Where does Irish Anthony Joshua rank in terms of most talented prospects ever?

[LetOutTheCage]

He won a gold medal in the Olympics. He's steamrolling everybody.

He's the real deal. I have an eye for talent.

He was handed a gold medal at the Olympics, Erislandy Savón beat him comfortably he also lost to Ivan Dychko imo. His first live opponent was Dillian Whyte and he got exposed a few times in that fight. Joshua should stay away from Haye because he will get found out by an agile and explosive fighter like Haye

"Won" A gold medal lol. It's an accepted fact that Joshua was handed that gold in as bad a manner as that Korean guy vs Roy Jones. Joshua lost at least 2 of his fights on route to that (fools) gold medal. Erislandy Savon was robbed horribly.

And you failed to mention that Joshua was about 210 pounds at the Olympics, where there was testing present. Now he is 245 pounds of cut muscle, what does that tell you?

100% roider man.

he was dehydrated man! 100% exemptor

Who was the other guy that arguably beat him as well? All I remember is that Savon obviously beat him. The boos rang out.

The only fight more shameful at that Olympics was Khytrov vs Ogogo hahaha reminded me of Martinez vs Cintron. Ogogo got the living **** beaten out of him.

Ivan Dychko was the big Kazak fighter, Joshua met him in the semi's. I also think Joshua lost to Roberto Cammarelle in the final. I believe the gold medal was very much a home decision unfortunately.

I don't think Joshua is massively talented tbh. His skills are average, his footwork is poor and he relies on his brute strength. He's a reasonably talented counter-puncher, but that's about it.

Hard to sanswer. Tyson was impressive koing everyone as well. They all look the same!

[alexguiness]

AJ was gifted the Gold, no doubt at all.

But now he has beaten the Gary Cornish (21-0) he is clearly the greatest HW prospect since...David Price.

lol **** off

I stand by what I said, the fight was close (I think the judges gave it 13-11 in favor of Joshua) but I thought Ivan just edged it.
