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

For the record Bruno was better than given credit for, he would have beaten Price ,Fury and Joshua in the same evening.
For a British fighter at HW apart from Lewis , Bruno was pretty good.

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.

I watched that fight live,could not believe Joshua got that decision,he was totally outboxed
all night long,i was with a group of friends who are not real boxing fans,they were as surprised
as me.

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.

What's to disappoint? You guys have a glut of solid young heavyweights.

Amatuer is Amatuer but from the looks of it, JOshua seems to be very very good. IT's just too hard to tell how he'll be as a pro but he's definitely somebody to watch out for.

He looks alot better than the Prices and the Furys of the world..

Robot anthony.

Not just outboxed but hurt by him and Savon took his power fine.

This will be between the level of Price and Bruno. Not quite good enough to get to a title but dont think he will fail so quickly...
