    He's no bum but he is just waiting to be exposed. He has only ever looked convincing against bums. The reason for this post is to try to get across to certain people that he is overrated. He is not a bum but he is also nothing too special.

    He's Amir Khan waiting for his Bredis Prescott. Basically

    I was gonna use that exact analogy but cos I've slated Khan so much in the past I thought it'd look like I was just some sort of hater. You're bang on though, Joshua has a brutal KO coming his way, I've watched boxing for almost 30 years and it just feels so inevitable.

    Brilliant.
    And maybe that Prescott is Wilder or Hate.

    Joshua should go fight Povetkin in Russia.

    He's def #1 in his division.

    However, for a #1 ranked fighter and one who the mass of casuals and media alike seem to worship, he's very poor.

    I don't think that many people on this forum do think he's special to be fair.

    He's definitely a top class heavyweight in fairness, but not special in the sense that he's unbeatably good or anything

    No one's denying that, but it is irrelevant to this thread.

    There's definitely an air of Prima Donna with this bodybuilder. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth. I noticed Eddie had another referee in there to protect Joshua, when he hugged Parker for dear life. Needs to decide what weight he will be effective at. Maybe cutting too much weight, is having a negative effect, since he's bulked up to Mr Olympia type levels.

    He is a good heavyweight but lacks that x-factor that past legends all had. Again, not saying he is no good, I'm saying he does not deserve the hype. He has nothing special and will be exposed very soon.

    Whoa... a boxer is going to get KO'd someday?

    Like Wlad against Purrity?
    Or like Lewis against Rahman?
    Or Tyson against Douglas?


    Fighters get knocked out. So what.

    AJ just beat one of the best fighters in the division.

    The point is, he has nothing about him. Why all the hype over the next Frank Bruno? He does nothing exceptionally, he is just big. All the guys you mentioned looked consistently exceptional at the top level. Joshua seems to just scrape by.
