      Highly, highly doubt that.

        Joshua can be pushed along pretty quick, that's how a HW should look, just need to see how he reacts once his chin gets checked. He demolishes young fury in my opinion.

          He's got potential but anyone calling him the next great HW need to stop for at least a year or so.

            He needs to fight a Sam Sexton, Martin Rogan, or even a Matt Skelton next.

            These guys with under 10 pro fights really are just sitting ducks for him.

              Obviously it's not usually smart to make big predictions for futures of fighters, especially when they just look good v cr@p opposition, but I think he has the mental, physical and skill-wise gifts to be a big success. One of the most athletic heavyweights in a while, size, intelligent guy, and natural power with a varied skill set. If he can prove his punch resistance and stamina, and move along quickly, he can become like a Lennox-type figure for the UK, in terms of being a dominant champion, if getting nowhere near the Lennox level of legacy.

                Absolutely, no fcking way should he be pushed along pretty quick.

                He has a massive amount to learn to even be good enough to hang around with the top heavyeight contenders IMO, but the most impressive thing about him is that he damn well knows that himself.

                  He could beat a Sam Sexton though don't you think? And Sam is cagey enough to take him a few rounds.

                  But then if you chucked him in with Sprott that would be very interesting at this early stage in his development.

                    I'd rather him have a test than go through his career like David Price did and get shown up when he did step up.

                      **** on, get March 1st out the way, maybe one more, then he should be taking on them exact kind of guys at the back end of this year, maybe by summer, 5 more fights like that tonight this year will get him nowhere or teach him anything...

                      They mentioned getting better sparring partners, that'd be a good start too. Can't imagine people are exactly lining up to do so though, i wonder how they'll sort that out.
