That guy took Chisora 9 rounds as well, I remember that fight. He should give Joshua rounds for sure.
If Joshua can hold a shot , then he could go far he has a nice neat boxing style to go with his power.
Yeah hes a good guy for boxing and I wish him well, I wouldn't mind him fighting Richard Towers in the not too distant future. Somebody whos bigger than him, can punch and can get involved in a fight. I think that would be a good test for Joshua in the not too distant future.
The only thing I think that will maybe hold Hughie back is being in the same camps as Tyson. Id be worried he may get in to that mindset of a sparring partner. Hes very quiet and seems subdued in all the interviews hes done. Big contrast to Tyson who brims with confidence and has a big personality. Hughie also doesnt seem to have Tysons spite.
He does look as though he has the better chin than Tyson. He won a gold at the world junior championships, so has fought world class punchers and has never been hurt or down so far. Joshua was dropped a few times and beaten by Dillian Whyte, in Whytes first amateur bout.
It may benefit Hughie, not to spar with Tyson in future, or at least not as much as they do. He needs to be his own man now so he can progress.
Hughie is only 19 and I think people sometimes forget that when they slag him off. Hes still physically maturing and has a lot to learn. I don't see it as a bad thing being in camp with Tyson and Eddie at all, it will be good for him to learn a thing or two from their experience. No doubt Peter will have Hughie's career as the most important thing to him with Hughie being his son.
I think we will see a lot from Hughie, his body shots are devastating from somebody whos so young and we will see a lot more from him as well in the near future.
I think hes going to be very good but I also worry that being in Tysons shadow could hurt his developement.
Id like to see him open up a bit more like his cousin, personality wise. Id like to see more devil in his work.
He looked good in his last fight, very good for a 19 year old.
I think Peter would have wanted Hughie to get rounds in against a lot of the fighters hes been in with. If he simply said to him go out there and steam roll every opponent, Hughie wouldn't have learnt shit. Peter has told him to take his time in the ring and if a knock out comes it comes. I personally think getting rounds in the bank especially when your young is essential.
Hughie will have to do what he has to do and everybody knows the potential is there with him winning the world amateur title. I don't think he will be in the shadows too much, because hes being active and putting in performances.
Dont get me wrong, I really like Hughie and as hes only 19 I see more potential than with Joshua.
Joshua will look cumbersome as soon as he fights someone decent that can move and its known hes been down. Tyson has been down in the pros but dont think he was dropped like Joshua in the amateurs and that includes taking Prices punches who some would have you believe is the biggest puncher in the world.
Again complete shite. Joshua only started boxing a few years ago. Getting dropped at such an early stage means nothing. Hughie although only 19 has probably in and around boxing Gyms since he was 5. I like Hughie but suggesting hes a bigger prospect then Joshua is just ur Fury fanboy shining through.
We are talking about Tony Joshua right?
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Joshua had been boxing for 2 years when Whyte beat him in his very first bout. Joshua started in 2007 and the loss to Whyte was 2009. It doesnt mean to say thats the first time he was knocked down either.
Pretty much everyone agrees that Joshua shouldn't have even won that first bout in the Olympics to Savon. Hughie travelled to Armenia and beat the best fighters in the world legitimately. I believe he has a better pedigree and is having a tougher more beneficial apprenticeship.
