Re: Anthony Joshua

A 90s one I scratch my head about is how Andrew Golota so comprehensively beat Riddock Bowe up twice only to have such a meh career subsequently. Bowe had everything but Golota kept eating his best then repeatedly hit him in the face. Just, how?

Re: Anthony Joshua

Just been watching some vids of Prince Naseem Hamed. Tragedy he lost his hunger. A devastating fantasy boxer in the early years. Hand speed, power, angles. World-level opponents were made to look so slow and ordinary, like he was from a different sport. Shame he ultimately didn't fulfill the promise.
