    Do you think Joshua is mentally very strong and have very good work ethic for training and fighting? He is in shape of course, but is it because he is the genetic freak of nature or because his mind is special?

    Boxing is so much about so called "mental fitness". We'll get more answers in the Klitschko fight if he really has champions heart. This dude Joshua has really all the tools be the great role model for young athletes if he continues to success.

    Eddie Hearn in his back. Big money involved. Gained like 25 lbs of muscle after turning pro. Yes roids could be the case.

    It sure as hell appears so. He has that roid gut going on.

    I actually like Joshua because he seems like a good dude and the guy has talent... I'm just suspicious of certain things about his physical growth in the past few years.

    When I hear AJ speak he sounds very level-headed. Not full of him. Currently, I rate his mental strength as good but that's just an impression I'm getting. We'll get a big clue when he gets hit with the first big hand by Wlad. If he can weather that then he's the real deal.

    He did look imo a bit unnerved when Wlad was speaking after he beat Molina. Could just be me but he's got alot riding on him for this fight.

    He's shown the mental fortitude to stay in fighting shape year round without blowing up between fights. Doesn't seem arrogant or have a big chip on his shoulder either. We'll see what type of heart he has when he faces serious adversity.

    It's good to see a current heavyweight in shape, the same with Wilder.
    You can say he is on steroids if you want, but i have seen his training routine and even tho I'm not saying that you would look like that for doing it, i wonder how everyone would look after that kind of workout.
    When it comes to his mental strength, he sure has lot of success right now but i want to see him facing adversity in the ring.

    Joshua passing drug tests just shows how far testing has to come before it is credible. He has a big HGH gut and everyone notices it, yet he is supposed to be a role model for kids, complete joke!

    Let's see if he holds it together when he gets hit in the face. They have previously paired him very well to ensure this didn't happen. I personally think that he hasn't been tested enough to match it with Wlad. Whatever the Wlad version.
