    He doesn't sound ex forces to me but after finding the posts quite entertaining yesterday it does wear off quite quickly. No point.

    He was taken seriously by a lot of people, he was a good amateuer and turned over ealy, the general public didn't all rate him thats correct the majority of people with any clue on boxing could see he had something. I've took a fair bit of abuse about him from second he turned over as I was high on him, but very little of this was from anyone who i'd ask advice from

    Not hate just never rated him much better than your British Level heavyweights such as Whyte.

    When is he coming out to give us his words of wisdom?

    He is more hiding under canvas than Under Armour these days.

    Joshua would have gone life and death with the likes of Danny Williams and Julius Francis back in the day, I think. I'm not sure Whyte is any better than either of them.

    Can see him struggling with a prime Matt Skelton - he may have broke his Humble Heart as well.

    I like you Beale but if AJ is just "British Level" as you constantly say, then his resume, which surpasses British Level which is Dave Allen, David Price, Dereck Chisora, Hughie Fury et al is actually quite impressive as he has, by your own criteria, out performed his "British standing" with his subsequent wins and titles.

    Is he the greatest elite Brit HW? - No.
    Is he a decent well above average Brit HW? - Yes.

    I think a lot of the AJ "hate" is confused and mixed up with Hearn who is the real villain of the piece.

    You cannot, as a boxer, help which era you fight in. You can only fight it.

    AJ is decent, flawed but still decent. Like Fury, he has maybe 2 years left tops at the top level. Age.

    Does Joshua have any elite traits - certainly not.
    Has Joshua beat any great champions in the ring under 40 years of age - certainly not.
    His best win - old Povetkin, British Level Dillian Whyte or Joey 12 Parker?

    The era has been absolutely rotten and seen many poor paper belt holders including Martin, Stiverne, Joshua and Parker.

    My issue is that a true World Heavyweight era standard is the Lennox Lewis era of which the ceiling for Joshua would have been a British Title.

    Joshua has never been great and I seen through the spin and lies when he fought Whyte years ago.

    Joshua has been well and truly rumbled and his top level is another fight with Whyte or a vacant title against Pulev types.
