Used to be a pretty exciting fighter. Has become fairly boring. Wonder if someone ko’d him in sparring. He didn’t seem to have much issues rushing into Wlad’s power punches.
Is Joshua the same fighter in your opinion?

No, his punch technique is worst. This is something I have noticed.
And he over thinks his attacks.
Joshua up until Ruiz Junior I, was a way more aggressive fighter. And it seemed to come natural for him.
His endurance, durability and punching power all seemed to have gone backwards.
I don't think Joshua's power, was having the effect on Usyk 'That people where expecting'.
Joshua displayed a good boxing performances vs Povetkin & Parker. So I cannot claim that he has improved in this area.
Wow Joshua's Jab is terrible. Extremely passive. There reason why I am highlighting this specifically.
That is because this should be the first attribute and tool, and Super Heavyweight obsesses over and improves.
There is no way Usyk should of won the battle of the Jabs vs Joshua.
I just think Joshua has been hanging on since his rematch win vs Ruiz Junior. Hanging on at top level 'Out of pure competitive drive'.
I think not being champion, and just being able to have normal fights in normal arena's 'Will be good for him'.

Yeah he’s the same fighter he’s always been going back to the amateurs. AJ has always been limited, he’s always been vulnerable and he’s always been flawed. He’s obviously very dangerous and explosive too. That’s what makes him a fun fighter to watch.Comment

This has been noted for a while now. He lost that aggression after Ruiz stopped him. He hasn't been the same. He's a dread to watch now.
Should have a no-knockout clause in his sparring contracts.Comment
