    All I know is Charlie Z would've been sleeping like a dead fish on the gym floor had he eaten a Joshua left hook.

    On the money, Jason Gavern 26-19-4, knocked out 9 times. Rated 149 at heavyweight according to boxrec. Joshua already has the next fight lined up for a month later Kevin Johnson, 29-6-1, rated 55th in the world.

    I don't get how these rating systems work. How can Joshua be the #20 guy in the world if he's only beaten the hundredth best fighter? Why doesn't he have to beat the #20 guy to move up to his position? It's like the top ten is full of guys who've never fought anybody in the top 10. This doesn't make sense to me.
