What do they do with Joshua now?

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!)

he DEF will stop Johnson inside 5 rounds with body punches and pressure.

Johnson maybe lazy and not try to win but he is still tough and Joshua hasn't yet done a full 3 rounds. I don't know if its just his size that I'm not completely sold on him, as in he's that big and with that comp thats what he should do. Iv seen little tiny snippets similar to what I saw with Price fighting Sexton. Where they pile it on but its a shock where they, rather than dealing with the tiny bit of resilience with composure just stutter and pause for a moment, not quite panic but it knocks them out of their stride. Johnson, IF he comes in true to recent form will be a safe pick and give Joshua some safe rounds.

However. If Johnson comes in realising maybe if he loses to a novice its time to go home and get a job and instead knuckles down and sets a plan of pouring it on Joshua then this could be a ridiculous gamble.

Hearn is basing Johnson as an opponent on his recent losses, not his actual capability. Just like Maloney did with Thompson for Price.
