    When Frank Bruno used to fight and gas really badly in all of his fights in the later rounds, the commentator always commented on how his muscular frame slowed him down and was a disadvantage. He burned through more energy because of the muscle, and was also a lot slower and less agile.

    The same thing applies to AJ. Sooner or later AJ is going to need to fight into the 9th, 10th, 11th rounds and he is going to be out on his feet. Or AJ is going to be in a real war for 4 or 5 rounds and empty his tank getting through it

    Joshua's got a very small head and relatively narrow shoulders for a man of his size. He's not naturally a guy who should be packing the muscle he's carrying, one of the (many) reasons I don't for a minute believe he's clean.

    Also how do you retain that muscle mass if you are in a mainly aerobic sport?

    You lose muscle mass through running and aerobic activity. Even just through pad work and sparring.

    It looks unnatural as you say, and impossible given his chosen sport to retain and maintain that level of mass without being on something.

    I posted an image up on you-know-where comparing Joshua side by side with fighters of the past (Dempsey, Louis, Marciano and Ali) and the difference was ridiculous, not just in muscle mass, but in vascularity, body fat, everything. Apparently Joshua possesses genetics that no one in the last hundred years ever had. What a lucky man.

    This is going to be an epic event with 90,000 in attendance and untold legions viewing on pay per view

    Wlad knows it's all is on the line and he will be more prepared than ever by revising his Game plan to a more assertive, aggressive style . Wlad will redeem himself..... bet on it !!

    How does the same thing apply to AJ, no idea how you came to that conclusion.

    All the evidence so far points to Joshua having a decent tank. After 7 high intensity rounds against Whyte, taking plenty of punishment to the body, he was still fresh and nowhere close to gassing. Still had the power to knock Whyte cold, and looked like he could have gone on and done the full 12 comfortably.

    Well no **** he is far bigger than guys like Dempsey, Marciano and Louis who would be fighting at LHW in this era. You could do the same thing with countless heavyweights over the last 30 years, there's nothing new about Joshuas dimensions. Wlads bigger than Joshua.

    AJ is quite a big guy, I was suprised to see that he's bigger than Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson.

    Wladimir has said so himself he is 6'5''

    Bottom line is big is big, and when you are big measurements do not matter anymore.
