    The US superheavyweight, Brezeale, started boxing around the same time as Joshua. Look at how incompetent he looked at Olympic level :lol:.

    Even if Joshua isn't the future it's going to be a long time before we see a US heavyweight dominating :yep

    The future of the division will be a black version of Helenius. Very interesting.

    No chance

    Too slow
    He didn't seem to like some of them punches from the italian

    and hasn't got crazy power (which is needed when your slow)

    Where does that leave Helenius?

    Or is he the next Harrison or Povetkin?

    He'll do just fine, will probably win a title after both Klitschkos have retired.
    Joshua on the other hand will never make it beyond the promoters imposed circle of 'safe fights' vs bums and cans.

    If they push him too fast, he could end up like David Reid, or worse like Andrew Maynard & Tyrell Biggs.

    If they match him too soft, he could end up like Mark Breland, or worse like Audley Harrison & Jorge Luis Gonzalez.

    Patterson, Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Lewis, Wlad; a four-year pattern is there for all to follow.

    2016 will be the year: Anthony Joshua heavyweight champion of the world.

    So was Audley Harrison protected by the promoters imposed circle in the early 2000's?

    Can't see how a reference to Audley applies to Joshua's case.

    He needed to fight in "The Great White North" (Canada) for him to develop his skills like the last king of the Jungle. Send him over here for a couple of years and he will get on track quick:deal

    I heard he won multiple fights by highly controversial decision.

    Sounds like someone brittards can get excited about.

    I am excited about Anthony Joshua and his future, but lets not go overboard. Given the rate that most prospects are progressed through their career, 4 years to go from Olympic medalist to heavyweight champion is EXTREMELY unlikely.
