    The more we know about Joshua, the less I'm impressed. Louis would knock him out.

    Joshua might have height, reach and size. Power can be debated. He might have modern science, training, supplements and whatever else is new, he might have modern techniques for gym strength and conditioning (box a skinny farmer and come back to me about strength). The truth is skill, technical ability, boxing smarts, ring IQ have devolved in the heavyweight division. Johnson, Louis and even Marciano had experience and boxing talent, not just gym talent, they knew how to fight and developed their style around their abilities to maximise them, Joshua has a game plan, he doesnt adapt during a fight and doesn't have a style, his movement is wrong, he doesn't like getting hit and can't react when he does, he telegraphs his shots but gets away with it cause he fights lack of talent or older fighters. All 3 lick him good, he might get 1 win out of 5 against Johnson as he might catch him with 15 uppercuts in a row haha, in all seriousness yes Johnson didn't have an iron chin so he might be dropped in 1, otherwise his frustrating defensive style will bewilder Joshua and exhaust him. Louis is way to skilled he will have Joshua's tactic board sussed in a round or 2 and will counter him to death. Joshua might win 1 out of 5 with again Louis's chin not the greatest. I think he has his best chance against Marciano who will be hit, but Marciano can come in lower than Ruiz did and he is more agile than Ruiz. Joshua might get a points win or a KO 1 or 2 out of 5. But Marciano gets inside, I can't see how Joshua will deal with him unless the ref keeps breaking it up when Marciano gets in.
