What makes Anthony Joshua good?

[juggernaut666]

You're correct, i don't know what "overatted" means. It's hard to take someone seriously when they write like an infant.

Fury all time? No idea. Probably top 10. There's never been another boxer in history with his attributes.

You seem to consider yourself an expert at breaking a boxer down. Dwyer does the same and considers Fury-Joshua a mismatch. Interesting eh?

Fanboys like are incapable of breaking down anything legit .My guess is you've never actually stepped foot in a boxing gym,but at least you got Fury top 10 correct but its nothing to do how smart you are more your fanboyism for him !

He is:
- Very big
- Young but mature
- Extremely powerful
- Reasonably skilled
- Reasonably fast

We don't know about his chin or stamina yet, but he is certainly dangerous and got a lot of potential. He will soon have knocked out 4 undefeated opponents in a row (when he is done with Breazale).

Is he actually that athletic though?

He seems rather flat footed and stiff to me which is probably the reason i feel the worst fight out there for him is Haye, IF Haye is still agile enough. Some of Joshua's opponents would make Chris Arreola seem cat-like.

He does have some very good attributes though.

He beat Mo Farah in a 100 meter dash.

He's athletic for sure

Son, you'd lick the sweat off AJ's ballsack given half the chance, i suppose you have him top 5?

I agree with this...The main thing that stands out for AJ is the potential...He could potentially make waves, it is early for him and he doesn't have spectacularly dazzling skills or style, but he is all the of the above, which gives us potential of a big name in the HW division in the near future.

He may not be the second coming of any ATG, but in this era a guy coming through with these factors is great and provides potential, and thats what makes him an attraction. He could become more than that when he steps up and we see how he handles the world level.

In comparison to Tyson Fury, probably not:

I have him over Fury who style wise just doesnt make him the favorite ,sorry thats just reality and why the odds makers have Joshua as the FAVORITE !

[Sugar Adam Ali]

He is huge and he has huge power and is pretty athletic for being so big..

The guy just looks like a star

[sicko]

In Ring IQ, if you watch him he doesn't just try to come in and Overpower his opponents, Joshua will take his time and box and find his openings and create them instead of just swinging wildly and gassing early

Most people don't catch the little thing in boxing which truly the difference between being "Good" and being "GREAT" all they talk about is "Muscles" and "Power"

The man has good Boxing skills and excellent timing which is rare at heavyweight because many are not quick enough to pull this off, very good at catching and shooting which means he can catch guys with stuff they don't see coming which is usually how guys get knocked out:
