Anthony Joshua the Heavy eight Felix Trinidad

[KiloTeague]

Anthony Joshua has been a recking ball. As soon as he lets his hands go, it seems like no body can swing with him and all his opponents can do is cover up. I don't see any current heavy weight beating him. He is the most impressive heavyweight I have seen punching power wise since Tyson. He reminds me a lot of Felix Trinidad. Anyone else see Felix in him?

If not Felix then who else does he remind you of?

He reminds me of Broner. Being hyped up when he's only beaten trashcans. He's the new can man. Cause anybody can get it. Trashcan, soda can, bear can, tomato soup can. Just kidding! But lets not start crowning this guy the king just yet. He literally hasn't fought anybody even worth mentioning yet. At least let him fight somebody like Stivern. Then we'll see.

The reason you can't see anyone beating him is because you've never seen him fight anyone good. You can't evaluate a fighter in that way without seeing how he handles those top guys you think he'll beat. Anyone can look spectacular against low-level opposition. Joshua seems to have a good foundation and may develop into something great but until he fights at least ONE solid fighter (not an unknown/unproven who got a title via fluke injury) you're just creating obnoxious hype. I'm not ragging on him, just pointing out that he needs a chance to show what he has against top HW.

As far as Tito, the are nothing alike. Tito moved a lot and covered ground quickly, was rangey, cut angles, etc. Joshua doesn't exhibit a lot of movement. He's happy to fight at range, using sound technique with creative implements and superior power to overcome opponents. Feet are always under him. He's much more like Canelo than Tito.

He is much better than Broner. Broner is tough, but he's not scary. If you just look at the way his punches connect and the power involved...he's got top 1% power...Tito power for his weight class, and he has much more solid base than Tito and is faster on his feet so his attack is harder to run from. But that kind of power stops everyone eventually if applied at a high enough level. AJ's level surpasses GGG's so yeah more than enough.

AJ is going to destroy Klitschko. He will put him down within 8 rounds.

I would respectfully disagree with your take. The power and committal to his punch is much more Trinidad like. Canelo has no where near the p4p power that Trinidad and AJ have. And it shows in there aggression as Trinidad and AJ seem to have a similar level of aggression. One that is higher than Canelo's. As far as mechanics and style go, I think he is a tad closer to Trinidad. I think his posture in the ring looks very similar to Trinidad. They look alike and they both swing for the fences similarly.

And to say you can't tell what people have if the fight terrible competition is not true. You can tell a lot by watching two guys attack a heavy bag. Let alone a person. The snap on his punches is otherworldly whether he is fighting a tin can or a heavyweight champ. Haven't seen snap like that from a heavyweight in a long time.

I mean, I like your use of video

It works against opponents who can't stick and move, but against a slick technical savant like Tyson Fury who will slip those shots and counter with his own all night, AJ is dead in the water.
