Anthony Joshua was prepared for Andy Ruiz Junior I, and his loss to Ruiz Junior was more devastating than the Usyk loss.
Joshua is always prepared, but maybe Redeemer means? He was not specifically prepared for Ruiz Junior. But sometimes in boxing, fighters have to deal with those situations 'Lennox Lewis did it vs Vitali Kiltschko, and he was not prepared in terms of conditioning on top of not being specifically prepared for Kiltschko's style'.
Preparing for the Andy Ruiz Junior rematch, was more of a daunting task for Joshua than this Usyk Rematch. Joshua can analyse his fight with Usyk, and still retrieve positive's from the performance. Usyk was hit, Usyk was busted up and Joshua did take Usyk's power and survive the 12 rounds.
Compare that to what happened to him, against Andy Ruiz Junior who? Obliterated him every-time, Joshua tried to engage in warfare.
I do think Redeemer slightly overrates Joshua's abilities, I mean Joshua for a super-heavyweight is not elite from a distance. His jab is way below par, Fury, Wilder and even Whyte all have better Jab's than Anthony Joshua.
If Joshua had a solid jab, could fight on the inside and-use rough house tactics. Usyk would have zero answers to that kind of fight. Because Usyk himself cannot fight on the inside, and relies on doing damage from distance or mid-range.
The reason why Joshua lost to Usyk was because, he has been neglecting his mid-range offensive assaults since Andy Ruiz I. If Joshua brings back this dimension to his game, and improves his jab 'I don't think Uysk will have answer'.
We have already seen a version of Joshua who can beat Usyk, this fight does not require Joshua to reinvent himself.

I 100% agree. He also needs to use his size way better.
