Comments Thread For: Hearn Likes Idea Of Anthony Joshua-Kevin Johnson For 1/31

Interesting to see if he can stop him.

Hearne needs to start showcasing Josh outside of the UK for his next fight & then nail English titlist John McDermott. AJ is an apprentice in the pro ranks!

[Rip Chudd]

Might as well as go with Malik Scott. Johnson would definitely take him 10/12 rounds and AJ stamina needs to be groomed from now onwards but the fact that Johnson doesn't really throw anything back is just annoying to me.

Scott would actually have a chance to win, where as Johnson would just show up to get a check

Good news. Johnson is the right opponent for Joshua at this point.

Good to see he's being promoted/managed properly.

David Price was not promoted wisely by the drag queen, he wasn't fighting often enough and wasn't getting enough rounds when he was at the stage Joshua is now.

It's a different 'look' for Joshua, so this should be interesting. Neither Vitali nor Fury could stop Johnson, so let's see if Joshua has the patience to chase him around the ring for the full distance. He certainly can't afford to get sloppy, because even a feather-fisted Johnson is still slick enough to get a shot in.

David Price was not promoted wisely by the drag queen, he wasn't fighting often enough and wasn't getting enough rounds when he was at the stage Joshua is now.

Price had one of the worst build-ups for a HW prospect I've seen in a long time. To go from McDermott, Sexton, Harrison and Skelton... to Thompson... what a dumbass move. I wanted to like Price, but he's too much of a big stiff idiot to support.

If Joshua stops him that would be insane.

kevin johnson knocked out leapai lol!

[New England]

nice fight.

if anything, it's too much.

joshua can handle himself, doe, and i think he'll do fine.


i like our AJ. if he were a real american, we could have a great on our hands.

he was also a big, stiff goon.


joshua has talent. he moves well. he also had boxing skills.

if his chin and stamina are legit, he'll be a player. his bone sttructure is small for a super HW, so i'm holding out on his chin. small hands, neck, etc.
