Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Could Face Sprott or Skelton on April 19

[umop-ap!sdn]

I hope they bring him up right and at the right pace, not too slow and deff not too fast. WIth the right maturation Joshua can be huge

Welcome to the boxing 'rushing era' were guys get title shots with less then 10 pro fights

[Simurgh]

They are not rushing him. He blasted all opponents in 1-2 rounds. This guy gave Chisorra 9 solid rounds - good surviver. AJ destroyed him like nothing.

They have no choice but to give him Sexton type of opponent. I have no doubt AJ crushes them in less than 3-4.

Anthony Joshua is the real deal. He's fast becoming my favorite heavyweight.

Joshua reminds me of a young Wladimir Klitschko (not the current boring version).

I'm confident that Joshua will deal with Sexton in a round if he wants to.

those domestic guys really have nothing on him. He's too imposing and has too much crushing power.

But would be good to see him fight the likes of Sexton, Skelton, Sprott etc in 2015.

I'd rather see him in with a couple of durable but limited journeymen before moving him onto British title contenders, talking those kind of names after 5 fights is rushing him in my opinion. But Rogan, Sexton, McDermott level fighters soon for sure. I'd give it a couple more before Sprott.

[Tom Cruise]

he hasnt even took a big shot yet. they going to fast with his career he will get beat at euro level.. even fraudley had better technique than joshua.

I don't think Skelton and Sprott are a sign they are moving him too fast. Both are average fighters who are WAY past whatever prime they had.

Both probably should have retired

[Tobi.G]

Sprott yes, Skelton @ 47 ?? that would be criminal.

Absolutely, the old man would get his butt kicked verry brutally!!

[yoz]

Joshua will most likely ease past those guys too.

Aye, before Prizefighter Sprott was KOd in the 1st round by German prospect, Erkan Teper (then 10-0 6KO)

Skelton is a good move. Pointless giving Joshua more guys he will easily dispatch of inside 1 or 2 rounds. At least Skeltons old self might be still durable and seasoned enough to stick around and make him work for a few.

He isn't going to learn squat from Avilia type opposition.
