    Isn't anyone with a British passport a member of the British Empire?
    In his case he should be called Goldmember then :D

    I reckon he might win a belt. His hand speed is decent and he throws in combination which a lot of heavys don't.

    Still loads of questions he needs to answer like chin (he doesn't move his head so its gunna get tested. Technique (he poses with his right like he's loading a shot gun at times) stamina (hes ripped but can he fight for 10-12 rounds)
    Maybe he can grab a belt - but I could see some big Russian killer smashing him up.

    He'll 100% be a World Champion.

    Will he dominate for a decade like Lewis and Wlad did before him?
    I'm not sure he will.

    I think boxer-counter punchers will be his undoing.
    I also think the two Furies can beat him.
    I think currently Pulev and Povetkin beats him.

    Usyk for me, would give him a boxing lesson.

    Joshua is still learning though so my mind might change if he changes his style into a more conservative one.
    Like, playing to his strengths.

    If he develops an elite jab, I think he will dominate.
    Current Joshua walks into a knock-out one day.
    An overhand right would currently do it.
