    I think he is simply one of the guys that probably has a chin, but doesn't like to get hit. There's quite a few guys that have fit that mold, he's already taken some decent shots. Regarding him talking, all of his interviews, he seems quite the articulate guy and quick thinker, kind of how he fights. Of course time will tell.

    Heavyweights just will always have the aura of being bigger than life.

    Close between them but AJ has obv realy captured the casuals imagination again this is influenced by the olympics were most casuals were introduced to him but also due to his physique he looks like a beast therefore he must be mentality really helps sell him.

    I reckon if there was a fight between say Joshua and Fury it would defo rival numbers for a Froch/Degale fight, obv Froch/groves does massive numbers again but that aint all down to Froch. Froch is coming to the end tho (announcement within a week what he is doin) I would say other than Froch/Groves Joshua and any top 10 ranked Heavy beats Frochs's numbers and if Joshua is fighting for a world title it already blows Frochs numbers out the water

    doubtful any boxer will ever be a mainstream star again in the states.
