What, in his 15th fight? Obviously not

How many has Usyk had? They both won in London. Or Loma, or Leon Spinks?

Actually one of the dumbest responses I’ve seen on this forum to date. Genuinely thought it was asfkl at first

Never mind, son. Come back when you actually know anything about boxing.

Mickey - don’t call me son and please don’t try and talk down to me. I’ve followed boxing and boxed myself for enough years to know enough about boxing.

If Mickey’s refusing to answer my question - could someone else please enlighten me re: who Geovontra is?

The only boxer I can think of close is Gervonta Davis?!

Fury was a pro at the same time Joshua first put a pair of gloves on apparently. They are a similar age but Fury’s been in the game longer no doubt.

I predict they’ll also peak at different stages too. Given his ethnicity ( travellers tend to age a lot faster generally speaking ) and issues, it’s quite likely Fury’s prime has been and gone. Joshua seems to be getting more confident and authoritative as he goes along. It’s quite likely he’s prime is to come.

nah thats just you seeing one side mate, there has been plenty of good discussions , and there are biased posters both for and against joshua. there are also ppl who repeatedly moan about how everyone is pro-aj when that type of suggestion is simply reflective of there own bias and over sensitivity to people arguing in his favour

aj didnt really even get brought up until mickey took a bit of a dig at him going into the third page (not sure how it was 'constructive'), and then the discussion from there ppl raise legit points about how joshua has not had an easy route as mickey hinted at , or a less ambitious route so far then fury. and again with the amateur comparisons, its a 2 way disucssion with fair points being raised , and again it was someone critivizing aj who brought the ams up too. should ppl not say anything if they disagree?

seems like you might classify disagreement with this 'constructive critiicsm' as 'shutting down' when its simply a response. tell me mate, what is so unreasonable about the counter points people made?

a munchkin who started boxing at 10 and had 200+ amateur fights, totally different from fury and aj

Lol is he going up to Heavyweight or something? Mikey think he's so cleaver but he makes less sense than some of the worst trolls on here

I thought he looked very hesitant against Parker and uncomfortable against POV until the end. Looked much more authoritative against Charles Martin when he won his ‘title’.

The parker fight was a strange one to be sure.

Povetkin was always likely to pose problems, he's not exactly a bum is he - however, Joshua knocked him into the middle of next week, so in the end, it was a pretty easy win.

I think Joshua's achilles heel will actually be lighter more mobile heavies with decent footwork and a dig.

I think Joshua just gave Parker too much respect because it was a unification and overestimated how good he was. If it had been a regular defence, I reckon Joshua would have stopped him.
