    I love the potential that Anthony Joshua has, but I hate when people jump the gun on guys. Just let them develop. Joshua has a big upside, but to say he would beat Ali just doesn't make sense. Maybe after his career is over then we can go back and say he could beat a Ali. But a young Ali(pre champion) vs Joshua now, well Ali would put a boxing clinic on this dude. I just haven't seen enough of Joshua to think differently. He just hasn't fought anybody to make me think he could compete with a young Ali, and that's no disrespect to him because I expect big things from him

      Well you know how the british fans are like, they hype every possible future "good boxer".

      Price, Fury

      Joshua too, who hasn't fought anybody.. what can I say? The brits are biased as ****

        Joshua is humonstrous compared to Liston and Foreman, and he has wrecking balls for fists.

        Ali can't rope-a-dope this guy. He's gotta stay moving for 12 rounds.

        I think the mid 60s version of Ali would use his incredible speed, reflexes, and intellect to win by UD, but it would be a scary fight to watch.

          Americans are jumping on Joshua hype train just as much as Brits are these days. We've just been watching him longer.

            I am British,but I never hyped up Fury nor Price or thought much of them,I thought Haye was a talent but wasted at that

            Fury will not beat Wladimir but I believe Joshua could with his power,His punches look a lot more powerful than the likes of Wladimir with what seems a better arsenal of punches and combinations(this guy is accurate)

                Hell after Cornish he can retire, nothing left to prove.
