The Klitschko style won’t work for Joshua

[QueensburyRules]

I used to think that Joshua should study Wlad closely and take a page out of the Klitschko blueprint. But on second thought, I don’t think it’ll work for him, and here’s why.

Wladimir was a better and more natural jabber than Joshua, and had a leaner physique and better stamina. Prime Wlad could sit back and dominate a fight with jabs alone quite comfortably. Wlad also started boxing at a much earlier age than Joshua, so he’s a lot more fluid than him.

Joshua has a decent 1-2 himself, but his real strength is in his hooks/uppercuts/combos. He needs to get close to unleash his combinations and that puts his glass chin in danger. Joshua is also much stockier and stiffer than Klitschko, and sitting back and jabbing and clinching just isn’t compatible with his style and physique.

Never thought I’d say this, but AJ really might be the next Heavyweight Amir Khan. A lost cause. One thing he needs to do for sure right now is tone down on his weight lifting.

- - gotta go back to the turn of the 19th century to find a heavy winning a title with less fights than AJ.

JJ Corbett 8-0-2
JJ Jeffries 10-0-2

AJ in the 21st Century
15-0

All HOFers, so weep for thee thy no-nothings

What you talking about, Wlad had a very similar physique and was around the same height and weight

Obviously you are trolling but I am going to address you anyway. While true, they were the same height and weighed around the same at 245 lbs to be exact but look at Joshua's body; He is ripped, very muscular with more body definition as opposed to Wladimir Klitschko's body. Come on now. You know what I am talking about. Wladimir had muscle lean while Joshua has muscle mass.

I agree. Wladimir Klitschko had a tall, lean and wiry build; Similarly, to that of Deontay Wilder's. On the hand, Joshua has a tall, wide muscular build. His arms and jabs are a lot heavier than Wladimir's; To the point of him losing stamina if he throws too many of them. That's why AJ likes to move his feet and circle around the ring a lot, in order to conserve enough energy while not having to throw a lot of punches in the process.

Your obviously trolling have a look at the photo Robbie just posted above, only difference is one is black and the other is white, they are both ripped, both similar height and weight🤭
How can you have “leaner “ muscles, are you 5 yr old?

Question is at 30 has he got the brain plasticity to learn new things and implement them in a fight. He seems set in stone in his approach with mccracken who hasn't improved aj since the wlad fight.

[Gideon lock]

Anyone else feel like wlad let him off the hook intentionally after the knock down?

[Mushroom]

Wlad and Joshua definitely have different body type and I agree that I don’t think AJ can copy that style. He’s too muscle bound and slow to pop quick hard jabs out from distance for 12 rounds. Wlad was the naturally bigger man, Joshua has a narrower frame and smaller bones if you look at his wrists shoulders width etc. To me he looks like a skinny dude wearing a big heavy muscle suit

Listen ****head, when has Wladimir ever been known to have a huge muscle mass or a body builder's physique? I'll answer it for you; Never.

Joshua has always been defined by his body build and muscles; Even to the point where some fans have accused him of juicing and doping. Some say he is juiced to the gills.
