    Yeah, because robotic fighters can have no success in the HW division

    I really don't rate Joshua. Nice lad but as as pro? Naw. Doesn't look like a hungry lad either. Does he really want it. No urgency or zest about him. Smart lad but seems to do everything a 1 mph. All you here is "We will see what happens, not sure yet" bla bla bla. I think he is smart enough to know he was fortunate to win a gold medal. He is better off staying in the amateurs and working on his boxing. Some dudes just aren't mentally built for the pros.

    A fraud? Really? Don't get me wrong I thought he lost to the Cuban but it wasn't even controversial compared to a lot of the decisions at the Olympics

    Joshua a fraud? Won't amount to much?

    Tyson Fury said himself "I got beaten up (by Joshua) in sparring" and that was years ago. Yes he probably should've lost against Savon but remember he won a silver, the year before at the Worlds. Compare that with other pros: Haye - Silver, Froch - Bronze, Gavin - Gold. He has talent and is an excellent prospect. The final was very close and could have went either way.

    And there are a lot of people who argue he was robbed in the final!
