    Tyson fury has just said he picks price over Joshua if they fought because price has sparked him before in training? Is this true anyone else heard this?

    It's abit worrying I'm kind of praying joshua is a legit lewis/tyson type talent who will really bring heavyweight boxing back in a big way. His chin seemed fairly solid when he was amatuer admittedly I only seen him in the worlds and Olympics. He went to war in the final of the worlds against the Uzbek guy who I heard was a big puncher I know it's headguards and bigger gloves but still if he was really chinny I don't think he would of been able to get through that fight.

    Bit worried thou if he's getting completely sparked with sparring gloves on And sparring headgear. Even buy a big puncher like price. Would explain why price seems really keen to fight him and keeps saying how 'mad' Eddie would be putting josh in with him.

    17 stone man who is one of the hardest hitters in Boxing KO's another Boxer in shocker...

    As said before; the rules are thrown out the window when it comes to HW Boxing! NOBODY has a chin that can stand up for long to a man that weighs 100kg+ and KNOWS how to use it;

    This did apparently happen when Joshua was a young amateur though so I don't think you can take too much from that but at the same time there is a radio interview on YouTube of Fury saying he got schooled and beaten up by an amateur called Anthony Joshua so he must have still been handy when Price apparently did this

    Yes he did. But sparring's sparring. A lot has happened since then.

    But when Price says he knows he can knockout Joshua...he KNOWS.

    Audley is 'afraid' of not "boxing" (getting hit)

    Audley is "confident" because of..


    Price is not confident because of..


    Obviously one is 40 and the other is 25 oximoronically.


    So it doesn't matter if Price did a Dillian Whyte (or didn't do a Dillian Whyte)


    It doesn't matter if he did a Rahman in the spar.


    Mental toughness is just a to be or not to be.. a boxer etc.


    You either have the mental toughness to get in the ring or not.


    The rest is jabs hooks footwork and TKOs.


    And KOs but that's part of boxing.

    To be like you have to not necessarily like the person but you have to be like them.

    That's why no other heavyweight has been been champion rather than Klitschko being so great or Audley so bad.


    No other heavyweight has been the champion.

    Price knocks out anyone if he lands imo.

    However, he has no heart and will never be a world champion.

    Joshua is being massively overhyped on here, and as much as I want him to do well I think very little people are seeing the fundamental mistakes he makes.

    He is as stiff as Price and has a bad habbit of going back in straight lines, that's just two of the things that stand out alarmingly at the moment.

    Doesn't matter if he did. And I'm a critic of Joshua and think he's overrated.

    Price is arguably the biggest puncher in the division, it doesn't mean you've got a shakey jaw if he sparks you out head gear on or not.
