"AJ beat me up in sparring" Tyson Fury

Around 4:30ish...

Could be the only hope to challenge Tiger Muhammad in a few years time.

What does anything you just said have to do with Joshua's actual quality, as opposed to your perception of him? I wouldn't mind seeing Anthony make an electrifying champion. I just don't see what he did tonight to make him "real."

This guy's just a straight up hater.

He's better now then that fat pudding Solis will ever be.

[Hesh Rabkin]

All the same people getting excited about him were getting this excited about David Price a year ago talking about his awesome size and power and how Tyson Fury was scared of him.

Not true we all knew Price's jaw was literally crafted from fine bone china.

It was also obvious Price is slow as molasses.

Hater? lol Ok, there, Sigmund.

If you truly believe this, you don't have a clue. That fat underachiever Solis, whom I've been critical of since the beginning, would end Anthony Joshua's career right now. Your statement is endemic of these fanboys overly desperate to see Josh succeed. The kid looks good. Leave it at that. I've seen better looking prospects get annihilated the first time they stepped up. Time will tell.

Please, you are the definition of a fanboy, all you are interested in is Cuban fighters.

You were falling over yourself to give that fight to Salinas last night.

Have a bit of objectivity for once.

No.............But Muhammad might not even turn pro.

Oh, really? Do my responses below sound like those of a fanboy falling over himself to give Salinas the fight? Several people in that thread thought Salinas was up in that bout. Not I. Think better next time.

Quigg fought hard. If anyone deserved to win, it was Scott. Salinas reminds me of Lara with that high guard being his only response to in-fighting. Drives me crazy. Yoandris was running around the ring in the twelfth like he was up by several rounds. He needed to lay it all out. Maybe he was just spent. A draw was acceptable; but if anyone lucked out, it was Salinas...

...What do you lot think of the knockdown in the 12th round?

It looked like a slip. I don't know what Salinas was doing in the twelfth. Did he think he was that far ahead on points, or was he just spent? That fight was close, too close to coast in the final round. Yoandris needed to lay it all out. I lost interest in the outcome when I saw that bullshit. The complaining didn't help, either.

I didn't get to see a replay but from where I was sittign it looked like a left hook landed...

It looked like a slip, but I wasn't sure until I saw that Salinas didn't complain when the ref called it such. Then I was sure. lmao That kid was complaining about everything.

He could do with bulking up his legs a bit, they're smaller than his arms

that's what I noticed, very thin for a man of his size.

Having said that, his boxing had a nice solid look to it, unlike many ams who turn pro he didn't throw flailing punches. They were straight, hard and accurate. Plus he looks to have a mean streak. Good start.

also someone said I think this poster New England 'athletes like Joshua are a dime a dozen in the NBA/NFL'

I agree with that statement but how do we know they all have the viciousness and killer instinct it takes to do what Joshua did against even a entry level journeyman like the Italian?


Something of interest:
Max Kellerman on his Radio Show said that after having met Joshua.. he personally feel that Joshua have more brute strength than Lebron James and is more athletic.... obviously this could just be Max trying to build up a future HBO Fighter..........


I will like to see Joshua at 240.. I think that will be his optimal weight.. 231 is good for now though.
