Your thoughts on Joshua.

[Colinc]

He's already gettin hyped up to much, but for a lad who only started boxing 3 or 4 years ago he hasn't done bad for himself , we won't really find out how good he is until his 15th or so fight

My thoughts are he is raw as fuck - but understandably so.
How much his chin sticks out shows he is a young guy with not lots of experience of being hit on the chin by big punchers without a head guard on.

But the fact is he first put gloves on 5 years ago. He should be thinking about an ABA title never mind an Olympic Champion turned pro. So he is entitled to plenty of time and to be brought on slow.

He does have the touch of Bruno about him though

[El Kabong]

Stiff in the upper body, big shoulders....yeah Bruno

[GAME]

Dont put Price in the same category as Bruno.

The connection is that they are both bangers who gas easily. Who knows price may eclipse Bruno and win a title at the 3rd attempt instead of 4th. We don't know but I do Hope Joshua doesn't turn out like either of them

If you listen to Earnie Shavers blather on about how he fought he admits he fought TENSE. Bruno fought tense, Price fights a little less tense I actually think he can be fixed. Joshua looked tense in that fight, but it was a big stage, decent opponent in front of him...he had every right to be a bit stiff in there, he needs to get used to the bright lights though because they'll be on him for a while. If he learns to relax a bit then he won't have the problems Shavers, Bruno, and Price have had. Loosen up, every single shot doesn't have to be a KO, just learn to touch your opponent up and you'll be better off, let the KO come to you.
