    Future Superstar if he continues to improve and get better.

    Fans need to stop trying to rush him along and throw him in with PRICE or somebody like that, he will get to that level eventually but he only has now 9 damn Pro Fights. WTF is the rush exactly? Let the kid grow into his stardom don't try to hand it to him and then fans will turn on him and try to label him "OVERRATED" and a "HYPE JOB"

    Joshua career is moving at the right pace

      Shannon Briggs should troll him around London.

          A serious prospect it has to be said. He has look hugely impressive so far and is fighting and beating very experienced opponents only 9 fights in.

            I know you're taking the piss but that's actually a really good opponent for Joshua at the moment.

              They're talking about Shannon Briggs potentially fighting Audley Harrison. Would be a fun fight.

                  The potential is there. He still has a lot to learn offensively yet he is already downright frightening when he goes on the attack. I do have questions about his defense and chin -- I think both will be tested sooner rather than later simply because he's not very quick.

                    His defense is definitely leaky, but I don't think he has a weak chin. Not like Wilder. But I would say he's quite quick in hand and foot speed for such a big lad. Decent head movement too.

                    He's made good improvements since his debut for sure.

                      i won't call him that as I don't think losing a bout is the end of the world like most here. I got no issues with him fighting a few more journeymen but a guy like sprott is going backwards after what he did to bakhtov. I like the idea of a bigger opponent. earlier I said pala (who floored price but lost) but Nicolai firtha also comes to mind. he is 6'5 & can take a punch. kevin Johnson could be another potential opponent too. he is big & durable. he doesn't punch hard either....
