Great gold medal robbery for joshua

[frosty-g]

he's about 21/22 so he could easily go to next Olympics and still be young enough to fight at the top professionally for a good few years, Hearn, Warren, Maloney, etc are probably ringing him now offering lots of money but if he stays amateur and wins a world championship and defends his Olympic title in Rio he's going to be able to command even more money, why throw that away for some quick money now and risk ending up with a dodgy promoter?

who exactly is going to buy him his second gold medal?

How does the UK keep producing so many good amateurs? Why can't the US with all their money and resources do this?

Why can't the UK produce any good pro fighters?

[Tobi.G]

Joshua has enough Amateur experience, he should turn pro NOW.

The Earth turning on its axis on the Mayan Calendar deadline is more likely than Joshua staying ammy. He'd be nuts. Get that cheese and learn on the go.

Yes, the Olimpic Robbery of the tournement, this guy is not even close to be the champ.

[cuzzlo]

He has raw ability but I don't think he really beat Cammarelle or Savon, I have a feeling the pros will not be easy for him and he is no Lennox.

I thought Joshua lost to the Cuban and also today to the Italian. That gold medal for Britain is a little sketchy.

I wouldn't mind if all the British boxers all stayed amateur.

At the very least it would be hilarious to see Anthony Joshua KO some poor ****er from the ****** Island's in about 12 seconds at the commonwealth games.

I just saw the fight and the Italian won ... the judges just gave the fight to the British because they were fighting in UK...
