Love the fluidity from Joshua but I really want to see him go some rounds with someone who throws punches back.
Joshua has everything going for him right now, if he keeps winning and getting big Ko's he can become a top worldwide super star imo.Comment

He absolutely must go in with some better opponents starting with his next fight. If they do what seems to be the standard thing at heavy these days ie. young prospect faces a bunch of complete stiffs and builds up a record consisting of nothing, then suddenly throw them in with the best fighter in the world, and they wonder what happened when he looks lost, gets stopped and never does anything again, then they're a bunch of ****ing dumbasses.
He's got the type of body and muscles that really, really look wasteful and they better test his stamina, heart and late round effectiveness ASAP otherwise it'll bite him in the ass when they need it least.
He is absurdly huge up top and I think he's going to be just the type of guy that'll get exhausted after five rounds and be largely useless after that as his technique goes to ****e and his musculature actually works against him, and probably easy to stop in the mid-late rounds.
However, none of this will get found out until he gets in there with someone who can actually give him some proper work. He's gotten all he can from these complete bums and crappy domestic level hacks. If he wants to find that stuff out before a proper fight when he'll damn well need to know they better get him some guys that can test him soon.
Wouldn't want another Dabid Price.
As much as I want someone else to test the Klitschkos and make heavyweight even remotely interesting rather than the boring mess it is, I don't see anything special about Joshua to be honest. Same with Wilder. When you look back on great talent, young Lewis, or Bowe, or even the lesser champs of that era like Dokes, Witherspoon etc, they just seemed to have so much more, looked more comfortable, less flawed. I can't even put my finger on what it is, but I just don't see anything special other than that he is actually in shape and trains like a professional athlete, which is largely missing from heavyweight in the last decade so that's a tick in his favour. Unfortunately, the only guys with the skills and boxing savvy to back that professionalism up to make good fighters were the Klits, Haye and maybe one or two other dudes.
I truly hope to be proven wrong though.

Love his combos and attitude in the ring but I need to see him vs a guy of even chisoras caliber. We already know he's miles ahead of his current competition.Comment

How about Helenius?
I'd like him to fight someone good, a top 5, but only if should he loose people don't claim he is a bum and exposed hype job the guys had 14 fights!!Comment

kevin Johnson before the fights behaviour will come back to haunt him, that's why he shouldn't never acted like that. He lost to Chisora of all people.
But Johnson was never going to beat Joshua but I expected him to give him some rounds though.
So Joshua really is the second best in Britain now. Time to maybe fight one of the brits like Price or Whyte and its only to pad the record out a bit whilst the heavyweight champs sort themselves and the pecking order out.Comment

I don't think so, he struggled against Sprott, who Joshua demolished, got schooled by chisora and looked like crap against Sherman Williams.
Where do you go from Kevin Johnson after a demo job like that? It's clear he's levels above.
Helenius can't block a right hand to save his life, is rigid, and isn't mobile and hasn't got handspeed, plus he's smaller than Joshua.
I'd take Joshua to stop Helenius within 4 roundsComment
