...before he became champion and he became considered the greatest heavyweight of all time.
I keep seeing when a heavyweight gets rocked while they are still learning a lot of fans write them off.
It happened when Fury got floored in two different fights but he went on to school Wladinir Klitschko.
It's now happening with Anthony Joshua because he was rocked against a solid undefeated contender in a fight which he came back and won in emphatic style.
Him getting rocked is nothing. It happens to all heavyweights. What I saw was a shaky defense, that he needs to tighten. He leaves his chin up too much. Tuck that thing down.
Those are the things he definitely needs to work on, he needs to move his head a lot more too, he is a prospect and a work in progress. I like the fact that he himself is putting a lid on all the hype that the media (Sky mostly) are creating around him, he knows he needs another 2/3 years of boxing before boxing someone like Haye. But he should not be fighting bums neither.

Boxing fans watch a Sport where people beat each other with there fists, and than we call someone a bum when they get hurt.
Worst sports fans ever...

It's 2015, people overreact to anything these days and boxing is no different. Everything is taken to the extreme now. If you lose you're a bum, if you get knocked down you have a glass chin. It's nonsense.
A loss to a good fighter is no big deal, someone has to lose. Being knocked down in part of the game. A guy like Tyson Fury doesn't have a glass chin at all just because he's been down a couple of times. These are big guys, even a guy like Cunningham will still be carrying some force behind a punch, if he hits you right then you might go over. It's getting back up that matters. The best fighters in history have been put down.
Joshua WILL get put down sometime and hurt badly like others have, even the greats. He's just a man in there with other big men. It's what happens after that is what will matter.
The reason people jump on it now though is because of media hype and the likes of Sky feeding a false illusion that he's invincible, unstoppable and the future of heavyweight boxing which is just ridiculous to say at this point. But you hype a guy in that manner and he shows he's not exactly what they market him as, then people are going to jump on it.
It says alot about the division when you consider that cunt a solid undefeated contender...
That's a bit harsh. Dillian Whyte is a good fighter and I think he can come back from that loss.
