How do you think Anthony Joshua looked?

1. Its not even debatable that Joshua lost to the Cuban, he should been out in the first round. The Final was close but i thought he lost that as well.

In a fair World Joshua would not have Won the Gold at London 12 but hey it helps to sell him as a fighter so good luck to him, the Casuals wont know any better, and they will lap it up and follow the career of a "Gold medalist"

2. When Wlad and Vitali retire, the Belts will go vacant so yeah it will be easier to win a title no doubt maybe even vs a low level opponent if you play the politics game well.

3. After beating the worst 8-0 fighter i have ever seen (how did he win 8 fights?, could barely move or throw a punch correctly,Genis scouting and Match making by hearn and co, i tip my hat) how are you so sure he beats Pulev so easily?, there is no evidence to suggest that. If they were to fight next Pulev would be heavy favorite and rightly so.

4. I wish Joshua all the best and i hope he becomes a World class, entertaining Heavyweight as God knows the divison need one. But at this time there is nothing to suggest how good Johsua is or how good he will become, future fights will tell us this and i look forward to finding out.

 

You would have beaten that Leo Fella last night.:rofl

 

Where is the evidence this lad has a dicky chin?

 

He has Chicken Legs. Chicken Legs can equal a Glass Jaw, so he needs to do some calf raises.

 

He got stopped on his feet in the AM's, which is always a concern, he didn't know where he was he had to be helped to his stool, This does not mean he has a glass jaw though because for example TUA got stopped as an AM but had an Iron Jaw as a pro.

But He is British and most British Heavies get Kncoked out/have Glass chins.:good. TBH even having a good chin in this division wont help if a Powerful, Talented Heavyweight lands the perfect shot/s.

 

Got to be honest if he is the worst 8-0 fighter you have seen then perhaps I have been watching too much boxing because having travelled all over there are plenty worse 8-0 fighters out there. What makes me believe he could beat Pulev after 10 fights, I think you have answered your own question the mere fact we are debating it after his first fight, Pulev is so ordinary its frightening, the only reason he is talked about is that the heavy division is so bad he just about gets into the top 6 or 7.

The Olympic results, no argument that both fights were close but lets be honest all the top ams have been beat, Rigondeaux lost a few, Savon
Stevenson etc it means nothing really in the scheme of things. The kid is decent and the heavy division is poor, time will tell I guess but I guarantee if you ring a bookie for a price for him to win a version of a world title at some stage in his career it would be odds on.

 

Think your going a little bit over the top:hi::bbb

 

It is going to take a lot more than 10 fights for him to be anywhere near the best Europe let alone the World has to offer his actual lack of amateur background has to be a factor let alone ability needs rounds in the ring.

That won't come for a long while yet for many reasons the days of a Olympic version of Leon Spinks at HW have long gone fellas!!

 

people are going to hype into a fight with chisora two early i reckon, which would be sellable as a finchley v finchley.

I blame all the fans fro ruining prices career aswell, hyping him up as a terminator and demanding he fight klitschkos.

 

to early to tell, but he looked good, strong and quick, hit some vicious shots for the knockdown. he will train hard and learn quick in the pro game, the pro ranks are completely different to the amateurs he will learn to get his body into his punches instead of just getting in and out with quick punches like in the amateurs.

 

Still no idea. His opponent was beyond bad, and clearly had only fought complete bums before stepping in the ring with the former Olympian.

 

He reminded me of a young Bruno, very chiselled and stiff, working behind his jab, a very decent looking one at that, and towards the end of the fight, i again saw a bit of the old Bruno, holding behind the neck whilst repeatedly right handing the guy to the side of the head.

Too early to tell how he will fair as a pro, but hey good luck to the guy, hope he does well.

 

There isn't really much evidence.

Supposedly Dillian Whyte dropped him in Whytes debut amateur fight, Joshua's 3rd - but let's remember Whyte had a kickboxing background before turning to boxing and this was when Joshua literally just took the sport up.

Considering he only had 37 amateur fights he was impressive, against an opponent with a suspicious looking record but who was willing to throw back & exchange, rather than a journeyman who only came to survive.

Josh is clearly a physically talented athlete, something rare for someone his size. He still makes fundamental defensive mistakes & his offensive output is rather limited but there is a lot of potential there, it all depends on how steep his learning curve will be from this point on.

 

Shittiest logic ever.
