Purely so the casuals on my facebook feed stop sucking his hair, sweaty *******s. After he KO'd a ****, Scottish builder my feed was full of "Joshua will KO Wlad!" and other such ****e. I do love seeing hypejobs get sparked so the casuals stop banging on about them. Joshua is OK but he's nowhere near world class. Gets hit too much, too stiff and not skilled enough. He's got decent stamina, a decent chin and good power though. Both Furys would clown him.
Both fury's would clown him? Now now, I agree that Tyson Fury would school him, but featherfisted Hughie?
To make such judgements off of less than fifty rounds of boxing, seems rather 'casual'! What I would say is Joshua has beaten everything put in front of him after fifteen fights. He has shown a lot more strengths than weaknesses. He is now likely only going to be 'tested' by a top fifteen fighter. After that we can re-evaluate...
The hype train will be stopped at world level. ..as we seen with luke Campbell. ..medals don't mean ****
Medals do mean something, they tend to mean good pay days. A defeat is sometimes a good thing long term, if Campbell can learn where he went wrong, and what he needs to do to make sure it does not happen again. I do not know him as a person, but as a boxer he seems quite smart so hopefully he does/has learned and will rebound strong.
I've never understood the mindset of wanting someone to lose just because they may get overrated by others. It seems the main thing that drives this board. Grown men wanting someone to fail just so they can be smug and say, "I told you so". It's an odd one.
Blame Eddie and sky. ....there is selling fighters. ..then making them out to be world class when they haven't even conquered British level
At Heavyweight at the moment, to conqueror British level is to beat the best in the world and be awarded the ultimate prize: THE Heavyweight Championship of the World...
So he's got - according to you - decent stamina and chin, and good power. Sounds like the recipe for a pretty good fighter tbh. Lamo
