    True boxing fans love Joshua

    To be honest, you're not even a true boxing fan if you're not a fan of Anthony Joshua. There is simply no good reason to not appreciate what this guy has done and still is doing is.

    In only 16 fights, he:
    1 - Is undefeated.
    2 - Won every fight by KO.
    3 - Was the only boxer ever to stop Kevin Johnson. Vitali couldn't do that.
    4 - Beat 3 undefeated opponents in a row.
    5 - Won a belt.

    In 16 fights, Joshua has seemed flawless and all arguments against him seem to be desperate. He got youth, speed, skills, massive size and extreme power. We don't even know about his stamina yet because his opponents can't survive many rounds against him.

    Joshua is a nice guy, he talks well and he should make all the Povetkins and Stivernes of boxing feel ashamed for not at least trying to remove the body fat.

    The best thing? Joshua will soon have knocked out 4 undefeated opponents in a row (Breazale), which will bring him to 17(17)-0 and he will then destroy either Wilder or Fury. People are still gonna hate on him after that, but this guy is just what boxing needs. Explosive potential. This guy is the future.

    Another point - imagine if he actually does beat Wilder or Fury. Then no one has ever done something similar within 20 fights.

      Another thing is, that people say boxing has gotten boring. Joshua is the cure to that.

          Johnson is not an elite fighter, but he got an iron chin. To destroy him like that and so fast is impressive.

            Fighting the way he does is not technically very pleasing to watch, and the jury's still out on how AJ will manage against someone like Haye, or even Parker. It's way too early to be talking about KO'ing Fury... and let's be serious, that would be his only hope of winning- to knock him out

              KJ had lost 5 of his last 6 fights before fighting Joshua.

              Do you really believe he wanted to take 12 rounds of punishment?

              Iron chin or not, his confidence would have been at an all time low.

                The best technique is to use your physical attributes in a way that grants you victory. And Joshua does that. Haye would stand a chance, due to his fighting style, but I don't believe that either Fury or Wilder will survive a Joshua assault.

                    Look, I'm actually a huge fan of AJ, and along with Algieri and Thurman, is likely my fave active boxer. He takes his craft seriously, is a gym rat, understands that his body is his tool of the trade so he keeps it in exquisite shape, isn't a slob, is doing his best to maximise his boxing career as long as it lasts.

                    However, there's no such thing as a correct or incorrect preference when it comes to personal tastes (in this instance). Floyd Mayweather Jr is my favourite boxer of all time. I absolutely love his boxing style, his skill, his work ethic, etc. But just because I like him, doesn't mean that those who don't are in the wrong, because they have their own personal tastes and preferences.

                    If somebody doesn't like AJ, they are well within heir rights to do so, and can't labelled as no being "true" boxing fans.

                    There will always be haters, because people have the right to hate.
