He explained why he is sticking with Davidson.
The reason I was able to gel with Ben is because he doesn’t try to change your style,” Joshua continued. “He kind of looks at your attributes and adds to what you’re good at. I went to a stage where I was trying to change my style: a bit of back-foot boxing, box behind the jab, stick and move, not be explosive, control the pace, and stuff like that. But Ben was like: ‘That’s not your body type! You’re a f***ing big unit, you’re explosive, go and knock f***ing people out. Basically, work to your body type. So, we got along in that sense. He gets it.”
‘There isn’t much else out there in the UK,’ and that’s why I went to the States. If I knew any different, I would have stayed in the UK from the start, but I just didn’t know I’d work with Ben. It’s been really good, I do rate him, and the good thing about him is he’s got a team as well, so they all complement each other.
That's plenty fair. Too many in this sport try to plaster their image of perfect over an imperfect human rather than playing up their strengths and minimizing their weakness.
Everyone says Wilder has to learn to box, it did him no good, ever. It was a waste of time that would have been better spent doubling down on what he is good at.
Joshua is on the better path.
That said, Joshua is a *****, Deontay isn't, we still believe Bombsquad would put down that long faced hoe.
I just want Wilder to work on his hook. If he had power in both hands and still knew how to pull the trigger, I wouldn't bet on anyone making it out of 12 with him.

Oh now im really intrigued as to how that strategy is gonna work on Ngannou.
I cant see it ending well for Joshy.
To be fair Joshua is not an idiot. He knows Ngannou has a great chin and hits hard. He will go in with more than one plan. He learnt that from Ruiz 1.
Ngannou is the guy without the boxing experience. If he can't land a big punch on AJ, can he adapt? Seems unlikely he could ever outbox AJ.
BTW did anyone see that Ngannou said that Fury hit him harder than anyone ever has? I read that somewhere in a news article
I will say AJ has a standard right hand and a very hard left jab. I don't actually think he has huge power. He knocks people out with cumulative punches. That's what he will do here. If the stoppage comes, he will take it

Thanks for the reminder...:luvbed:
