    Do you think Anthony Joshua is overrated and over-hyped?

    Perhaps maybe the hype is too much on Joshua, what do you think?

    I still think he's good but he hasn't proved himself to be "all" that just yet, still has a lot to prove.

    Overhyped. But, that doesn't mean he's bad. He's quite good. Just not as incredible as many want us to believe.

      Overhyped yes and that’s Skysports for you. Overrated nope not IMO. The guy has only being boxing since 2008. 20 pro fights and he has done well for himself compared to his rivals. Personally I don’t actually rate him.

        The division is weak, he is simply head and shoulders above the other guys right now so yes is a bit overrated but so are people like Wilder and Fury. None of these guys would hold or have held belts during the 70's era.

          Of course he has a lot left to prove. He's still young, and relatively inexperienced.

          He's made good progress so far, though, and if he can iron out some of the roughness in his work, he'll be at the top for some time.

          Just look at 28 year-old Lennox. Comparable issues with regard to defence - not sharp enough, and just pawing with the jab; holes in the guard etc.

          AJ could learn a lot for Lennox and Wladimir.

            ... Joshua is still a "work in progress"... but that Klitschko fight precipitated things...

                    I think he's justly the #1 heavyweight right now but for sure he's beatable. Certainly not a Lennox Lewis calibre of fighter
