gnasher16 29,664 Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Kennel blindness comes to mind on this thread.... Bang on..............i think its horrible how so called Brits can be so biased between one British sportsman and another.....people have their favorites thats fine but to be so poisonous towards another Brit just because he,s not your favorite Brit very strange ! It doesnt take an experienced boxing eye to see Joshua is an outstanding prospect what folk find hard to admit about that i dont know.....i remember seeing fighters like Honeyghan and Benn when they were young prospects it was like watching a young David Beckham kick a ball or a young Tom Jones sing a song it was obvious you was watching someone special and you didnt need to be a footballer,singer or indeed a boxer to see that........how special remains to be seen with Joshua but there can be no denying he is a special prospect. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 29,664 Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) talk about his camp being nervous ,the whole set-up is a joke The kid is promoted by the most succesful promotional team in British boxing at this time..............little Peter Hennessey is hardly in the same league. The kid is training in the most succesful stable of fighters in the country....................Fury trains in a small family run gym. The kid is trained by a trainer with world title winning experience....................how many world titles has Furys trainer trained fighters to. Professional athletes surround themself with the most capable people within their field which is exactly what Joshua has done.....most people would call getting your friends and family in to run your boxing career a joke.

Spot on that. He's being very sensible and his team are doing all they can to ensure he succeeds and has a long career ahead of him. Nothing wrong with that. We would all do the same, or at least those with half a brain would. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiercel 6,986 Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I don't know why people use the term granite chin beacuse granite isn't actually that strong one tap with a hammer will break granite same with the term cast iron breaks very easilyboth be hard to punch using your fist though cushty? When has a hammer been used in a boxing ring? Didnt they used to call Henry Coopers right hand Henry,s Hammer ? who was called the ghost with the hammer in his hand,think he was from wales, Jonny Owens from Merthyr?

Silly question I know just curious tyson wasn't a prospect at his age, he was world champion at age 20. i dont like to see all this bickering about who's this and that. off course people have their favourites and thats our own choice id like to see all our prospects get up the ladder and hopefully to the top. who is the best? well time will tell but the young joshua is a very good prospect at the moment and the division being the way it is im sure he could go all the way. as gnasher has said he is in a top camp who will get him the chance of success. if he don't go all the way he will certainly make a lot of money on his journey and good luck to him 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
