Can Anthony Joshua fulfill mike Tysons potential??

[djcomplex]

The guy looks awesome and the way he is getting opponents out of there is very Tyson like...he is young fresh strong and really focused!

Can he take a punch ?? The question is will he ever really have to? Tyson was rocked only twice b4 the buster Douglas fight, once against Bruno and once against tony tucker, it's hard to land against a fight with so much physical attributes.

I have no doubt he will win a world title soon he is that good..but when he wins that title will he be able to stay hungry and focused and fulfill the potential Tyson never reached ? This guy can be heavyweight champion for a very long time....

Thoughts ???

Well, I think he will take over the division, when Wlad and Povetkin retire.

First let's see him fight a live body. His chin and stamina are still very questionable.

Agreed but that's only because they haven't been tested, not because he's necessarily shown weakness in those departments.

Have him fight Pulev....or somebody like that. Hell, have him fight Stiverne or something

Povetkin is a joke and would be embarrassed by Joshua. Russia is a very dirty place when it comes to PEDs... And that's a Fact!!!

Now to the question, the problem with Tyson was he was defying the odds being 5'10" and was coming into the age of the big tall fighters. Joshua is perfectly built for this division and the future that it holds. Personally I always had the feeling watching Mike someone would expose a flaw, but Joshua is so big and athleticly gifted that the only possible flaws maybe a weak chin or weak stamina... If Joshua holds those gifts as well, the division maybe cleaned out in the next few years.

Wilder v Joshua could be a big fight in a few years.

No that's speculation, what is a fact is the amount of American boxers who have tested positive.

Slow down man,ya'll try to hype fighters to damn soo. Let him grow as a fighter and we will see what he has

[Mr Randy Watson]

he would have to have mike tyson potential in order to fulfill it. I don't think he does.
