[QUOTE="OhDannyBoy, post: 728004, member: 72517"] This is all a bit premature. We have no way of knowing that. Previous to[U] [B]Kevin[/B][/U];) Johnson, he fought a succession of fighters who were not even close to being in the top 50. His last three opponents, with an average age being in their late 30's, had lost [B]52[/B] fights between them....most of them enjoying sustained losing streaks latterly. The facts are that Joshua is powerful and looks set to go far. It is also a fact that he has fought absolutely nobody above a certain ability that has bothered to try and hit him back. Kevin Johnson, whilst being the highest rated fighter he's fought yet, was known for being an extremely lethargic survivor, who'd lost 4 of his last 5 fights, and was not ranked within the top 30 anymore. It's a bit like the David Price hype. I'd wait a bit and see what happens when he comes up against somebody with a bit of ability and a desire to win. EDIT: You can add Wilder to that too....the only fighter he has fought of any note is Bermaine Stiverne, who I have had my own personal doubts about with regards to out-and-out ability. [/QUOTE]
