    How good is Josh Kelly?

    How would you compare him to somebody like Jaron Ennis?

    Who the mother truck is Josh Kelly? Sounds like another anglo-bum

      He'll come unstuck once he fights a half decent pressure fighter. I'm calling it. Either that or his body will break down like every single fighter that's ever been with Adam Booth. See Haye, Groves, Burnett...

      He's a show pony. Crowd pleaser. That won't work when and if he gets past half decent opponent and starts facing fringe world level contenders. Then again he is with Matchroom. Cherry picking fo' life.

      Oh. He's another Kell(y) Brook. He's already trying to make a name off Khan. Heard Booth and Kelly both say they'll accept a fight with Khan if the opportunity presented itself. These guys named Kell need to get a grip and carve out their own career in the game without all this clout chasing that goes on these days.

          We'll find out when he fights a good opponent.

            He needs a Brandon Rios type of opponent to really measure him!

              He looks good, but he isn’t as good as a lot of people think imo. I don’t think he is talented enough to make that style work at the top level. Would like to be proved wrong because he is sitting on a potential hotbed of boxing support in the North East and would be great to see a world level fighter from those parts.

              Apparently he is facing Avenesyan next. That would be a great test for this stage in his career and would tell us a lot.

                From what i've seen he has good athleticism and speed. Can be caught with his dangerous style though. Also looks to really balloon up in weight in between fights. Hate seeing that in young fighters.

                    Out of the gate I thought he was going to be a superstar, then i thought I badly overrated him and that he wouldn't get past fringe world level, now I'm somewhere in-between. He'll become at least European level, I think he'll be a world level fighter, but winning a belt will be hard in that division
