Why doesn't Joshua have 'lights-out' power?

[STREET CLEANER]

So? There are several reasonable factors that could explain that rationally. Lennox was ko'ing everybody, maybe his people wanted him to start going the distance? Lennox has more power than those dudes. Jeremy Williams, you serious?



Tyson was out cold when he hit the canvas. When that punch landed and he hit the canvas he was out cold for a good 4 seconds. People do all kinds of stuff when their out. Mike grabbed his nose, some guys wave their arms around like a baby in the crib.

This fool is still punching with a guard up lmao. Learn the game kid!



I don't see you bringing up Ruddock you creampuff.

That was Simon Brown when he fought Vince Pettway. Brown was fouling so much in that fight that he got what he deserved. And I was a Brown fan at that time.

Whyte was out pretty badly.

To be fair, yes he was!

Thanks for all the responses, some interesting thoughts. Have to say, my take on Joshua has changed a little after this thread. If he can keep on improving/learning, he's on the right track to have a consistent and decent career, aiming to be a boxer-puncher (although he strikes me as more of a swarmer sometimes..) rather than simply a heavy hitter. Smart move, really. I still would like to see him being able to time and counter opponents better, though, walk people onto shots and things like this, perhaps then we'd see some more flash

Here are all Joshua's KOs btw, for anyone who's interested:

Hey man, come on, I'm not saying Joshua is feather-fisted, far from it, he obviously has power there, I'm just saying it's not cold power, if that makes sense? Seems more like a thudding, clubbing type of power. Just means we might never see clean KOs from Joshua, there's always be a ref jumping in, or a towel thrown, or whatever

What do you mean by cold power? Knocking out COLD?

What do you mean by cold power? Knocking out COLD?

I mean decisive KOs, that make people slept, so yeah, I guess the KO on Whyte would count as that, he seemed out of it

More to the point, it strikes me that Joshua is not a one-punch kind of guy, but more of a cumulative-damage fighter, in spite of any reputation he has as a heavy hitter

Im sure the time will come when he times someone perfectly and from the strength of the man it will be a serious k/o.
For his opponents im sure their very happy he doesnt have this cold power yet or their will be alot of fighters ending up in hospital
