[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Anthony Joshua has parlayed his chiseled physique into modeling gigs, namely for brands like Hugo Boss and Range Rover. The British boxer Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) has had to deal with stereotypes and name calls throughout his nine-year pro career because his body has somewhat morphed into the body of a Muscle & Fitness magazine cover man.

Yes sir! I've seen too many fighters try to prove something to the critics, and then lose! Fight the style that wins the fight!

He looked like a big stiff bodybuilder trying to box. I agree with Boro.

He´s a bit muscle bound but still way better boxer than he gets credit for, and his stamina is pretty good for a solid 245 lbs. The problem is, Usyk is clearly the best 12 rd boxer in the division with a ridiculous engine so the game plan was doomed to fail.

Exactly, though I think in this case it's just an excuse but nonetheless trying to change your style because of couch potatoes and social media coaches doesn't seem the brightest idea stick to what you know, he became a champion and defended successfully numerous times with his "old" style.

Like I've always said, his insecurity is his biggest problem.

The man is conflicted inside and outside the boxing ring.

Just be yourself Josh in rematch. By all means try outboxing usyk at start. But if not working use plan B and go chisora style on him

[Jab jab boom]

Lame excuse. Unless he clips Usyk early, he doesn’t have the chin, stamina or heart to fight in an aggressive style. If he does, he more than likely
gets stopped within 8.
