Comments Thread For: Derrick James Doesn't Believe Anthony Joshua Needs To Be A Dog To Be Successful

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

For the most part, Anthony Joshua's career has been flooded with a perpetual amount of praise. From his hulking physique to his ability to separate his foes from their consciousness, Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) has essentially been the heavyweight division's golden child. However, despite his praises being sung, Andy Ruiz Jr. revealed several cracks in his armor.

I hope the 'victorious run' goes beyond Franklin and Whyte as real success can't be gauged for Joshua beating this pair.I hope with these out the way Joshua will truly step up with the elite of division.That's all the fans ask , there's good fighters out there now ...no excuses....Exciting times we hope!

Franklin is tailor-made for Joshua with or without Derrick James. Unless AJ totally lost all the tools in his arsenal for some reason which made him a long-reigning champion.

AJ needs to improve his punch output and stamina

AJ needs to improve his punch output and stamina

Do you think Tyson Fury has a higher punch out put than Joshua?

Do you think in today's heavyweight game, Joshua has the worst endurance of all Heavyweights?

Of course Joshua's endurance is not his strongest attribute, but in comparison to 95% of the other Heavyweights 'Joshua has solid endurance'.

Here is a past post of mine, which shows the statistics of Joshua's performances in his top-level fights. Once analyzing the statistics, most people should then realize that this notion 'That Joshua has terrible endurance is complete nonsense over dramatized, especially compared to most other Heavyweights of this era'.

Only Usyk & Joyce have really shown any evidence of having elite level endurance. Tyson Fury was fatigued badly from round-2 on wards vs Wilder etc.

Have you actually analysed Anthony Joshua's work rate in all of his elite level fights? Have you actually compared his work rate with other heavyweights?

Anthony Joshua is out working or at-least matching Tyson Fury, when you compare their performances.

But for some reason, Tyson Fury apparently has monster level endurance. Monster level endurance that makes you look like a complete state after 2 rounds vs Deontay Wilder III.

It is only really Usyk and Joyce in this era of Heavyweights, who have elite level endurance.

Anthony Joshua's endurance is not super great, but compared to 95% of the other Heavyweights in the game 'Joshua's endurance is satisfactory'.

Does Andy Ruiz Junior have better endurance than Joshua? No.

Here are some statistics for you:

Anthony Joshua's total out put vs Wladimir Kiltschko was 355 punches. The fight lasted into the 11 th round.

Tyson Fury's total out put vs Wladimir Kiltschko was 371 punches.

Anthony Joshua's total out put vs Usyk I was 641 punches. Joshua achieved a higher work rate than Usyk.

Tyson Fury's total out put vs Deontay Wilder I was 327 punches. The fight lasted the full 12 rounds. I.E Deontay Wilder's total out put was 430 punches. The fight was a draw, Fury was backed up all night and decked twice etc.

Anthony Joshua's total out put vs Usyk II was 492 punches.

Tyson Fury's total out put vs Deontay Wilder II was 267 punches.

Conclusion: As you can see, Joshua's endurance is nowhere near as bad as people make out. And a certain Tyson Fury's endurance is completely and utterly overrated by miles. I am not claiming that Joshua's endurance is great, but within this era of heavyweights? It is satisfactory.

I have went on record and stated, that if Fury loses to Uysk 'It will be because he fatigues and starts making mistakes'.

He can’t do what he can’t do. He has to win with what he has, which is what Wlad had to do. He’s got to force the tempo into one he can handle.

Joshua isn’t Usyk and he isn’t Joyce, he’s not going to beat those fighters by beating them at their own game. Focus on the jab, make the other guy work like crazy to get around it and if they leave themselves open, drop the hammer. Efficiency

Do you think Tyson Fury has a higher punch out put than Joshua?

Do you think in today's heavyweight game, Joshua has the worst endurance of all Heavyweights?

Answer me these questions, then I am going to respond with a post of mine 'Containing some information and statistics for you to internalize'.

Of course Joshua's endurance is not his strongest attribute, but in comparison to 95% of the other Heavyweights 'Joshua has solid endurance'.

But do me a favor, and answer me those questions. Then you will learn some information 'In my following post'.

I don't care about any of your statistics. If AJ doesn't improve on those two aspects of his game, he'll continue getting out boxed in his Prime by Cruiserweights

[James Hunt]

Yea, weight-bully Spence is just a little puppy.
You can't expect him to fight big bear Crawford.

The statistics show, that his endurance and punch out 'Is nowhere near as bad as people make out'. It is definitely not his strongest attributes, but in comparison to 95% of the other Heavyweights active today 'Joshua's endurance and out-put is solid enough'.

You have been duped by a cliche mate, you have not come to this conclusion by yourself 'Regarding Joshua's endurance'.

You are just going along and agreeing with a stereotype without, analyzing performances and the evidence for yourself.

Anthony Joshua in his first fight vs Usyk 'Produced a higher work-rate than Usyk, which I believe is unprecedented' Very few of Usyk's opponents will produce a higher work-rate than him in a top-level fight.

You are not entertaining these statistics, because this information proves that what you are saying is in part nonsense.

But I agree, Joshua can and should improve his endurance 'All fighters must strive to improve this area of their game'. Endurance and overall conditioning should be the fundamental primary goal of a boxer's strength and conditioning.

Here are the statistics mate. It is now up to yourself, on whether you want to acknowledge the reality of Joshua's abilities and performances 'Of course his endurance is not his best attribute, but compared to most other Heavyweights he is able to compete'.

Have you actually analysed Anthony Joshua's work rate in all of his elite level fights? Have you actually compared his work rate with other heavyweights?

Anthony Joshua is out working or at-least matching Tyson Fury, when you compare their performances.

[super-x]

Joshua will get back to winning ways vs Franklin and Whyte, he should definitely be stopping both of them... but in this era of heavyweights he will be 4th, i personally cant see him beating Fury, and i think Wilder will manage to land one at some point and put his lights out. One thing with Wilder is proven is hes got heart and his power is there till the end.
