Re: Boxing/MMA

From what I've seen Joshua appears to be an exceptionally well grounded and thoughtful individual with a lot of talent but I do think he's being steered too far too fast and that could be catastrophic. That having been said, the quality and depth of talent within the heavyweight division doesn't compare with was it was at its height so there's probably never been a better time to be 'fast-tracked' in this way. If he has been 'pushed' into this think his advisors may have made a big mistake, gambling that he'll make it through, rise to the challenge, feed their egos and generate them more millions. I really do hope it works out for him but something in me says it'd be better for him, in the long term, to lose this fight on points and learn from the experience before taking on another world title shot. He's a very gifted young man and if handled properly could be a great champion as opposed to someone whose career was cut short to suit people who probably aren't all that interested in his long term prospects.
