Anthony Joshua Dropping Wieght, Currently Wieghs 242lbs

[NahMean]

235 is probably a good spot for him honestly but he and his camp probably know more about it than I do. I can remember a time when a 250lb HW was a fat fckr with rolls spilling over his protector. Today they are huge bodybuilder looking dudes.

Nah there is no way he can make 235..hes too big, he'd kill himself trying to make that now.. His first ever pro fight was around 235lbs.

He looks best at 242/245 and he's weighed around that for most his recent career.

I agree.. He looks way sharper at 242/245 mark.. 250 is just too much for a fight. Every single pound of extra muscle zaps so much more extra energy and stamina as fight goes on. Against Breazeale he looked fresh even in the 7th round he looked like he could go another 12. Even the Whyte fight.. Punch stats show he was throwing more punches as the fight went on to later rounds.

Once he hit 250lbs for Klitschko his punch output reduced by a lot as the fight went on.

Could not agree more I seen it in klit fight also but thought MAYBE it was the size of fight and the fact he needed to be on guard most of fight even though Klit was not chasing him.But last fight was ALL at OWN pace and he still gassed looked much fresher vs Breazeale and Whyte after 7 then he did v Takam.

Not ignorant at ALL!!His stamina in last fight was much worse then in Breazeale or even Whyte fights.And don't sleep to much on Parker because he and Wilder are the 2 best but BOTH are vulnerable.

This is not true bc he went more rounds in the Takam fight and used more movement in and out footwork......nothing suggests he had worse stamina particularly his last fight before that was 11 rnds got hit with power shots AND had to get up and continue mid way through .

You dont get worse ,you only get better with rnds fought in actual fights . Those depending on Joshua to tire also better look at a some Parker fights.

Its a mismatch all around the board ....always will be !

[juggernaut666]

And he will not have to "chase" Parker.

Parker is NOT meeting Joshua head on, it will resemble the Takam fight .... Parker wont last 3 rnds coming forward.

I think you need to watch fight again and yes guys get worse if they are not in BOXING shape cmon that's pretty obv.

Like I said, he and his handlers know more about it than I do. When I was his age HWs were about my size..6'2-6'3 225-230lbs max at the elite level..there were a few outliers but most were under 230lbs. These guys now are just giants man..people cant comprehend the size of a man like that unless they are standing right next to them.

Im not 225-230 anymore , lol

Well he don't run or move around the ring have you seen him fight?And you have way to much confidence in Joshua.If Takam went 10 what the heck makes you think Parker is doomed to an early KO.Esp since he has not been dropped or even really hurt YET and beat Takam.

I hear ya. Yea heavyweights these days are huge.. On average way bigger than they've ever been. But it's all genetics.. Mike Tyson was 5ft 11 but he weighed more than Deontay Wilder who's a giant at 6ft 7... But both guys were/are shredded.

A normal 5ft 11 person who weighed 225lbs like Tyson would be considered fat.

Wilder is kind of an outlier himself..he is somewhat a freak physically, awesome genetics. If he had the skills of a Lennox Lewis, pff shit.

But didnt mike at his best usually come in at around 218-220? Wilder is closer to 228 or so right?
