What are your thoughts on Anthony Joshua?

Until I see how granite his ears are I'm not sure.

Also I watched him lose at the Olympics but it was one of the best robberies i've ever seen (kerching!!!)

What a lot of bullshit.

Joshua beat him in the final the same way he beat him the year before, let Camerellie work a lot in the first and then up the work rate in the following round.

Maybe Fenster means against the Cuban?

Remember that this guy never put on a pair of gloves until he was 18, but won the gold at age 22. That's pretty spectacular but he is still as raw as they come.

Yep nobody thinks he beat the Cuban.

That's irrelevant now though, Joshua is clearly a good talent, due to his lack of experience we can expect real slowly slowly with him though.

He is a very good athlete and physical specimen ..... big, strong and coordinated, and he can hit.

On the downside, he is still a novice - only started boxing 4 years ago and has not got much real experience (compared to the likes of Ali, Lewis and even Audley.

He's got a massive upper body but very slim legs, hips and waist ...... I wonder whether he will be able to leverage big punches properly over the longer fights, and I obviously haven't seen enough of him to judge his punch resistance well.

Good luck to him - I hope he takes the time and pain to learn the trade properly and not get rushed too fast to make a quick few quid

Let's see what happens when he gets hit on the chin by somebody who can punch. We may be waiting a long time for that to happen.
