This ****er is another Audley Harrison / Ricky Burns waiting to happen. Dude was SLOW! And man those punches you saw coming a mile away! Luckily his opponent wasa bum who feasted on guys with 32 odd losses apiece. Froch said it plainly when he said "He still has alot more to add to his arsenal" Bum. Him and David Price should fight for bum of the decade award. And before anyone bitches it wasn't the opponent it was the ability I am calling out - IT SUCKED!!!!
He certainly lacks quick explosive power. Not that Froch is any better in that department though. At the moment he looks and performs a little bit too much like a bodybuilder, he needs more explosiveness and power. He currently has a killer beach body, but having to hit a cab driver flush a dozen times before knocking him over is not that impressive. I liked his left hooks though.
Yes, of course, because every fighter is the finished article in their debut pro-fight and will never get any better or learn anything to help them improve. Boy! I'm certainly glad that I'm passing judgement on a fighter after seeing him in the pro-ring for less than 1 round of action. I would hate to actually give the guy a chance.atsch
And speed is only one attribute that makes a fighter. Not all successful fighters are very quick - George Foreman, for instance, was never a quick pucher or mover, nor was Lennox Lewis the quickest puncher or mover (as two examples of great fighters who weren't the quickest, not as comparisons to Joshua seeing as he had yet to prove anything) - some make up for it with ring-general-ship and savvy, which is something you learn with age and experiance. So, you know, calling Joshua bum who could compete with Price for bum of the year after less than 1 round of pro-action just because he might not be quick...yeah...premature...
