a month ago because you know you have almost zero punch resistance. It was a decent stoppage though, so well done :good We've seen you stopped twice by an old man and KTFO by a fat dude so go away and beat somebody worth beating and get yourself in to position where you are a genuine challenger and then come back and give it Charlie big cobblers :yep
The borders keep on moving. Well according to some people at least. In the part of East London I grew up in people from Dagenham and the like were considered farmers!
Tbf to joshua he really should be ranked as an excellent prospect atm. No one can really disagree with that. The only problem is and the harsh judgement comes out becauses he has a belt which is fair enough. But its hard to see him not being an excellent prospect. He should be rated highly the way hes went about his business thus far. Time will tell. Still hard for anyone to say if hes gonna be the real deal or not. People can see theres some pretty big flaws there...but it comes down to if his tremendous athletic attributes are enough to overcome his shortcomings. Usually it isnt but his athletic attributes are very pretty good tbh. I genuinely dont think he can box at the top level. Too robotic. But i also dont think theres many at heavyweight that can take advantage of it atm. Klitchko. Haye. Fury. Maybe wilder. Not much else. Think haye will be his biggest nitemare. Him and wilder will be a good fight could go either way. Actually pretty similar in levels. Slightly favour josh. I think haye and fury the only two i d definetely favour over him. Great chance against anyone outwith.
