Anyone else think Joshua losing weight could be a bad thing for his performance?

    Anthony Joshua style and wins so far required some muscular strength. If he was lighter Wlad would have leaned on him more often, but that muscular strength came in handy vs Wlad, can't think of any other fight really, but he might be better off more muscular vs Fury or Wilder. Joshua lean natural weight is near 215-220, so his stamina is better there for sure and he needs it vs a guy like Parker more than muscular strength

    He's got a good team around him. I fully expect him to come in around the low 240's as Parker will have the perceived speed advantage. He's still young his body will cope, this isn't someone like Roy Jones or Chris Bryd dropping weight divisions late in their careers and taking a beating because of it.
