After watching a highlights package of his career, I became a bit skeptical about how hard he really hits. You'd notice most of his opponents are not fighting back and Joshua ends up using them as a heavybag - there's only result when that happens. Adding to that is the fact that the stoppages came after an accumulation of punches rather then that 1 punch KO that guys like Mike Tyson had.
Now I followed his amateur career very closely and he was not really a notable puncher. He was more of a boxer and when he faced a big puncher he ran for his life. In the Olympic Games he didn't even get 1 stoppage and all of a sudden he turns pro and becomes some knockout machine?
He's got potential no doubting that but the hype seriously needs to stop.

good point; we'll see when he steps up against someboody
People calling him the next Lewis or the best heavyweight in the last 30 years... I've seen NOTHING to suggest either.
Who's called Joshua the best HW in the last 30 years?

I just watched the first half of that first video and it wasn't impressive at all. Wilder's punches look way better here.

Just ignore how stiff and retarded he looks...
At the moment the hype is warranted. He is an exciting prospect.

I hate the way he pronounces everything.
Its definitely a posh accent, would love someone like Carl Froch to do commentary as much of a knob he is but he knows his ****.
