    havent seen much of him, just his debut fight and second one....sure, he looks to have good boxing skills..BUT... ANYTIME i see a guy with arms that big, cut with no fat at all, huge...but looks like he forgot about leg day at the gym...is a sign of a KO waiting to happen...

    im calling this now..he will get hyped just like wilder, but with a better paper record, but will get KO'd as soon as he is in there with someone who can get on the inside, he looks to have a little probs with short range and likes to keep em at a distance...someone like chisora, who is not overly talented would pose a problem for joshawa...i mean his upper body is bigger than seth mitchels and his legs are smaller too...

    I disagree, I think he will become world champion.

    Bruno was not as co-ordinated or fluid as Joshua.

    As long as he has good sparring and learns new defensive and offensive techniques in the process he'll be a force.

    The way he fought his first two opponents, he won't be able to do with even a D level opponent so he'll have to keep stepping up every time until his psychology and well as physical tools become adjusted to one another.

    Essentially he needs to work and train like a champion in order to be one. Having a busy schedule is only beneficial to him.

    All boxers hava a chance of getting KO. So... even if it happens, you saying it doesn't mean ****. We get it, you aren't a fan or not convinced by the kid. I think I haven't seen him yet. I will check it out. One thing I agree with, legs are important.

    Setj Mitchell also has bad knees. So bad that he had to quit football because of them.

    When you get punched, tell me if that'll make your legs buckle

    If Joshua wasn't gifted the gold medal I don't think he would be receiving this kind of attention...he'll have to do a lot before i'm convinced that this isn't just the usual brit hype...

    So was David Price. :lol::rofl

    Joshua is just another in a long line of over hyped Glass Jawed British fighters.

    I believe his body type will change in time, before he will meet a real deal his legs will look more powerfull. Good trainers know that 50% of boxers power is in his legs
