Why didn't Joshua ever throw those huge right hand bombs against Usyk like he did Ngannou?

[Noelanthony]

AJ doesnt throw caution to the wind, if you seen him he fought scared vs Usyk and he fought scared with Ruiz after getting dropped the first time. Francis is 270 pounds and slow, a sitting target, he can unload on without getting countered.

That’s my point in order to stand any chance against Usyk that’s what he has to do. Now will he do that is a different matter entirely

[Noelanthony]

What makes you think that you won't be the first one to go?

[Sun_Tzu]

Well for one, Usyk wouldnt have been there if he did and then Usyk would have smacked him in his fckn mouth three or four times.

I’m simply saying Aj’s strength is his power it’s pointless conditioning his body to match Usyk endurance because he will fail every time. If Usyk gets to 12 rounds he beats any fighter in my opinion.
I have witnessed AJ fighting a conservative fight against him on 2 occasions and I’ve watched a fat 6ft 9 giant mainly fight on the back foot and nearly get knocked out. The only way to beat Usyk is to hurt him otherwise he is all over you like a rash.
Yes Joshua has to go out to knock him out and risk being knocked out himself. Otherwise rounds 7 and above he will just be in survival mode getting pounded with combinations to no reply and when you have already been beat by the same man twice your mind is pretty accepting to the blows

Parker can go 12 with Usyk and as much as anyone thinks they know what would happen. The fact is, we don't. Just like if their were to be a Parker AJ rematch.

Watching their first fight from 6 years ago is to watch a talented fresh faced kid in Parker trying to beat the ref, the crowd and the judges. He never stood a chance but went 12 rounds anyway.

Watching Parker now is to see a fully grown man wearing his hardearned experience like a seasoned warrior. If he were to rematch AJ now it'd be a different fight and i believe, ending. If he were to fight Usyk now, who knows.

AJ on the other hand has failed both times to beat Usyk. Time to accept that there's no reason to think he can no matter what he does. He's a far diminished fighter than he was 6 years ago.

Make a Parker v Usyk fight to witness an unknown result. Or make AJ v Parker to see a revenge match or proven comeback.

AJ v Usyk 3 is a waste of Usyk's time. If he rematches Fury and beats him again, he's not only achieved boss level and clocked the game, he's unlocked god mode with only retirement as the challenge.

Usyk fought Joshua so that it would be hard to land that right hand. Usyk had outside foot position most of the fight, and in order to attempt that shot, Joshua would have had to reach, which would have led to him getting countered. Which he was, many times.

You serious right now?!

...


Yes.

It's HUGE.

[FinitoxDinamita]

He was still at a mental rebuilding stage after getting shocked by Ruiz. His confidence wasn’t all there as self doubt was still visible.

The Ruiz defeat was lingering on his mind and he wasnt going to take any chances against capable southpaw with good countering ability.

Ngannou was a stationary target, a novice who instilled no fear into Joshua. Plus that was against Joshua who found his stride versus Helenius and got his mojo back after knocking out Wallin.

[anonymous2.0]

I feel like Joshua is very calculating with his punches and I mean he won't throw a power shot unless he feels like he has a good chance of landing and not getting countered.

Wow , slow down partner Parker just recently survived 2 knockdowns by a 40 year old ,stiff heart defected robot.
Parker is exactly the same individual as he was all those years back just with a few more losses to his record. In any case this new found confidence is majorly down to his new Trainer Andy Lee who has renewed belief into his sails. Now is it a stretch to suggest Davidson has helped Joshua or you are stubborn to think such a idea is possible? I believe AJ gives Usyk the fight of his life if they fight again. Ben Davidson has alreadyalluded to the fact that AJ fought the wrong fight
so to conclude Usyk probably beats AJ again for the third time if they fought but Usyk outboxes PArker and AJ beats him too
