Is Anthony Joshua a potential contender or champion

[badnewsbrown]

It's easy to be a contender as a HW. I'm pretty sure he can grab a belt after Klit retires soon.

Lets put it in perspective. He is 9 fights in and he has already fought, beat and destroyed better competition than Deontay Wilder....and I like Wilder, no hate.

... I'm waiting for the day when Joshua will KO Wilder -- that sticky-legged guy...

Malik Scott is arguably better than anyone Joshua has faced, but then many people think Scott took a dive.

Either you one of those brainwashed kids like OneRound or one of those fossils like Corso to be that naïve.

Let me tell you an OPEN secret...

It has never been more difficult in history to become a top contender now.

You have to either be 6'5+ and a supercharged athlete of the most juicing proportions WITH decent skills to even be considered worthy of the accolade OR you can be much smaller and/or less athletic but ONLY if you have skills so far beyond ordinary that unless you had been training since a baby you might as well forget about it.

This is why we are seeing more Euro contenders now which are "raised" to be boxers rather than US counterparts who come from a life of street crime mainly and just happen, through thuggery, to stumble into a gym.

And then even if they get to the top there was 2, now only 1, basically invincible mountain of muscle with some of the sharpest skills ever honed at HW in the world and determined never to risk a loss probably ever again.

Yeah of course Anthony Joshua will be a top contender. He is ****ing enormous and he is roided to the absolute gills. The guy could probably outrun Ben Johnson over 100m and punch a hole through a reinforced concrete wall. Not to mention the guy can actually box!

When you think about how fat, midget absolute lummox bums like Frazier can be champ and a drunken obese emporer penguin like Tony Galento could be a top contender in past eras then it should come as no surprise you moron!

Joshua submits to year round testing, not to mention Olympic testing. Not saying he's clean but there's little to suggest otherwise.

I am not bagging Joshua, but there is not a "natural bodybuilder" in the world, let alone boxer who looks like that, really.

For objective conversational purposes it must be assumed beyond any reasonable doubt that he is so full of PED's that half his fight payments are likely donated to research into artificial livers!

I'm not particularly concerned that he uses anyway because these days, MOST do.

About the only HW I am pretty sure is relatively clean is Chris Arreola. His gifts are natural, his work is natural and he shuns weights etc. And he certainly LOOKS natural. Fortunately he is 6'4" and 240lbs when relatively in shape anyway with a chin of rock and hits like a truck without it and beyond average skills so good for him.
