    He was wobbled hard numerous times in the olmypics with headgear on and no one is calling for him to face a top 5 opponent but someone ranked who could fight back would be a good first step.

    Your joshua is a fraud. He will ever compare to wlad so why I am going to compare their first wins?

    A muscle bound hw doesn't translate to mean they will achieve a similar feat to that of a great.

    His weaknesses are apparent, and will be exposed when he steps up.

    The exact same things were said of That bum Price and reasonable people were warning his deluded fans the same damn thing.

    Joshua has a great record for only ten fights. Sprott, Bakthov and Airich are decent journeymen.

    It's always boring watching a British prospect beat up nobodies for 2 or 3 years before they're in a decent fight.

    Perhaps if he wasn't a golden boy in absolute mismatches taking the **** out of his opponents and hitting them on the floor whenever he gets the chance... perhaps if he didnt have a very unpleasant recent past... perhaps if his shining example to yoof of "turning his life around" didn't just involve discovering he could earn a fortune for hitting people... perhaps then I wouldn't want to see him beat.

    I think the problem is the over exposure he is receiving.

    I understand they (Promoter/TV and maybe the fighter himself) want to build his profile even more, let people follow his career but at this stage they are learning fights, they are not competitive and having those sorts of fights way up the card or even headlining with a 10 minute promo's before the fight breeds resentment as seen with other Olympians.

    Nothing wrong with understating it, even show a fight or two delayed and if people are impressed with him they will want to see him again but force feeding viewers one-sided mismatches is not the way to go in my humble opinion.

    Its not his fault that he has been hyped so much and he is just doing his job and at the moment doing it well. Don't understand this suspect chin stuff though because he hasn't been hit on it and therefore it isn't suspect but just untested

    :deal

    These are the exact reasons why I can't wait to see this fraud get exposed.

    And the 'nice guy I won't offend anyone'' image is as fake as his undeserved gold medal.

    Joshua is manufactured he's been carefully told what to say and how to act ...that documentary he did where he was visiting his old stomping ground of Watford was so fake ...also I find his personality a little boring now same old stuff he says. Decent fighter but suspect chin and looks uncomfortable when someone throws a punch back..

    I keep hearing that he has a bad past and is not a nice bloke but no one says what exactly. Many decent boxers have very bad backgrounds its were they learned to fight. He will need that street toughness when he steps up levels.
    Im not sure what to make of him yet, so far he has done whats asked of him nothing more nothing less

    I reckon he dealt a bit, more than weed. and did abit of intimidation and enforcing, look at the size of him. doubt he had to really get strong armed on anyone.
