    He looks good but he need to be in with someone his own height

    These tall boxers get away with lazy jabs and just leaning back against small fighters but when they fight someone their own size they realise they cant do it

    Hes very skilled for a HW though look forward to his career

    Joshua is too flat footed. He's too robust and can be outboxed quite easily from what i can see. Open to right hands. That defensive counter left hook is extremely predictable. I will make money when he loses.

    He's a convicted drug dealer as well and his physique looks akin to a bodybuilders physique...

    I think Joshua would struggle vs taller fighters, for example Hughie Fury. Hughie moves much better. Hughie has his number imo. I think he would struggle vs a guy who can jab with him and throw a good right hand. Price KOs him. Thats just domestic level. Pulev beats him. Wlad obviously beats him. I'd also take Arreola over him. Chisora is also a very dangerous fight for him. Povetkin gets inside and destroys him with short combinations.

    In fairness to Joshua I'd give him the edge vs Wilder, Stiverne, Adamek and Tyson Fury. He can do well and make good money if he gets matched right. If he gets matched wrongly, a la Price, then sooner rather than later he will get well and truly starched.

    So he would struggle against taller fighters who can jab and also throw a good right hand.... yet he then beats Wilder and Fury?

    Well what your saying doesn't really add up does it...

    He'll struggle with taller fighters who can jab and throw right hands... yet those fighters you mentioned that would give him problems include Arreola, Chisora, Pulev and Povetkin - all smaller than him.

    Then he supposedly beats Fury and Wilder, both who are taller than him.. have shown they can pop a jab and can throw a right hand...

    Wilder has a worse chin than price, a **** jab and a **** windmill right hand that Joshuas family in the front row will see coming.

    Fury also has a **** jab and right hand and has been given a good hiding by Joshua already.

    The other fighters I mentioned are much more durable, with the exception of Price. Price has a better jab than Joshua, Fury or Wilder and would outjab those guys and most likely end the fight with a huge right hand before his limitations got exposed.

    Joshua hasn't exactly got an inside game either.

    How anyone can pick him against Wilder I do not know

    Wilder just throws wild right hands and gets out of there doubt Joshua would have enough time to counter it, and I doubt he would risk trying to time one as Wilder comes in its too dangerous

    Wilder would finish him early

    Did you see the clip of Windmill Wilder getting bounced off the canvas like a basketball in an amateur fight not too long ago mate?

    No one is coming forward against him in the pro's
    He's actually getting better and that right hand can end a fight at any second

    Skill doesnt matter too much at HW, Joshua is skilled but someone like Arreola would take him out in a round

    Lirva,

    I reckon you get Louis Theroux round your place, would make compelling viewing. Perhaps throw in Danny Dyer too for shits N' giggles.
