    Hard to tell from this fight, but there appear to have been a lot of shaky chins among British HWs prior to this, so it stands to reason it's a serious possibility. :nod

    What do others think?

    Joshua is no different than all the other Glass Jawed British fighters. Complete hype.

    Well Nistor sparked him out pretty bad, Medzhidov rocked him more than a half dozen times in their fight, Cammarelle hurt him. Not saying its glass but its definitely not too solid.

    Nistor did not 'spark him out'

    The kid is 22 and still growing into his frame, from what I've seen his chin is pretty solid

    If i had to choose either way i'd say YES based on tonights fight but we will see.

    Joshua is still a very raw prospect and needs to be kept away from any 'REAL' Heavyweights for at least 2 years and continue fighting unknown Cruiserweights like Emanuele Leo or under-sized Heavies who are powder puff punchers.

    Did anyone notice in the slow mo high-lights of the fight that Joshua was caught with a punch that seemed to buzz him for a moment, not a good sign for the future once he moves up.

    From what I've seen f him as an amateur he seems to take a shot pretty well. Nothing to suggest he has a glass chin yet unlike Khan and Price when they turned pro.

    Yes yes he did. It was Khan/Price style wobbly, drunk looking bambi legs and falling into ropes.

    Something tells me this bubble is gonna get burst, and it will probably happen when the fragility Joshua's mandible is exposed.:yep

    Looks like he likes a juice as much as Bruno did as well.

    You think he's juicing? Steroids won't help a glass jaw! :lol:
