    Botha had a padded record and got knocked out whenever he stepped up.

    I assume this is a prime Joshua we are talking about. That Joshua beats Botha handily.

    What is this "prime" joshua you speak of ?

    Is it when he was put on bambi legs by Dillian Whyte ? Perhaps you're referring to the aj that struggled to put Takam away ?

    Or is it when the he got humiliated by jaba the hutt on june 1st, 2019 ?

    How about when he got schooled by Usyk twice in a row ?

    Maybe it's the time he went life and death with a 2 year inactive beltless 50 year old Klitschko ? Hmm ?

    I was watching Joshua tonight and thinking he is nowhere near Lewis, not near it, so the Buffalo has a better chance vs current Joshua than that Lewis.

    Botha would rock AJ with that sneaky right hand off the jab.

    You clearly dislike Joshua, but you letting that hate get into your head. Joshua would of stopped Botha. He wasn't put on Bambi legs by Whyte, Whyte landed a huge punch on him that have him a wobble, that punch would of hurt even your favourite fighter. He lost to Ruiz but then avenged that loss in the rematch. The fight with Klitschko was a great fight. Please don't lie and try to disagree, they both went for it in that fight. My respect grew for Wladamir for putting up such a decent fight. Both men fought great that night.
    He lost to Usyk then activated the rematch straight away. He lost again but both times Joshua came to fight and done all he could to win. He might not want to be a 12 round fighter but he's proved he can go the distance.

    Yes, he didn't look great tonight. I thought he would stop him and I did feel like the KO was coming but the opportunity didn't come. Franklin looked good tonight and put up a good fight, I for one will be interested to see who Franklin fights next. Who knows, maybe Joshua is done. We will be better at judging that by seeing who, and how, he fights next.
