Listen, I like Joshua, and I think Joshua has a great resume. I think he's a quality fighter when he wants to be. I think he's a refined, precision puncher with flaws (and who doesn't have flaws). Certainly a bit overrated at times by NSB, but it's NSB.
Yet, this interview told me one thing:
Joshua isn't hungry. He's too confident, too civilized, too "I'm on top, look at what I've done in a short time". Like he's advertising that he's an 'eye test' fighter.
The punch that dropped Stiverne, the punch that dropped Breezy...same exact punch that put Joshua down but didn't really hurt him, from a slow, 40-year old Grabomir. If Wilder lands that shot off a setup jab, there's no way Joshua gets up.
Nobody really knows why that fight isn't happening, but most likely, Joshua's management is keeping him far away from Deontay until they start to see him on the decline. If that's true, it means the fight won't happen until Wilder is unable to drop or KO whatever opponent. But if Wilder literally walks through the entire HW division until there's nobody left and he's scored a KO on each and every guy...
