    Nationalistic hate of all things british.:rofl

    His skills and size are huge attributes that will help him on the pro side of the game. And unlike many other AM prospects more highly touted, he doesnt seem to have that chin that's just waiting to be shattered.
    He's gotten some homecooking, but you don't get on the podium at all if your garbage.

    Seems he's put his misdemeanorin behind him, and sounds focused.

    I aint calling him the "NEXT" HW Champ, cuz after the Klitschkos go, we'll probably have 2-3 solid "champs" before Joshua potentially gains a portion of the HW championship. :think

    Haye Chisora Price Fury and Joshua all future HW champs.

    The question remains...will there be enough belts to go around?

    Every guy with half a pulse and 10 wins on his record is the next big thing according to Brittards...even guys who get multiple gifts.

    Way to early to say he is the next champ. And its waaaay to damn early for him to stand next to the all time great Lennox Lewis. He is a big strong kid but his chin is not tested yet. I'm never sold on a tall guys chin because most of the time due to there long necks it glass. Vitali had a good chin for a tall guy and Lewis's chin was OK. But I can't think of many other tall fighters that had a good chin. Wlad and Grant are tall but they would not be able to take a punch from my 92 year old grandpa

    Not really, I think Pulev is more likely.
