    Joshua doesn't have the speed, power, or technique to trouble Wlad, even at this late age of his.

    It's impressive the type of symmetry most boxers are able to achieve with their body. But, yeah his delts and traps do look kind of overdeveloped for a fighter, but still not musclebound or a gasser.

    Him and Hugie Fury are the only upcoming HW's that I haven't added to the doss pile yet.

    Lol i think with all that bulk, Joshua could cut down to cruiser.

    I saw Camerelle beat Joshua in the Olympics, he was given a gift after being clearly out boxed. Joshua wants to fight Vlad in 2015, says he is ready to beat Vlad, I guess he has brain damage this early?

    We'll see where he is in 2015 when he wants Wlad. But I suspect Wlad will be fighting for the WBC belt next spring.

    I doubt Froch has ever been as high as 185lbs. He weights in the low 170's in his fights and doesn't walk around much heavier, he probably walks around at 175lbs.

    Joshua does look huge, especially his arms, he gained about 10lbs since he turned pro and it all looks like muscle. I hope he doesn't get any bigger, 12 rounds is a lot when you're carrying that much muscle.

    Joshua is decent

    Just a shame he will have to waste his career avoiding Wilder because Wilder will KO him inside 1 round. Fact

    Joshua is weighing about what you'd expect a 6'6 HW to be weighing. Hes basically the same weight now as Lennox Lewis in his prime.

    Freak athlete.

    Joshua is by far a better boxer, his power is close to that of wilders, he's quicker better technique Joshua will achieve far more than Wilder in his career

    Wilder's already in a very good place to win an easy title.

    Joshua, like Price is fighting better LOC than Wilder did to get there, but let's not pretend that either is a LOCK for a title.

    If you had to predict, one or the other would become a dominant champion....Joshua, Wilder, Fury, or Price.........really tough call for me.....

    I hate Wilder......but he could win a title in September. Which might be more than either Fury, Joshua, or Price ever do.......idk. :think:think
