Anthony Joshua: The Future of the Sport

[alexguiness]

[QUOTE=Banko Villas;17194038]Anthony Joshua is the future of boxing. There is no way to rationally refute that fact. He is massively big, extremely powerful, okay skilled and even pretty fast, too. He is young, only 27, and he has only fought 17 professional fights, but he managed to win all of them by knockout, even against 4 huge undefeated opponents in a row, and he is a world champion! Now he is about to fight Molina, which is a well-deserved break from his routine destruction of undefeated fighters. Joshua is a guy who comes to **** and he makes it damn entertaining every time. And he looks cool too. He got the image and style to bring boxing back and make heavyweight great again.

Hate him or love him, Joshua is the future.[/QUOT

Post of the decade, right here...thanks Eddie.

Fury is the future and the future is here.

Fury does everything better than AJ except in the power department, has a more fan friendly style, has a better resume, more charisma, and is a flat out hungrier fighter.

There is nothing, NOTHING that sets AJ aside from any random club fighter in the division over the last 50 years. The day there is, you have a point.

Fury on the other hand, is a perfect specimen, a prototype HW monster, sweet pea in Goliath's body. Boxing's Achilles.

He is a good addition to boxing but he isn't the future of boxing. No one man is the future of boxing and I wish people would stop saying that. Since boxers only fight twice a year these days this is even more true. He is a good, exciting heavyweight who knocks everybody out and I'm a big fan but if he quit boxing today boxing would carry on fine without him. Boxing is surviving Mayweather's retirement. The good future of boxing depends on lots of good fighters and good fights.

If Fury is the future of boxing then boxing might be in real trouble. You have the true heavyweight champion of the world who talks tons of disrespectful trash but no longer wants to fight at all. When and if he returns to boxing and shows he can fight as well as before I'll be impressed. Till then I have kissed him off. It won't be the first time a fighter has quit while on top. Remember Pavlic.

Fury is a perfect physical specimen? He is huge but a body beautiful he ain't. Joshua is a much better built athlete. No comparison.

Wasn't Frank Bruno the future too? Looked good on a poster, until he fought someone with a pulse.

AJ - lots of potential though.
