    Depends how quickly he does it and if it is a clean KO or not.

    I expect him to win and win via stoppage as he is likely to be the hardest puncher Johnson has faced to date. But if he just grinds him down gradually and stops him late or stops him while Johnson is still upright and with the ref intervening it wouldn't be mind blowing in fact it's expected.

    But if AJ blows him out early with a clean KO then that would surprise me and impress me. Doesn't mean I would think AJ is the real deal though as all Johnson brings is durability and caginess.

    If he knocks him out good and proper he deserves a lot of credit, he's only had 12 fights. I'll be ****ed off if the ref jumps in prematurely just because he takes a few flush shots though.

    Johnson will take a dive. He's just showing up for a paycueque.


    Joshua is feasting on a guy a shot to **** Chisora put down.


    It's a mismatch.

    Not much.
    Johnson isn't good.
    Even guys like Fury and Chisora beat him easily.
    It's about time someone stopped him.

    Kingpin is shot and was down against Chisora!! Chisora couldn't even knock down Helenius despite using him as punching ball and Helenius wobbled several times against Shermann.

    Depends on the nature of the stoppage. If he gets a dubious 'British stoppage' I won't give him any credit whatsoever.... If he bombs him out in a couple of rounds I'll be impressed.

    Myself I would give AJ quite a bit of credit and I have picked AJ to win by TKO 3

    Good credit, for his 15th fight, it's a solid opponent for a young fighter like AJ. They can step it up with Euro level names now. A guy the level of Charr - coming off a victory - would be perfect. Down the line, they should target a guy like Pulev. I think AJ could take apart Pulev in 18 months from now.

    What are u talking about?! Fury is ranked number 2 to 5 depending the sanctioning body. Joshua did much better than Fury, I for one give him credit for it. He is the best young talent in HW hands down.

    Very good victory, a clear stoppage, Johnson simply couldn't take Joshua power, and Joshua was all over him putting too much pressure.

    Anthony Joshua has wladesque power, not like his slapping brother.

    And he uses it even more than Wlad.
