    Joshua fought Klitschko in his 19th fight I believe from memory. What are you on about?

    Tyson was only 5`10 which is why he would always look human at heavyweight.

    That may be true, but I was responding to a post stating AJ was the 1st HW champ to lose twice to a blown up cruiser weight.

    Thank you for the correction. I edited my post to reflect it. My opinion is that Joshua is not a born fighter that is a great athlete, but rather a born athlete trying to be a great fighter, which wasn't discovered til' he fought Wlad (who could still crack) and then emphatically driven home when he got KO'd by a chubby vato from SoCal who has yet to do much else at that level.

    Therefore, I like the changes that it appears to me that camp AJ are trying to make as (it appears to me) they are designed to leverage his athleticism and in doing so guard his weakness.

    That's what I'm "on about".
