    Lol on top of that I believe stevenson is a southpaw too so using the jab to set the same lead hand lol holyfield left the ring far too late unfortunately, I think brains will be suffering the consequences unfortunately

          Impose his size, yes. Try to out hussle his opponents, no. Holyfield is an ATG fighter but he’s no trainer. Holyfield worked with an ATG trainer once in Manny Steward. With Steward in his corner he bested his nemesis Rid**** Bowe. Left to basically think for himself, he was less successful.

          Take Holyfield’s advice for what it’s worth but find a trainer who can get the best out of your unique mix of strengths and weaknesses.

            When Josh sensed you was in trouble, the end was near for you. It's not like that now.
            but Josh didn't seem to throw many against usyk

              I don’t think AJ has the stamina to throw more punches. He would just gas out, like he did vs Ruiz and Wlad.

                Surely he actually meant Teofilo Stevenson?
                At least I hope so, Adonis? WTF?!

                  (Adonis) in parentheses probably means Holy didn’t say it. The author of the article “helping us” to understand who he meant by Stevenson.

                    Joshua has quickly gone from being a bit overrated to a bit underrated. I think he's still got a few good performances left in him.

                      He can't throw more punches because he doesn't have the stamina to do so. That's the problem with great fighters being trainers. Everyone can't fight the way they did. A great trainer has to use the tools Joshua has to help him succeed. Joshua doesn't have the stamina to throw punches for 12 rounds as Holyfield, Bowe, Ibeabuchi, Tua, and others. Plus he's flat footed with limited mobility. Someone should use what he has to develop a better strategy.
