Who is the next boxing superstar?

ANTHONY JOSHUA easy question to answer really.

ANTHONY JOSHUA easy question to answer really.

He doesn't excite me. He seems like a more effective clubber that's Frank Bruno-esque, or like a younger and more mobile Oliver McCall. Nothing sexy about him and his fight style, at all.

What he can do is WIN. And win he can.

Make no mistake, Wlad when he was younger, was helluva exciting. It was only when Wlad got old and started to be cautious with his chin is when he got boring as hell.

Deontay Wilder is EXCITING. A little provocative too. He sparks interest. Intrigue. Something more we have to see from Wilder- especially from the way he wins. He makes you feel that he can get into a few exciting scraps at HW.

Joshua doesn't give you that. Not at all.

His personality is also too bland.

His personality is also too bland.

It's BOXING not professional wrestling I don't personally give 1 single fuck about if someone is entertaining in interviews or whatever as long as they are good in the ring!

Anthony Joshua is a little stiff, he'll have to watch his stamina with his style.

Anthony Joshua is a little stiff, he'll have to watch his stamina with his style.

Of course his ability is too bland. And it isn't Professional Wrasslin', but a little charisma would do wonders for your pockets- as well as flare.

That flare and charisma shows confidence. That confidence shows in and out of the ring. Draws people to you to a large degree.

He certainly won't win over heaps and heaps of fans as the title of this thread is asking for the next SUPERSTAR. Real!

Utter bullshit

Joshua fought in Glasgow a few months back and the noise as he walked to the ring was amazing as if he were the home fighter.
That very rarely happens to an English fighter.
Everybody in the UK knows his face from the London Olympics and people genuinely like him.
What he's done so far in the ring is highly entertaining as he's battered everyone he's faced in style.

I've said since he won the gold medal that if he can take a punch then boxing and England has a new Superstar.

Crawford-Mikey Garcia winner would hold some clout maybe one of these young Jr-Middles like Julian Williams or Errol Spence

England also used to cheer Gavin Rees... and are in love with Frampton and Quigg. They do not cross-over to the international community. Calzaghe, for as good as he was, didn't cross over to international appeal.

You have the lowest expectations and ideas of a Superstar.

You have to be able to sell a fight.

Look at the difference between Andre Ward and Carl Froch. Ward is the better boxer but Froch has the audiences and purses.

How about we just get a guy who can perform in the ring and judge him on that? They don't need to cut promos and be a cult of personality. I'm a boxing fan, I care about the ability a boxer shows rather than how he does during an interview. I support fighters not infomercial salesmen!
