Comments Thread For: Froch: Joshua Has Lost All His Aggression and Killer Instincts, He Was Very Hesitant

[removed]

Joshua always has the deer in the headlights look when he's fighting now.

He seems to get more aggressive after the fight has finished lol

He needs to fight this way as when he didnt, like against ruiz he git knocked out. So do you want him knocked out again or what?
He could have gone all ape sh#t on Franklin but it couldve backfired.

Joshua is a physical beast, he should be blasting guys like Franklin, not fighting behind a jab and tying up all the time.

I really believe Josh could be aggressive but I think he's following game plan nowadays

there is only one thing for it, joshua needs to go full on jab and grab

but that didnt work for wlad v fury but it will work v wilder possibly (with baby oil of course)

After the embarrassing loss to El Gordo, Joshua has been fighting like a total sissy

Even Stevie Wonder can see he hasn't been the same

joshua wants to win well but hes more afraid of losing badly

Translation: eddie get me my cash out fight quick!

Is there a sliding scale to these negative traits in a boxing ring, hesitant, apprehensive, uneasy, nervous, tense, fearful, scared, alarmed, panicky, terrified, petrified

dont worry AJ u have a bit to go yet, maybe

I think Froch is right that if his heart isn't in it, then there is no reason to continue. He's incredibly wealthy and there's no need to continue unless he has genuine aspirations of pushing himself to reach the top again.

I think the jury is out on the if part though. It wasn't like Franklin was ever seriously rocked to the point that he was there to be finished. Joshua's superiority in the fight was apparent; it was a mixed bag for him, but it wasn't all negatives.

This is pretty much what I have been saying all week in the lead up to this fight even thinking that an upset might happen. Joshua has lost all confidence in his ability to take a punch and therefore we have a bigger man holding on to smaller men in the ring. The size difference between Joshua and Franklin like the difference between beterbiev and broner yes Joshua has to hold all night to try and not get hit.
