Boxing

To be fair Joshua wasn’t pro at 20 and had only been boxing since he was 18. Itauma was sparring men when he was 15. He was asking pro fighters if he could soar them at 15 years of age. He looks special
We've been here a bit before with Joyce though. A lot of early prodigy hype.
 

Not really. Joyce was in his 30’s when turning pro and was very slow. Itauma hands are fast, got great movement, can dictate at pace. Much better pro than Joyce, ceiling much higher.
Joyce was built up as a juggernaut, a huge unit with bone density like a rhino. The hype up of youngsters is detrimental.
