    This is good fight for Joshua at this stage.

    Wach have big power in his right hand. If this fight happen we will know more of Joshua and how really good he is.

    I'd be impressed if he floored him, but actually stopping him would be a very big statement. Wlad hit's like a truck and he couldn't put him away so I can't see it happening.

    I will be really impressed if this fight happens, Wach is the sort of guy Heavies beat to get a world title shot, more about the poor division than Wach been quality, but he is seriously durable and dangerous. If the fight gets made and Joshua wins, credit is well due. If he wins by knockout it is very promising but prepare for hype overload.

    Anyway, fights got to get made first!

    Exactly, who else can give Joshua 8+ rounds who's not a top 5 guy?

    Wach appears to be on the slow side but he is fundamentally sound and is very tough. The big Pole is somebody every other young gun has avoided. I like Joshua's chances in the fight. IMO Wach will have to catch lightning in a bottle to win it.

    So Whyte in July and Wach in September, much better tests than Johnson. Knowing Hearn it won't happen.

    Shannon Briggs. He's capable of taking 200 power punches to the face before his first knock down.

    You know...if AJ wants to fight roided Briggs I wouldn't mind it! He's a good opponent for him at this stage.

    Vitali wasn't a massive puncher don't read too much into that fight.he didn't last till the mid rounds when he was in his prime vs Lewis,chisora seen the final bell and Williams was gettin up time and again,vitali's power is exagerated

    Watch last 2 rounds of the Lewis fight after 22:20. Even though he got knocked out in 5, he proved to have an ATG chin. It's just incredible how he handles so many power punches and even manages to stand up from knock downs specifically from the one at 27:25. He has one of the worst defenses coupled with one of the best chins of any lineal HW champ. I don't understand how he is still healthy from all the punishment he received throughout his career. He's a genetic freak.
