    10 fights in and I cant really complain about his opposition.
    His level of opponents for his first 10 fights are better than who the Klitschko's fought in there first 10 fights.

    Personally I think an easy fight for Joshua would be Lucas Browne, he has a bit of power but is so easy to hit but has a good chin. Joshua would kill him in the ring if you compare the handspeed and power of the two.

    He did 9 because the fight only lasted one.

    Because maybe they don't want to rush him and then ruin him?

    And how long ago was the Olympics? How many fights and how much training has he had since then.

    Not sure why he is getting criticism for fighting Sprott, this guy is durable and very experienced. Not his fault for dispatching him so quickly. Name me a HW who has fought his level of opp 10 fights in, and Kingpin on his 11?

    Pretty damn good so far and he looks ready for a title very soon.

    He lasted 9 with Pulev as well. Doesn't necessarily mean anything, but it's a notable stat.

    Sprott is a good solid domestic fighter with a solid record. It was a good win for a young up and coming fighter. Obviously AJ has more power than Pulev, so I guess Sprott being KO'ed was likely.

    Chisora/Fury fight for the title on Saturday. Whoever wins on Saturday will likely vacate although not instantly as Frank isn't going to do Hearn any favours with Joshua. I suspect that after Johnson Joshua will fight Cornish (who is the mandatory for that title) in March/April in London.

    Everyone needs to slow down with Joshua. I like the way Eddie is bringing him through. He desperately needs rounds and Johnson is the perfect next fight. He is also a good talker and will drum up some excitement. No point putting him in with Price at the moment and Fury and Del Boy are too far of a step. Its tough to match him because of the state of the heavyweight divison worldwide. Be patient, Enjoy the ride. End of next year he will be right in the mix.

    I don't see Fury fighting enough British challengers at his level for him to hang onto that title. Intriguing if Fury does not want to vacate if he wins on Saturday.

    Fury shouldnt bother with joshua, fury is a top 10. when he beat gsora, he should go for takam, povetkin, jennings anyone like that.
