    I wonder if his steroid routine is changed at all based on his opponent. Not trolling.

    It would be interesting to see if they prioritize bulk against a certain type of opponent then shift him over to stamina, etc.

    Not that he really needs it against this guy..

      Would be good to see him use some footwork, lateral and head movement.

      Everything he has admitted here is the reason I have argued with people about him on this forum. His power, height & reach have been enough to Ko every opponent he has faced without ever having to adapt. He's never been pushed or shown any other strings to his bow. I can't accept Joshua is No1 without seeing these things that all the best fighters have had in the past.

      Saying that, I have him just outside the top 5 and would bet on everyone below him getting Ko'd. That's how much I rate him at this early stage.

      I think the top 5 beat him and a few around him would have a chance, be close.

      Breazeale is not going past 4

        Be very interesting to see if he could do that and not gas.

        I suspect he wouldnt last half a fight using lots of movement, but the proof would be in the pudding

          Aren't 40-year-old men who are very muscular usually more suspect of steroid use than a youngster like Joshua?

            Who are you referring to? Briggs?

            Even then I'd say Joshua looks more roided
