    Johnson did nothing to trouble him? Yeah there may be a reason for that, he didn't get chance to! Give him some credit, Fury and Chisora both fought the exact same version of the fighter, he was a better fighter vs Vitali, and neither Fury or Chisora could get even close to that, AJ smashed him like not many others could, Wilder, Klitschko and Povetkin are the only heavyweights that could have done similar to that in my opinion.

    Those guys don't fight the same style though

    Frazier beat Ali, Foreman destroyed Frazier, so Foreman kills Ali, right?

    Styles make fights, and I still think Tyson would beat Joshua

    Lets hope Joshua has a chin and stays disciplined, so the Klitschko era can finally end.

    Joshua is the real deal, and has been moved significantly swifter than most heavyweights usually are (as every fight at heavyweight is dangerous, theoretically one punch away from an upset etc).

    You would have to be exceptionally mean spirited to deny him his current run of success - Johnston was brought in specifically to give him rounds, not for an easy KO. Joshua is just making it look easy - hard to begrudge him for that.

    I'm British, I respect all fighters. However I do have an issue with the hype surrounding him (due to Sky Sports).

    Exactly he was terribly sluggish and looked shot. But that's not Joshua problem he would've beaten the best version Johnson IMAO.

    Incredibly unlikely that he is on steroids, considering how many years he was amateur and went through all the drugs testing for a huge chunk of his life.
