    Steroids don't necessarily give physique gains.

    Amazing. I like that comparison.
    I always had this idea that Joshua could be a SHW version of Louis.

    Why does no one ever consider both sides to this? Okay, Marciano isn't the mobile target, but there is a guarantee that Joshua has to make adjustments punching at a very small surface area than what he is used to.

    You have it built up in your head that Joshua is an invincible warrior.

    Lampley is a useless Hype/Agenda Man, He sickens me with the way he tries to influence viewers. Just Roy and Max would be a much much better viewing experience.
    But Joshua looks to have a bright future.

    You can tell the way he pronounces and enunciates words by what he types? We will have to be wary of you!

    Modern training has changed so so much..

    Did anyone see how seriously gassed Joshua was at the end of his fight with Klitschko?

    He leant against the ropes and his trainer Rob McCracken screamed at everyone to give him space for a full 90 seconds before he would allow anyone to celebrate with him. He would not allow him to be mobbed because he knew it would have been too dangerous given how seriously Joshua needed to recover.

    I can't prove anything but it seems to me almost fishy that a spurt like that in the 11th round (as strong as the other spurt in the 5th) could be produced after several rounds of looking so tired.

    Perhaps Joshua really is a physical phenomenon but usually reaching the stages of near exhaustion produces a more weary and less explosive appearance? Especially from a fighter reaching the 11th round for the very first time.

    His trainer was so concerned, worried enough he might faint,that it was serious enough to keep everyone away from Joshua at the end of the fight. No immediate celebration!

    I think the training diets, and all the other stuff that cannot yet be detected in urine tests, is so very scientifically measured that the trainers know the dangers of an athlete tipping into beyond the highest physical limits of a body. It's almost like a balancing act. It's entirely artificial too.
