Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua With Brutal Blast of Johnson in Two

[Kel1981]

This was horrible. Are these even boxers ?

No they are refrigeration engineers, wrong forum.

[The Hammer]

Is this the 1st time Johnson has been stopped?

Yes.

There's no point in putting Joshua in with more journeymen. He's more than ready to face ranked contenders.

Thompson would be a good opponent for his next fight, as would Browne, Jennings and Pulev.

manuel charr would be good next.

I hadn't seen too much of AJ until now, just a fight or two. Very impressive finish. Glad the ref didn't call it off at the end of the 1st round as there would have been ****** comments that it was stopped too early.
The competition has still been limited though. He did what he had to do in an impressive manner. It's difficult to judge AJ much as it was virtually all one way traffic. His offence is spectacular. He cut off the ring reasonably well.
As long as they keep stepping up the opposition you can't complain. I agree that Areola would be a step up and then Stiverne level or one of the 2nd level eastern europeans.
Comparing to other Brit heavyweights before I was thinking he had a Bruno hype attached but the reality is he is not as stiff as Bruno, closer to Lennox potential. Fury looks to have better movement and better jab but difficult to compare due to AJ's limited competition.

He's not learning anything by blasting out these no hopers early. I want to see him tested.

I'm not asking for him to fight the top echelon fighters but how about these guys:

Malik Scott
Manuel Charr
Bermane Stiverne
David Price
Chris Arreola
Artur Szpilka
Amir Mansour

Guys that will punch back, that aren't going to stand there and take a beating.

He really needs more rounds under his belt to be honest, am impress doe..

[KnockoutNed]

I'm very impressed with Joshua's short combinations, there aren't many big men around today who can put punches together like that. In this thin HW division Joshua is clearly a top 5 fighter.

Made me spill my drink!

Agreed but would leave Stiverne off that list for now, he's a step above the others.
