London 2012 Olympic Gold Medal Super Heavyweight, Anthony Joshua, is going to the pro ranks.
Joshua is expected to sign with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom promotional organisation.
So how will the 6'6" athletic Joshua do, another Audley or could he be a great like the other great gold medal winning Olympian from these shores, Lennox Lewis.
Joshua started boxing very late, and to me lacks some of the technical aspects of the game, I think he could find the pro game very tricky and quite different from the amateurs.

Perfect time to go pro. The transition is hardest of any weight. Joshua has won the Olympics and got to finals in the worlds. Nothing left to prove.
He can take it slow rather than rushing into it like that Price and getting greased by the first half decent operator he comes across.

at D4. Doormen of the world
Must say I was surprised at how poor Price turned out to be against a decent fighter. I thought he would impose himself more and did think he was destined for good things.

Still think he was very lucky to win gold at the Olympics so hopefully
in the pro ranks he works on his feet movement. He has all the tools but time will tell if he's a Lennoxs or Fraudley.

It takes more than skills and physical abilities to succeed in boxing, you need that mental toughness and have the heart of fighter.
And good management of course.
Does/Will Joshua have enough of these attribute?

He has a better chin than price & Harrison. In the end that will carry him against the big guys.
