Hopefully this HW doesn't disappoint us.
Right people, lets not get acrried away this time;)
When I watched the Erislandy Savon fight in the olympics, Savon was a much smaller man and stood in front of Joshua and boxed his ears off and hurt him as well I think.
He looked to me to be another Bruno who will struggle with speed and movement but can build up a nice record flattening bums. I think he goes further than Price though. Much further!
Do you think he'll ever be as good as fury
Its all up to him.Quote:

He looks alot better than the Prices and the Furys of the world..
Robot anthony.
He got outboxed by cuban
Not just outboxed but hurt by him and Savon took his power fine.Quote:

He needs alot of work.
Footwork. Head movement.
For the record Bruno was better than given credit for, he would have beaten Price ,Fury and Joshua in the same evening.Quote:

Early days lets not write off a guy before his first pro fight.
I have high hopes for Joshua hopefully he is more like Lennox than Audley.
Joshua is a bit robotic, but he's big strong and still a baby in boxing terms, he needs to mature a
bit more may be 18 months more in the amateurs.!
What ever I wish him well, good luck to him.:)
Bruno would probably beat haye as well. Who knows.
Im sure they wont rush joshua but they will need plenty of wd40 to loosen up them arms and an oil service for that neck.
I watched that fight live,could not believe Joshua got that decision,he was totally outboxedQuote:

Joshua should never have won that gold. He should give that back like the roy jones scenario.
I wish him success but he was completely outboxed and its a shame as it changes peoples paths and futures.
