    Joshua is out working Fury against Usyk, and Usyk strong point is his endurance and technical skill. So your point about only being able to achieve such a feat vs a lesser fighter is nonsense.

    Anthony Joshua vs Wladimir Kiltschko 'Only threw 16 less punches than Tyson Fury vs Wladimir Kiltschko'.

    Fury's fight went the distance 'A full 12 rounds', Joshua's fight lasted into the 11th round.

    The fact of the matter is, Joshua's endurance is not his strong point. But at elite level he is still beating, or is matching Tyson Fury.

    Tyson Fury's for some reason has bestowed with this stereotype that he has elite level endurance. It is completely made up.

    Out of the two fighters, Joshua has performed the greater feats of endurance.

    1: Getting up off the deck early in the fight vs Kiltschko. To then endure and survive heavy bombardment, fighting on to get a knock out 'Is a by far superior feat of endurance than anything Fury has achieved'.

    2: Fury's best feat of endurance was vs Deontay Wilder I. Surviving Wilder's power, to then fight on in the last round for another few minutes.

    I rate Joshua's feat of endurance higher. Because he was knocked down early in the fight vs Kiltschko, and had to fight on for many more rounds to get the win.

    Note: Tyson Fury has good endurance, but as you can see? It is not as great as people try and make out. And people here cannot go back to fights at domestic level or against fighters who are not world class 'At top level, Joshua & Fury's endurance is comparable'.




    The physique/endurance/agility it is ALL world class with AJ, however the driver 'inside the car' the 'computer' that controls the body'. That piece of AJs boxing game will never be top-level. So for the same 'circuit' based on his ability in the 'car', AJ is using MORE gas than other fighters figuratively speaking.

      In this heavyweight era, compared to other heavyweights. Joshua's endurance is maybe just entering into world class 'It is acceptable, but it is definitely not his strong point'

      But also it is not as bad as people make out. He is miles ahead of this current version of Andy Ruiz Junior.

      As you can see from the data at top level, Joshua's feats of endurance and base endurance is comparable to Tyson Fury 'He is right there with Tyson Fury, if not better at times'.

      Tyson Fury was all over the place vs Wilder, there was opportunities and mistakes being made 'Due to his fatigue'. That a greater technically fighter would of capitalized on. Fury got away with it vs Wilder, but maybe against other opposition he would not.

      Tyson Fury's endurance is good, but it is not to the level that people try and make out. He grinds his way through his fatigue etc.

        Because it never bothered Wladimir performance

        AJ has said out his own mouth that it has affected his performance

          26 yo AJ was semi-dead against 40 yo Kiltschko because of his body and stamina. Klitschko was fit.

          What a ****** question.

            We constantly called the Klitschko brothers overly built stiffs who would've gotten KTFO in any other era.

            Where the fxck were you?
