    Is Joshua the real deal?

    I have seen him in 3 pro fights and highlights of olympics. He looks good but obvi a lil green still ( like All pros are so do t think I'm talkin ****). But I was just curious from those who know him well. Is he the real deal or a Michael Grant?

      I don't know him well, but from what I've seen he has great potential and a good team of people guiding his progress. Far from the finished article of course, but a very promising fighter.

      He needs to lose the muscle however. He looked positively glacial in his last fight, with his feet rooted to the spot at times. He's developed a sort of sub-Foreman stalker style, and while that may work against the slower smaller opponents it's going to get him in trouble against the better movers in the sport, Fury for one.

      He should use this opportunity to work on his mobility and dial down the power a notch. He'd be a much more effective fighter in the long run.

        Hard to tell because he's only fought plumbers, brick layers and joiners so far except one half decent guy who wears a C-cup bra.

        But from what I see so far nothing but his punch impresses me.

          He is good but he is chinny.He needs to learn to fight like Lewis.

            He's good but definitely not this marvel that's going to run through everyone like some would have you believe. I look forward to watching him vs Parker in the future

              He's overrated, but has the potential to be very good. He needs to lose some muscle and get a decent trainer.

                I don't have much faith in him, he reminds me a bit of david price, and if dillian whyte punched a bit harder he would have been tony thompsoned the other week
