    As long as he gets an elite defence and keeps improving the jab he should be fine.

    Anyone else think this is a worry?
    He was 230lb on his pro debut.

    He is now 18lb heavier! Even for someone his size thats a lot of muscle to put on!
    a 7 - 8% increase in weight in the 2-3 years after turning pro would seem normal to me for a guy of his stature. Fat heavyweights (like Fury was) you would expect them to decrease weight first (losing fat) before putting some weight back on (muscle building). Wlad was 220 in his first pro fight and two years later was 235. He was a bit younger than Joshua though but 2 years after that he was coming in at 245.Once hes not purely focusing on weight training and doing stamina work too hell be fine.
    Your basing that weight increase on his total body weight. Its only his muscles that have got heavier, not his bones or organs. So then its a bigger percentage of muscle increase which is massive and will do nothing for him as a championship distance fighter.

    I guarantee you after this fight or against someone who will make him work over the distance that his weight training will be brought up as a reason he has stamina problems over the distance. He fines doing the amateur distance but wait until hes made to work past 4 rounds. He will end up like Haye, Price and Bruno. To be a better fighter he will have to change trainers because its clear hes spending too much effort on body building. 18lb of muscle when you are already big is a big increase and thats not from circuits, sprints, bag work, sparring, even general weights etc, he has been trying to put muscle on amd I dont think its been for any operational reason, just for his ego but it will come back to bite him and hearn in the ass.

    Like I said, they havent been building a good fighter, just a fan base who will pay for pay per views.

    I could live with the 20 quid every few months if I didn't have sky sports subscription I guess. When you've got that too it's like saying here's some extra sport you need to fork out for
    Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate

    For once Mark TKO is talking sense why bother having a sports subscription when you pay extra for 2 ppv in one month? Joke.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Johnson is only dangerous in fights he can win... this ain't one of them. Joshua's style will put Johnson on the back foot... Johnson will try to survive circling and throwing jabs back against the ropes... He will get stopped
