so many people out there just think joshua has to find the magic formula & bingo he so much better, well maybe he just cant do it, stamina is one issue, mentality aggression not there is another

One ☝️ thing Holyfield had that maybe Joshua doesn’t have and that’s heart and the will to win ,

Don't understand all the haters writing Joshua off. Casuals say he can't 'box and move', but he boxed well in the Ruiz Jr rematch and fairly well in Usyk 1 and 2. He's just gone too cautious after that Ruiz Jr shock and needs to find the balance between his old style and new found boxing skills, whilst working on his stamina. I massively fancy his chances against #bumsquad though.

Time on top is short. AJ had his day. He can still shine in the C class, but it won't get any better. He's sliding into gatekeeper status, but I don't think he'll go much further. He'll hang around a while, then retire, or get smacked into old age.

AJ has lost his hunger. The young dogs coming up have it. Big Baby Anderson would knock him out.

Adonis Stevenson is weird comparison. Sure he said that?

Joshua's flaws have become apparent and out put is one , he can not maintain a high work rate like a Holyfield as we all know now he gases and would leave his now suspect chin out to dry.Hearn picked Usyk as a named undisputed fighter coming up and all the time thought he'd be another win but Usyk's work rate and movement were all too much. Joshua needs to get a grip on his career and fight the top fighters and has Holyfield says , let his hands go up his workrate against good fighters , not Whyte.It's a risk but one he might regret when he retires with all his money and not having fought the best! A 'new' trainer should tell him to be the best you have to fight the best , not avoid the best!

Go with James, have 2-3 fights with him and see what he looks like going forward. Does he have a 2nd career like Jermell or it's over? I've always said with the correct trainer he has the 2nd run like Vlad and Lewis. I like James b/c he took Jermell who was a timid back foot boxer and turned him around. Yeah, he loads on punches bc he is knockout happy but if you listen to the corner James always tell him to stop that and set up his work.
