Anthony Joshua's stamina?

[LacedUp]

How many times was Joshua dropped in the Amateurs and how questionable is his chin?

I remember him getting dropped in the Euros. Or actually not dropped, just took a count. But on shaky legs.

And then of course in the whyte fight. Other than I don't remember him getting dropped, but he also didn't have more then 40 or so fights I believe.

Joshua is a hot prospect and I would like to see him go far but remember he is only 14-0. Remember David Price was undefeated and a hot prospect at
15-0 and Audley Harrison was a hot prospect at 19-0 and was a gold medalist. Time will tell what kind of fighter Joshua will end up as. But it is too early to tell still.

Honestly if you don't knock him out, he's going to knock you out. I doubt stamina will be a issue for him.

I'm not sure about that. It would have been easy to say the same about Wilder but when he jumped up in class to fight Stiverne, he couldn't stop him and went 12.

Joshua is knocking guys out now that he should be knocking out if he's as good as they say. It'll come to a point when he moves up where he's landing shots and the opponent is not falling over as easy.

Thats bad if true hahaha

AJ looked pretty done up after his semi and final at the Olympics, obviously he has grown and improved since and has better training now in the pro ranks but I do think, for someone his size, he will have stamina issues against tougher opponents.

Whyte is good, strong and hits hard but he is very crude and I'm not sure if he can go rounds but if he does, then we will learn a lot about AJ pretty soon.

I think we will see a bit more of what Joshua has in his next fight against whyte.....I agree he does need rounds and someone sturdy but he keeps knocking them over , they said after the dillain fight if all gos well there gonna get him to face world ranked and durable contenders, I think the way he fights is conservative and he wastes little energy...clean aacurate puncher that just waits till the moment arrives to finish you , I like the fact that there doing the next fight with whyte so he is kind of cleaning the demons out of his closet ....facing the person who stopped him as an amatuer and don't get me wrong whyte is dangerous heavyweight for anybody not just Joshua he too has massive power, I think the boy is gonna go far and when ever I heard him interviewed he seem s decent humble guy, not sure if he was always like that but it seems he has gained respect for the sport . I think Joshua will be the real deal

He got dropped by dillian whyte with a big punch in his second am fight and he was stopped on his feet against Nistor. Nistor hit him with some huge shots though.

Hard to judge his chin because he was fighting world class opposition when he was very inexperienced.

Stamina is untested obviously but im not buying the argument that his stamina will be **** because hes muscular. Rugby players are regularly between 250-300lbs of muscle and they play one of the hardest endurance sports on the planet.

It needs to be tested...

I have been saying for the past 2 years, Joshua needs to fight james toney.

Low risk
Big name
Toney will give you rounds, has never been stopped
If Joshua stops him, it will be a big deal (though sad)


Joshua keeps winning they need to match him with guys like chisora, adamek, etc..
Guys that can give him competitive rounds

James Toney? Are you for real? Big Josh would knock him out in a round!

And I just have a feeling that he has a good chin and can take a decent shot.

Joshua is a top form athlete who takes ultimate care of himself. I think the stamina issue for him will be answered on how relaxed is he during big fights and how efficient is he in his movement. Early on Wlad had issues with his stamina because he would panic. Steward fixed those issues and Wlad became the unstoppable force that he is today.
