Comments Thread For: Bernstein: Joshua Could Be Best Heavy of Last 30 Years!

[KO'er]

Big praise indeed from Al.

[Kagami Taiga]

Wayyyy too early for thst type of praise. I think people forget what sport this is sometimes

[BigAlexSand]

I agree with Al, 100%... So far from I have seen, the mix of speed, power, technique, and growing skill could produce the Best Heavyweight in recent times.... And that is not saying anything about his size.

People are quick to claim, PEDS... And that very well could be true in this day and age of sports but till then... He is showing a extremely bright future where I see him devastatingly beating the likes of Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and this current Version of Klitchko.

Who knows how good he can get. Maybe better than Lennox
Lewis or better than Ali even? But maybe he won't be. He's done nothing so far he is in the dsame boat as whyte, parker and the other brits

Way too early to be saying these things about joshua. He's got a ton of talent no doubt but can we wait and let him accomplish something in the ring and prove himself before we say he's going to be the best heavyweight in the last 30 years. Let him prove he's the best TODAY before we start talking about the last 3 decades. Geesh

Forgive me for being pessimistic....but it may be just a TAD early for these kind of evaluations

[wildman]

Al simply said he thinks this. He didn't say anything about Joshua's resume, just his potential. I agree with him. I think Joshua is the real deal and will become great. Just my opinion. Of course he could prove to have weaknesses we haven't seen. But I THINK he will be great. Like Al, just my opinion.

This is probably a sign that Al needs to retire.

Joshua is a pretty phenomenal fighter, my biggest worry for him is can he get a 2nd wind when he needs, because of all that extra muscle mass.

And I also question how long his body will last, I think it's clear he's a heavy ped user, I won't be surprised if he gets some serious ligament and joint injuries which derail his career.

I think Parker could very well end up having the better career, long term.

Fury as well hes just 1-2 years older than Josh and already champ.

Unfortunately, I think the majority of top heavyweights are juicers.

There's been solid research on the maximum lean BMI obtainable by natural bodybuilders and most studies point to 25 at best. For someone 2 metres tall, this would correspond to 100kg. Now would you say AJ has 13kg of body fat on topof that? Highly unlikely, not to mention the fact he trains for boxing and supposedly doesn't weight train.

You deduce the rest.
