Comments Thread For: Photos: Anthony Joshua, Kevin Johnson Face-Off After Win

[GoldenGloveLove]

Johnson is the most frustrating heavyweight out there. He's talented in the way Malik Scott is but he's much more durable, has excellent hand speed, technique, defense, then he doesn't bother to try to win. Make you wanna tear your hair out.

I'll give aj credit if he ko's johnson, but im still not sold on him being anymore of a threat than wilder who I thnk has more going for him.

Joshua just had 12 fights you need to wait more. I think he could already hang with guys like Wilder and Fury though! And im sure he would beat Price and Chisora right now.

Haye looked to be blowing before Chisora quit, had Chisora trained for that fight he could have got the job done himself.

And if he was blowing then, 3 long years ago, he'll be in even more trouble against some of the good names at HW if he decides to step up - Jennings, Povetkin, Pulev, Thompson, or even an old-ass Tarver would be a stiff test for someone with the amount of layoffs Haye has had.

I was surprised by Briggs ability to take what Vitali was serving out at that stage, it was a pretty brutal fight, I admired his durability, perseverance and strength, the officials should have made a sensible decision in stopping the fight though, he endured far too much that night and clearly the sustained beating has had an adverse effect.

The blame should be aimed squarely at Ian "I am the wefewee" John-Lewis for letting Briggs stay in there and get his brain turned to porridge mush. It's probably part of the reason he's descended into being such a delusional clown with the Wladimir antics. It's not just roids, it's serious mental illness.

I'm torn on whether I want Wilder to take the "challenge" and put Briggs out of his misery, or whether he should earn his shot at any title by fighting some goddamn names at HW (re:Haye, as I said above). Entertainment vs principle. Always a fine line.

For this point in his career Johnson is perfect. He'll be able to go some rounds while working on some things.

So will you give credit to Joshua if he beats him then?

Also that Zumbano Love character, though he was obviously a bum, went 10 rounds with American prospect Charles Martin. Josh dispatched him with ease

and went twelve rounds with Shannon Briggs

I think Joshua will dispatch Johnson within 5 maybe 4 rounds. Johnson has gradually deteriorated and what I've seen so far is that anyone that doesn't press Joshua and just shells up (like Johnson almost certainly will) gets knocked out and knocked out quickly!
