Why is Anthony Joshua so over-hyped?

[Eff Pandas]

Most HW's who've had high level all KO or mostly KO careers on the level of Joshua or better have had a solid level of hype behind them rightly or wrongly. Thats all this is.

In a fight or three Joshua could go the way of peak Tyson & be the most feared guy in the game if this domination continues or he could turn into more a Frank Bruno type cat who's power is respected, he doesn't exactly suck either, but the Tyson level of mystique & appeal isn't quite there.

And Joshua is surely helped out more on the hype end by looking the part which often isn't the case. Guy gots a movie career ahead of him if he plays his cards right.

Because he said ****** shit and took steroids and drugs. Fury has nobody but himself to blame.

I don't care what he says, he's an athlete not a politician. As for the drugs, the campaign of hate against him would drive a lot of people to drugs. If he had been treated as the hero he should've been, things might have turned out different.

I disagree. Fury IMO hurt himself with his actions. Plus most objective fans saw the Fury/Klitschko fight as a boring affair where Fury didn't really win the title as much as Klitschko lost the title. Didn't see Fury's potential to be more than a lucky champion.

I honestly enjoyed the Fury - Klitschko fight.

So.. You're a scorned fury fan jealous of Joshua and want to blame someone else for furys problems?

The man had no respect for the sport and any of his opponents. He was a misogynistic, racist, ****phobic imbecile.

But what's that got to do with boxing?
The same could be said about Muhammad Ali.

In my opinion Anthony Joshua needs to take a fair few learning fights before chasing unifications. For example, the Carlos Takam fight was such a good learning fight for Joseph Parker. The likes of Bermaine Stiverne, Kubrat Pulev, would do wonders...

He is more than just big and muscular. He throws fast hard accurate punches with both hands and in combinations. I think he is today's best heavyweight.

Future star, hard hitter, face of a model - What's not to like?

Future fights looks intruiging.

[SplitSecond]

Heavyweight, olympic gold medalist, properly promoted, ko artist and appropriately matched opponents for the most part.

The answer is simple, he is from UK.. They hype their boxers..

P.S - he is skilled and has a great potential
