Thurman is the better boxer, but Porters energetic and swarming style gives anyone a tough fight. One of the best I've seen this year mate!

Vanoli 4,623 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Maybe I'm absolutely off my head, but starting to wonder if Joshua is REALLY punching as hard as people are saying. Looked immensely frustrated in his corner after the fight,went absolutely scripto at whoever tried to wipe his nosebleed. Don't get me wrong, he has 1 punch ko power, but can't help but thinking it might not be as far and away more significant than the other top level heavyweights as most are letting on. His speed is the main weapon, and speed and timing are more important for knockouts. Breazeale and Dillian Whyte took his shots pretty well for 7 rounds, Whyte has never really until now got it right in training and Breazeale was an incredibly basic operator. Most importantly though, Amir Mansour whos 47th on boxrec had Breazeale doing fucking cartwheels. idk just a thought. Rounds in the bank are important but that was largely an exhibition. Joshua looked very static and predictable to me, same combos, chin in the air, little to no head movement or little feints. Jab was slightly sharper on the plus side. Still no doubt in my mind that Fury takes him to school. Actually changed my mind on Wilder as well, would fancy him to chin AJ as well as Haye. And Luis Ortiz destroys every man in the division, bar none. But no ones gonna fight him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big fuckin lump that stood with his hands up all night shouldn't take 7 rounds to get him out of there. Parker will be the exact same Imo. I have said it from the Whyte fight Imo fury will beat AJ doesn't matter when that fight happens. Parker Imo will be his last fight of the year. my 2017 aj fight wish list price, Haye, fury? AJ will wipe all 3 of them out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about the age tho. Duck him for 2 years and it'll be a very winnable fight for them. He's 37, and a Cuban 37 after all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got great power but he's slow and ponderous now outwith jennings (who's not great anyway) he hadn't beaten any half decent fighter Thompson was finished and was slower than Chisora and Kevin Johnson if that was even possible Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
