Anthony Jushua is a great prospect but he needs to learn how to fight tall.

I watched Charr vs Bakhtov earlier.
Bakhtov had his moments vs Charr.

If I was Hearn I would get Charr over.
I think Big Josiah steam-rolls him.

 

No, Joshua should fight Johnson next. He needs to get some rounds under his belt.

 

That's a good idea actually.
Bad thing is though I honestly think Josh knocks out Johnson!

He's too immobile and will be absolutely obliterated by Josh.

 

He should also fight Ustinov next year. He's a big, tall, hard-punching HW.

Another opponent could be Joey Abell. He's a hard-punching southpaw. Give him some experience against southpaws early, like Floyd did. Floyd fought a southpaw in his 2nd pro fight.

 

What's the difference?

 

fights on the front foot with hands down. he's asking to be ko'd. plus he has toothpicks for legs.

on the flipside...i like his hand speed and punching.

 

taller fighters have a higher center of gravity and should use that to their advantage by fighting tall. when they're hunched over that front foot with bent knees...they're giving away all their advantages.

 

Josh isn't your Wlad clone who fights from his jab.
His movement and bent legs helps him with his angles while on the attack.

He's not been in trouble in any of his fights yet using that stance.
He's open to the counter sure, all aggressive boxers are.

Josh has a good beard though, and if he's not being hurt than why go on the defensive when he can take them out as he's been doing.

 

He has a good jab, but I rate Parker's better. I think he's a bit less hittable though.
His jab will score knock downs. It's fast and he try's to hurt you with it.
That does not mean he's the next big thing though, and he has to establish that jab for it to work on a guy like Joshua. These guy's are far, and away the 2 best HW prospects ATM.
Usyk is lurking in the CW division, and I rate him right with them, but he might be 2-3 years away from competing at HW.

 

Jeez give Joshua a chance he's still green. As Curtis Cokes said about unbeaten Ike Ibeabuchi when he get nailed on the spot we'll know if we go a potential champion.
Ike passed that test against Greg Pickrom
