    never said he had a bad chin....i said that is body type is made to get drained...his legs wont hold him up...when he does get tko/ko...he wont be out cold....but rather like bute/andrade in their first fight....but because of his body type, and super chicken legs...this is much more likely to happen more often than the average fighter.

    all that upper torso muscle will drain his oxygen and cardio, the more he swings this guy will tire quick...his legs wont be able to keep him up on his feet through the last half of the fight...

    hahaha. What boxer isn't potentially a K.O waiting to happen? This is a sport where people get punched in the head by other professional fighters.

    Eubank, Benn, Hamed, hell! Ricky Burns went the distance with a broken jaw earlier this year.

    His jaw was glass before he replaced it with a titanium plate. That's why it broke in the first place. Glass breaks, that's kind of it's inherent property.

    Couldn't have said it better myself. The so called chin checkers really need to evaluate their perspective on the matter and probably their lives.

    I say let this man the time to develop before passing judgment.

    Even if is weak chinned, he seems skilled, sharp, and athletic
    enough to compensate for his SUPPOSED inherent weakness.

    Good, solid point, often overlooked- the legs can take you into the later rounds and nullify opponents power

    I dont know if he's a ko waiting to happen but he's already been overhyped.

    Brits are already calling him the new bruno and lewis and saying he's the one to knock out the klitschko brothers and will be an ATG. This after knocking out two laymen.

    I hope he does well as the HW needs genuine contenders and joshua seems very level headed.

    But you brittards need to remember what happened to david price, he was ko'ing bums left right and centre, but when he came up on a real test he didn't want any of it and quit.

    Not a fan of Arreolas, but your'e so wrong about Arreola having good timing. Also, he did beat McCline who was a top 20, Mitchell who likely still is a top 20, and Walker, Witherspoon and Wills who were all top 20 HWs when he fought them.

    There's a reason why Arreola has consistently lost in the top 10, but there's also a reason why he's made those fights too.

    And this is in no way a disrespect of Joshua. I like the kid and think very highly of him, but at the pro level he's got to learn to change the torque of his shots and when to do it. He's got to learn range or he's gonna eat huge counters. Those are intangibles that great amatuers must learn to succeed on the pro level.

    IMO, he's got all the tools, it's merely a matter of him sharpening them, and IMO, he will, and he'll become a dominant top 5 HW.:think
