    Joshua

    Having heavy hands is great of you can land efficiently

    Pricey is slow and methodical, Joshua is stiff but at least he has natural hand speed. Speed kills and Joshua for me is the more efficient puncher

    For what its worth, I think Anthony Joshua would decimate big Pricey and Tyson Fury right now

    I did see both actually he got knocked out in the 2nd and did a namby on ice impression when he tried to get up and in the 2nd fight he got pummeled into a corner to a point he could barely move his limbs, so yeah they were both batterings.

    I saw Joshua lose in the finals but simply given the gold, he was outclassed. Price has more power and if Price is properly trained he will be good fighter.........Tyson Fury would knock Joshua out. Hughie Fury would beat Joshua also...........

    Price has a lot of faults but power isn't one of them. He is certainly capable of of KOing any other heavyweight out there today but he is just so vulnerable to being knocked out himself by far lesser punchers.

    He didn't land flush against TT
    More of a scuff

    Problem with price he went from domestic level to fringe world class level.
    To big a step to soon
    Before TT he was flying and looked more convincing then Fury, Chisora etc in doing so.
    Now he's "shite", some people need to give their heads a wobble

    Price by far.... he also won his Olympic medal legitimately.

    Joshua lost to Cameralle, but was given the fight anyway. Price should fight Joshua soon. Fury should fight Joshua ASAP, and so should Hughie Fury...........I think Vladimir Klitschko should fight Joshua after he gets his mandatories out of the way.............however, Joshua vs. Wilder would be a good fight..................

    What is Joshua's chin like, has he been stopped in the amateurs?

    Punching power only gets you so far in boxing. Price's punch resistance, chin , stamina , work rate and heart have been none existent so far. A glass cannon . . .

    I want David Price to do well,and think he can.But he needs more fights to rebuild his confidence,and looks like he will get them.But lets just say he fought Joshua in a month,which won't happen.Either could knock out the other,and I can't picture a distance fight.Joshua is 5 or 6 years younger,far more time on his hands if he is kept active.I could see him going farther than Price.David was stopped by Camarelle.No argument.Im in a minority,but I think Joshua deserved to win the final,close as it was.Tyson Fury beats Joshua now,Hughie doesn't.And I think his Dad admitted as much.The lads a teenager.But Joshua is a hell of a prospect.Price probably harder puncher,but what the hell.

    Whaa? I assume you are kidding. I've rarely seen a beatdown more likely to permanently damage confidence than Thompson 2 fight.
