Is Joshua the real deal?

[Suckmedry]

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.

Keep disrespecting men who would make you cry like a little girl in person

AND GARGLE DEM NUTS BOY!!! DEY isn't clean yet!!

Steve plunger is one of the most bonafide mongoloid posters I've ever come across. His intelligence level actually sullies me to even contemplate.

I don't think he is going to rip through the heavyweight division like his PR team/Sky would have you believe. The division is starting to improve a bit too at the top of the division, so he has more competition there now. Whyte highlighted that he's just a man and can be hurt. I'd say if he was in with a good finisher like Haye, he wouldn't have made it out of that second round.

I think he could be one of the better heavyweights with a bit more experience but i don't think he's going to dominate like people think. Then again, there's no real indiciation of how good he is just yet. The first half decent fighter he fought, he was hurt and showed big flaws and Whyte himself wasn't really a proven fighter so you'd have to say the signs so far are not as convincing as the hype surrounding him.

So basically i have no idea, he's still a prospect. The jury is still out on him for me, but the casual fans have already made their mind up he's great.

I think you've drunk a bit too much over New Years. Can't you see how insane you sound? Joshua himself has said he's not ready for the level that Fury is on and you're hyping him up about how good you think he'll be someday? You're basing this on pure speculation you moron. The boxing world now considers Tyson Fury the King of the Heavyweight division and everyone expects him to be the further too. He was dropped by Cunningham who was 44 pounds lighter but he was still a Heavyweight! He got dropped by Pajvic but was up instantly! Joshua was down against Dillian Whyte in the amateurs and only the ropes and the ref jumping in stopped him from being totally flattened by Mihai.

In a years time nothing is going to happen, Fury will keep dominating as the King while Joshua will fight bum after bum.

Look I have never said he is still not learning and he's only had 15 fights but I'm telling you now in another years time he is gonna be the man in the division...any heavyweight that has only had 15 fights will always say that's he is not ready yet...it's called learning your trade but I see enough in Joshua that when the time comes he walks right through fury ...no lumber some oath has ever held on to the heavyweight title ..Tyson fury is like primo carnero ...u might not like it but I'm telling you now Joshua crushes whiskers fury.....and I told you when it finally becomes that fury will have to defend his belt against him.....ill be contacting you on a little private wager we will have in regards to fury Joshua .....lets see if you back him up with some real green

Joshua has no chance of beating Fury. Not now, not tomorrow, next year or next decade. Comparing him to Bruno would be a compliment in itself, Frank Bruno was out boxing Lennox Lewis before getting KO'd. Do you really think there will ever come a point in Joshua's career where he would be good enough to do something like that?

Fury isn't that good.

Seriously, he's gone from overrated to some ridiculous level that cannot be put into words. Most heavyweight contenders have a chance of beating Fury for fuck sake.

In a funny way, the reason why Fury beat Klitschko is because he beat him at his own game - he's completely dependent on his size. Fury wouldn't be shit if he was several inches smaller.

[D-MiZe]

Joshua isn't particularly that great either. He's fallen for his own hype so ****in' bad and it's a shame, packing on muscle when it was the fluidity at his size he needed the most. Who is even training Joshua?

Joshua also made Whyte look a lot better than what he is, I've watched Whyte and he has never looked a top prospect. If Whyte can bully Joshua then he's in big, big trouble.

All in all, Fury and Joshua are good but nothing special. I really can't see either man being this era's Klitschko, the titles will be getting passed around like hotcakes.

id rather be dropped by Cunningham then get up and win unlike Joshua who got smacked into tomorrow by Nistor Mihai. Then he went onto getting smacked around by Mayomedrasul Medzidov and finally robbing himself to Olympic gold by 'beating' Savon and Cammerellie. In the meantime Tyson Fury was busy working towards a shot at the world champ - the guy who's ass Joshua kisses.

Those fights you're referencing took place within three to four years of Joshua first took up boxing, and that's at a vastly superior level than anything Fury managed in the amateurs.

When Fury was four years removed from having his first amateur fight, he was getting schooled and outboxed by a morbidly obese domestic level fighter in John McDermott. When Joshua was winning silver at the world amateur championships, Fury was getting planted on his arse and getting rocked by featherfisted clubfighters like Firtha and Pajkic.

No you're wrong.

Most Fury fans, including myself, believe that Fury is a good heavyweight but far from great. Most of use believe that Fury would still be obliterated in max 3 rounds by the likes of Lewis, Tyson, Bowe, Foreman, Liston or completely outboxed and stopped late by Ali, Holmes, Holyfield etc. The only people who say otherwise are the moronic Klitschko fans who would disagree to hype up their heros.

Fury may be hyped up by me and other Fury fans but that's in comparison to the heavyweight division nowadays which is completely ****. Fury is far beyond anyone currently in the division. It wasn't size that undone Klitschko, it was more the speed and skill. Klitschko has faced a lot of guys bigger then him and he usually dominates them.

Fury was a better amateur than Joshua, as well as a better pro. Will that change in the next few years? Possibly, but right now. Fury is the number 1 HW on the planet.
