I'm a kiwi, so obviously a Parker fan. Joshua looks pretty impressive to me, but he hasn't been hit yet. I actually hope he has a good chin so we see some great fights with Fury, Wilder, Povetkin, Klitschko etc. and hopefully a great rivalry with Parker over their careers

I like Joshua but am worried about stamina. Hard to think a guy that carries that much muscle wont have stamina issues

Eddie Hearn seems to be willing to cut the brake cables on Joshua now and i personally think AJ has loads more to him that he's yet to be able to show because he's knocking everyone out.
I like his variety of punches especially when up close and he seems to enjoy hurting people which is good to see.
Ok, so I felt like a hypocrite for commenting on a boxer that I've never seen throw a punch so I watched some tape on this kid Joshua. Now I freaking like the guy, dammit. The guy chiseled and most of the time, those kinds of builds lead to robotic fighters but this guy seems super athletic. Ok, now I'm excited too and can admit when I'm wrong. I can see why you guys are excited about this cat.

After every fight Joshua goes straight back to his dressing room after the knockout and works on the pads, if the fight ended 5 rounds early he will do 5 rounds to use that fight night energy. Hopefully his stamina wont be an issue, he's a very smart guy i'm sure he's doing everything the right way.

Actually, considering all the garbage that inhabits the heavyweight division, i suppose that Joshua has as good a chance as anyone over 200 lbs. to snatch some heavyweight belt once Wlad is out of the picture.

He just better not go anywhere near the only heavyweight who can fight--- the Bronze Bomber Deontay Wilder. That boy is the baddest champion to come out of Alabama since the Brown Bomber, Joe Louis.

But don't fret, Brits. Hopefully a title fight for whatever belts Klitschko eventually surrenders can be arranged between Joshua and perhaps David Price.

I have not watched Dillian Whyte, but apparently he may be an opponent for Joshua next? I also read somewhere that he beat Joshua in the amateurs, 2009? He may have just enough of a mental edge from it to make it last a while. As far as Parker, I think Joshua beats him without too much trouble, but would also be entertaining.

Found a clip of the two fighting in amateurs. Joshua gets dropped and beaten, but both look pretty crude. It looks like from 2008? Joshua looks like he gained 50 lbs of muscle since then.

If Joshua passes his chin check then he is in for a very lucrative career, try and get Wlad on the slide or maybe even wait for him to retire. Would love to see Joshua vs Wilder, would be fun !
