I'd like to see both Joshua and Wilder take part in more training camps with Klitschko while he is still around. Have some of his professionalism rub off on them.

But yeah, a whole lot of people said that about Price. A whole lot. Not sure if Klitschko himself but Manny Steward and many others in the Boxing world. Basically everything I hear about Joshua now I heard about Price.
Not comparing them, just pointing that out.
I'm far from sold on Joshua though.

He is stepping up quickly, Bakhtov is a very good step up and hopefully he continues to improve but he strikes me as a bit basic and slow on his feet.
I just haven't seen anything that has impressed me thus far but its still early days.
Maybe too soon but I would like to see him in with a Takam, Mansour in 5-6 fights time. The guys he is fighting atm aren't doing anything to help with his progression, just looks like he is stuck in first gear.
A lot will say that is too soon but a legitimate HW prospect should be dealing with those guys 15 fights into their career. Nothing special about either.
I may be wrong, but I really do think he's not letting his power go early because he wants to go a few rounds. I mean, it was evident in the last fight - but I think that's what he does every time to work on a few things.
I think Mansour yes, Takam is in another league for me (to mansour). It would be foolish to take him on in 5-6 fights time. 10 fights time or more, then he'll break into the top 10 fights.

Originally posted by LacedUp View PostUndisputed heavyweight champion, Wladimir Klitschko, was on ringside today and talked about the experience of having Anthony Joshua in camp.
Amongst other things he said:
- He has one of the greatest potentials he's ever seen in a heavyweight
- He's willing to learn
- He's technically a very good boxer and has transitioned well into the pros
Klitschko is obviously someone Anthony Joshua should and probably does look up to a great deal. If he can take some of the things on board that Wladimir is willing to give teach, he can have a great career.
Have a look:

I have seen little of Joshua so far, but he certainly has potential. He is very raw still, with a good trainer he will certainly be a future top contender. All of the physical attributes are there too.
