    I just saw the fight with Johnson and to tell you the truth, i wasnt impressed at all!! He fought a dead walking body a punching bag! Johnson just went to get the money, he didint had any desire to fight or do nothing at all!

    But on the other side, this its his fight #13 so it think his team its doing a good job a developing his carrear.

    Its to early to think about joshua fighting for a title

    lets see whats up

    Joshua is a good but its faaaaaaaaaar too soon to proclaim him the next big thing, he needs to fight a live body who actually punches back, Stiverne would be an interesting opponent.:think

    Joshua is the real deal. He would mop the floor with Povetkin, Pulev, etc. Wlad is the only HW who would be a favorite against AJ, and rightfully so.

    Povetkin would be the test. Skillful, full blown heavyweight who carries power.

    naw, brook is actually skilled, it's just a shame that he's fighting scrub after scrub.

    Just wondered given that you think he's easy work for Thurman. I think that's a real good fight, and they'd both be on high alert mode because they'd know that's a live fight. I'd root for Thurman though, absolutely, because I love the guy. :smoke

    I wonder how he'd perform against Tony Thompson. That could be a good indicator as to how far he can go.

    Impossible to know until he fights a live body.

    This.

    He keeps fighting terrible boxers.

    KJ is not the fighter he used to be. I don't think I would even consider KJ a step up from AJ's past fights.

    AJ might be really good. Or he might not be. It's completely unclear.
