    I don't think he's going to be as good as people claim. I think he's carrying far too much bulk, like you say, his jaw might be a bit dodgy going off his amateur career.

    I think he's way too obsessed with KO's, boxers need to go rounds to bed in properly. Obviously Hearn is marketing him as an absolute monster & he wants AJ to carry on knocking people out to keep up the hype. I just think it might come back to bite him.

      Joshua was never a known puncher in the amateurs and now he's some monster because he's beaten up a bunch of bums. It's crazy!

        I'll be back here to have a good chuckle at all the people calling Dillian Whyte a bum after we see what Joshua does to him on December 12th.

          He'll go through Whyte quite easily tbh. Joshua is a hard guy to match 'cause he's knocking people out maybe Chisora next? We haven't seen Joshua past ze 9th or having been hit hard

          Thurman Whyte is a decent heavyweight who'll challenge a few contenders and might beat 'em. Largely destined to be fighting other top domestic fighters like Chisora etc. He's a David Price level fighter.

            I think Fury beats Joshua if it goes past 5 tbh...

              mmhmm. His last opponent was literally a carpenter.

                Thought he was a joiner who got 6 weeks off work to prepare for the fight 😂

                  Joshua hasn't done anything yet.

                      He might well turn out to be the GOAT, but you actually have to fight and beat someone before that happens.
                      Yeah it's crazy. People need to remember that if you go back to threads on this very forum or media articles about 3 years ago, the exact threads and articles are the same except it has the name "David Price".

                      We saw how that turned out.

                      Joshua is still a prospect.
