Wladimir Klitschko: Joshua has one of the greatest potentials I have ever seen

[Showtime..]

Takam vs. Wilder will be great to see Wilder shut-out.
Takam vs. Joshua would be interesting. Joshua is a tricky fighter.
Great potential though.

Will get iced in a superfight with wilder one day, but I do enjoy watching him and look forward to his fights

future undisputed champ?

I think there are a few good up and coming fighters right now that can't be overlooked + there's still an active, motivated champion who's pretty much untouchable. He won't stick around forever, but we'll see what kind of talent there is once he's left.

I can't wait to see hughie fury get more active again, because I think he's a huge talent.

I really can't see anything Wilder does better than Joshua.

But his knockouts are funner to watch lol

The only problem I have with Joshua is his complete lack of any pedigree.

Never in recent history has any boxer come from a ammy background of 31-3, who'se only had a single digit list of pro fights now as well, in early-mid 20's and became a "dominant" force in the division.

Well here you decide to look after quality and not quantity. AJ took to boxing like a baby duckling takes to water.

Double ABA champion, world championship silver medalist and Olympic champion - many even felt he should have won the world championsship as well! He was ranked #3 and upwards in the world from 21 years of age in the super heavyweight division and won title after title.

He's still not the finished article, and definitely has some things to work with of course, but he's doing that and imo has been good strides in his first year as a pro.

Ps. Mike Tyson's amateur record is 48-6, Larry Holmes and Joe Frazier also had few amateur fights, same with George Foreman.

I know it's different times now, but it's quite rare for a western heavyweight as many fights as the eastern fighters have, because the schools are so vastly different.

Joshua is the truth.

His Olympic gold was dodgy though imo. He got a gift decision against that Cuban guy.

Watch out for Dillian Whyte too, he was part of wlads camp too.
He put a beating on Joshua in the amateurs too...

As Joshua said the other day, he's a beast now. A totally different animal to the 2 fight novice Whyte met that day.

However, Whyte is a vicious fighter himself and could very well prosper or fade into obscurity, depending on which route he decides to take.

[sfalcus]

Yeah, this was just to show he can be hurt, and also to highlight Whyte as he looks to be a great prospect
