    Wlad would agree.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    indeed he was not amazed with his "power"---could it be overrated power?

    He overwhelmed Sprott more than hurt him. Plenty of others have hurt and dropped Sprott.

    This is the danger with moving him up too quick against someone who can last 12. I think Joshua has fallen in love with his power and with a big crowd at some point he will try and open up. If he fails to stop the opponent, Johnson or whoever and there is still a good portion of the fight left, will he have anything left in the tank? His body type doesn't scream stamina.

    That would be the concern.
    Ideally he needs to just fight an iron chin with no power or work rate.

    The more I think about it the more of a gamble Johnson is. He's being given plenty of preparation time as well. He will probably just let himself down again but he definitely has the potential to turn Joshua on his head.

    Iron chin?

    No, id go for a tough scrapper that makes everyone work but does get hurt. Even if he doesn't go many rounds, he needs to be put under some kind of pressure. Go for Minto, Gavern, Sherman Williams, do it in quicker succession if they don't last long. He just needs some tough fighting men with some life left in them.

    Yeah maybe not Iron, Tin maybe. I just think it might need to be pretty iron-like to go a few rounds with his power and output.
    You want to test his stamina without a real risk coming back. So a really solid guy with little power and poor work rate.

    Nobody will learn anything about Joshua if he's beating up big punchbags that come to survive a few rounds. He's already way past that level. These tough guys can't live with him. Johnson is perfect to see if someone can take him a few rounds at this stage. I have no doubt he'll stop Johnson (force him to quit).

    Then he should fight Eddie Chambers, Lucas Browne, Andy Ruiz jr or Dillian Whyte. (letsgochamp!)

    It's clear Joshua does NOT have bone-crushing Tyson, Tua, Wilder OR Sanders power. But what he has is tremendous agility and throws punches in bunches, which is odd for a heavyweight. Did you see how he riddled off a about 20 plus unanswered shots in rapid speed in under 10 seconds.

    Which heavyweight does that?
    Bigger man George, bigger punch!
