Re Joshua.....yes most fighters who put themselves against top opposition get found out sooner or later ......but occasionally a fighter will stay away from top opposition an entire career and never get found out.....but also never truly know how good they were i dont understand that mentality myself like.

My point was only its not Top Trumps (as Gnasher put it)... I think Fury will beat Joshua now (if they ever fight), Joshua has lools like he has lost confidence and has lost that menace he had earlier on. Fury doesn't seem to want to make the fight though, fighting Chisora is a sham... what is the point in it? Good post that........im still of the opinion that had Joshua and Fury fought 5 years ago Joshua would of taken him out quite quickly.....at that point in their careers nobody had ever really pressed Fury and gone after him,and Joshua hadnt yet resorted to this horrible back foot box fighter style he's been at recently and so would have fully committed to getting him out.....Joshua in my opinion has literally had the offensive qualities he has by nature coached out of him,he's been over coached... no trainer in the world is ever going to make him a polished back foot fighter theres not enough time in a career to start coaching that into someone in their late 20's when they have relied on front foot pressure their entire career. Today its hard to see Joshua beating any top heavyweight as his confidence is shot and that instinctive " tear up " mentality where you use your physical attributes first and your boxing brain second....have probably gone forever now. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
