Fury and Wilder are two guys who are "flawed" in their own way while AJ is marketed as the "complete" fighter.
However, one thing I seem to notice with Joshua is how easy he is to hit. He's got good power, good speed and good combos. But he's very stiff when he's in the middle of punching.
He looks extremely easy to hit and I can only imagine if he's hit by someone like Wilder, it might be over. Also Tyson Fury 's awkwardness is combined with his confident and skillful patience in the ring that could fluster AJ
I like AJ and know he's talented. I just don't see where's he's heads above Fury or Wilder other than how's "clean" he's marketed.
Has anyone ever said AJ is a complete fighter?
All i've heard people say is that he can punch well and does the basics right. Everyone can see he's a big stiff, flat footed etc..
Hes hard to hit otherwise alarm would've stopped him and maybe Whyte could've dropped him
Do a slow Mo vid of all times he was hit then I might believe
yeah ive noticed it hes very stiff and a bit overrated by the uk fans but hell they overrate whyte so its expcted... but hes a good fighter with skills

Marketed? Do you even understand what marketing is? :lol1:
of course everyone wants to market their fighter as the best.
Fury is the complete fighter here, anyone trying to argue AJ is a complete fighter is a fool. AJ is slow, has no head movement, and low ring IQ. He's like the HW Broner but without the speed and ratchetness.
Fury on the other hand has ZERO FLAWS. His only "mistakes" come when he is messing around, showboating. He takes risks and sometimes pay for them, like any fighter. On paper, he is flawless. highest ring IQ in the game, only guys like Rigo, Lomachenko, Mikey are comparable. Speed, for a HW, no one comes close, and he is a master boxer is outstanding defense. He can fight an entire fight southpaw and clowning his opponent. Saturday night was the first time he was pushed. PUSHED. And he wasn't even in danger of losing, unless you really but into the "he was out" narrative. I saw it differently, I saw a monster with a granite chin pop up and go to war. If this is a 15 rounder, Wilder probably spends the weekend in the hospital because the brutality of the KO that was coming in another round or so would have been so devastating.
I don't see anyone saying he is a defensive tactician. He is easy to hit. Both he and Wilder present large, stationary targets. I do think he has a couple more tricks in his bag than Wilder, but that isn't saying much to begin with.
