Up until his last few fights Joshua has been very quick with his hands. In fact there was a segment with Breazeale I believe where he mentioned he'd been sparring with cruiserweights rather than heavyweights to try and get a handle on the speed of his punches.
Of course since he's put on weight his punches definitely have been far more laborious and not as quick... but exactly the same can be said for Joseph Parker; he had much quicker hands prior to winning the WBO.
Both of the fighter's camps have talked about getting back down to the kinds of weights they were at so i'd expect that if that does come to pass Joshua's hands will be just as quick as Parker's.
