Yeah because he's needed the refs and judges so far, right? What happens when he KOs legitimate contenders? Considering he started boxing at 18 and thus had a limited amateur career, his pro career is progressing at an incredible pace. Just because there's hype surrounding him doesn't mean he's overrated. The hype is completely justified. It amazes me how many people are critical of Joshua when he is the most exciting heavyweight to come around in years.
Even the numbskull who wrote this article makes a feeble and ill informed attempt at deflating the significance of his KO victories so far because they aren't against the best heavyweights in the world. If he or anyone else who criticizes Joshua for the level of competition he as faced in his career knew anything about boxing, they would know that you don't immediately step up a fighter with very limited amateur experience to the top level just because he's progressing quickly and demolishing his competition to date. He has shown all the potential in the world, is commanding huge audiences and interest worldwide and as long as there's room to grow, there's no need to jump the gun.
Joshua is facing Klitschko next which is a huge step up in class and a calculated risk to say the least. Very few heavyweights would go near someone like Klitschko with so few fights under their belt and even fewer would have a chance of winning. It's only because Joshua has looked so good so far and there's been so much buzz about him that he is expected to fight a former undisputed world champion and beat him in style.Comment

What do you prefer, feather-fisted runners who are arrogant and ****y outside the ring and produce nothing even remotely exciting inside the ring? Since you seem to be so much against boxers with legitimate power who demolish their opponents I would suggest you find another sport with limited physical contact.
So let me get this straight, people who like powerful punchers who are respectful and grounded outside the ring and vicious and devastating inside the ring are effeminate? You don't seem to understand what the overall appeal of boxing is and what makes it exciting and memorable.Comment

Spot on m8t! you see Deontay is a role model citizen of the United States of America not some convicted scourge of society. Then we can talk about how he robbed the Italians of a god medal then he started to do the very same drugs he sold to cheat his way to victories in his professional career and finally he met up with one of the biggest crooks in all of boxing none other than Eddie Hearns -- whos been buying him world titles along with the help of that other fraud Gypsy Queen....sickening when you put it all into perspective....nothing like good old American spirt of HARD WORK DEDICATION....staying prayed up and living a clean life. U.S.A!!!Comment

Are you really that ignorant or are you just naive?? There have been loads of US boxers who were less than savory individuals outside of the ring yet they were still great fighters with successful careers, holding a legitimate place in boxing history. Violent crime, drug use, spousal abuse and corruption have always been a part of pro boxing. Many of the most memorable fighters of all time came from impoverished, underprivileged crime riddled backgrounds and thus became a product of their environment, knowing nothing but having to fight for a living. Such fighters as Jack Johnson, Sonny Liston, Mike Tyson, Johnny Tapia, Dwight Muhammad Qawi, Bernard Hopkins, Diego Corrales, and Edwin Valero fit this description. I use American fighters as an example to prove that your description of clean-cut, angelic role models coming out of the U.S. exclusively is preposterous.
The next U.S. president is a narcissistic, hateful, childish, dishonest, deplorable human being so good luck with that.Comment
