    Johnson has a sparring partner mentality. He's got some skills but he's not capable of winning big fights.

    Kevin Johnson is right about Joshua.
    Problem is, Kevin Johnson is a bum too, and Joshua will beat him, probably KO him.

    Joshua has been given a hell of a lot of exposure, but it is to early to say if it is all just hype.

    Saying that, I can't see Johnson beating him. Johnson talks the talk, but like someone else said on here, he has a sparring partner mentality. These days, Johnson just steps in to the ring to survive and usually stinks out the place.

    Joshua by stoppage or wide UD in an incredibly boring "fight".

    Kingpin has to hype up the fight since AJ has no personally of any kind.

    He still going to lose tho.

    Joshua is a good solid prospect. I don't see him being overhyped. He has good fundamentals, unlike Wilder.

    If you want to be put to sleep(warning: possibly permanently if you have a weak soul) then proceed to play the terror below.

    Kingpin says a lot of things.

    AJ is a "media-hype" job, same as Audley Harrison was. However, AJ has the skills, patience and humility to back up the hype.

    Really, Kingpin is just stating the obvious. Like I am :D

    ^^^^^
    Going by this performance alone I cannot see AJ losing.
    Bruno could make a comeback and beat the Kingpin.

    Kevin Johnson has lost 5 of his last 6. He's no better than the other stiffs AJ has been knocking out.

    He's still going to get battered by Joshua.
