Anthony Joshua Dropping Wieght, Currently Wieghs 242lbs

[Larry the boss]

Yea he seemed to stiff and big his last fight, glad to see him realize this

Serious question. Has he been subject to VADA for his recent fights? Parker insisted on VADA for the unification. Could be a possible explanation for the weight loss.

They get tested pretty good by brit commish I really don't think he is juicing.I was thinking this powerlifting he was doing was some mental thing like he thought he could lift away his chin or something.Because Hearn was expecting him to be lighter by a stone for last fight because he thought the 250 he weighed for Klits was too high and then he came 4-5 pounds higher.Obv I don't know for sure but with there testing over there and his LOVE of lifting I think he is clean.

he probably wants to drop down and challenge canelo

If this is true its the BEST thing he could poss do.All that extra bulk from powerlifting was killing his stamina.His last fight was REAL bad he gassed by 5th in a fight that was fought at his pace all night.It was so bad I was thinkin almost anyone with a chin and some desire to go thru 1st 4-5 rounds of punishment could beat him.I was ready to give Parker a REAL GOOD chance if he came in over 250.He looked so much better vs Breazeale at like 243.I hope its true as a fight with Wilder could be HUGE for boxing.All REAL fans of boxing should be rooting like he ll for BOTH in next fights and demand they fight by summer.

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.

For a poster to claim hes always a step ahead of everyone you always prove to be behind and subtle pretend to not know when it fits the mood?

Joshua weighs about 240 ,he weighed around that when training for Pulev but put weight on for Takam for obvious reasons . With Parker he will have to chase him more .

The whole weight issue is nonsensical anyway, hes been over 245 most of the time how ignorant is it too think ANY weight will effect this fight ? lol

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.

He is regularly tested, I remember an interview a while back where he said he must be the “most tested athlete in the world”, which isn’t a surprise really given he has different sanctioning bodies all testing him etc - and the uk is well known for being more strict than other countries.

Right there are MUCH better over there on testing.And I also think he is clean but I REALLY hate this era.Its like prohibition if your not gonna go all out with testing(365)its almost better to not test at all.But it really sucks when you see an improvement in a fighter and you have to wonder(my homboy truax comes to mind)

This can only be a good thing.

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.

And he will not have to "chase" Parker.
