    Anthony Joshua is a 26 year old 6'7 Heavyweight with a 14-0 14 KO's record. Gold Medalist at Super Heavyweight at the London Olympics. The Massive Heavyweight from Watford was signed by Eddie Hearn, who's sitting on an incredibly impressive roster, the moment he turned pro. He's another in a long line of English HW Behemoths following in the footsteps of Price and Fury, I only hope than his chin isn't as ****ty as Price's, because if it isn't he has the potential to be a superstar, he's a fairly handsome, very tall young Black Olympian with an English accent sound familiar, can he be the next Lennox...... probably not, but, he may be a force to be reckoned with for years to come if he doesn't falter. Wlad thinks he's the real deal:good So maybe he is. There might a superfight between HW giants in the future Joshua Vs. Wilder, that is, if Wilder's possible glass chin isn't expose by then. So here he is if you haven't seen him yet.:toney:toney:toney:toney

    Most KO/TKO on record due to British style stoppage?

    Just like Froch Groves1, you kinda know which way the fight is going, no big deal, the English are more squeamish than we are.

    Joshua is good but Tyson Fury is great.

    How times do I have to mention to these fools that Emmanuel Steward compared Tyson Fury to Lennox Lewis and Wlad Klitschko and said that Fury would be the next long reigning dominate Heavyweight Champion. Steward was the Worlds premier Heavyweight boxing expert. It would be like asking Mozart abut music, Van Gogh about painting etc,etc. Tyson Fury is the best end of

    Someone else's say-so doesn't automatically make them 'great', despite how much of an expert they may be. It can be an indicator of potential talent of course, but what has Fury done to warrant being described as 'great'? What landmark fights does he have to his name? I think he's proven to be decent, but no more. What I will say for Fury, is that he is exceptionally good at making people want to watch him which will stand him well in his career.

    Far more potential in Joshua (in my opinion). But, we'll find out as we go along how good he can be.

    Joshua is 6'6, not 6'7.

    And you forgot to mention he has already been in jail briefly for selling drug.

    This is a very important aspect to mention if you want to generate simphaty in the american fans.

    Anyway, yes, he's probably the next big thing in the heavyweight division.

    Wlad talks good about anyone, but he has never gone so far as he has done in praising Joshua.

    And he looks the complete package: big, fast, powerful, coordinated, and already smart.

    Most importantly, he isn't a dickhead, he doesn't act like a fool, in and outside the ring.

    The biggest potential along with Tyson Fury. They are also the same age, if i'm not wrong. And they are both green.

    I've seen it listed as both, 6'7 sounds more impressive.

    He has all the talent and size to dominate the HW scene for a long time. He just needs more seasoning. Another 3 years until he fights for a world title sounds appropriate.
