So Joshua is a boxer/puncher now?!

[jsmith_tsu]

With emphasis on boxer?!!

[Mammoth]

Probably just when he has a size advantage

[Robbie Barrett]

He fought like that for 1 fight. It's good to have different options.

[Sadiqkingofko]

I don't think so, he just needs to get his confidence back, but he kinda reminded of Wlad post Corrie Sanders

[memphis mook]

Yep. The black Vladimir Klitschko with more athleticism and less power

[YoungManRumble]

To me he was always a good all around boxer but jack of all trades master of none kinda guy with no real specialties other than sometimes size advantage and good power. Now perhaps he will try to be more like you say when he needs to at least.

Exactly.



I think Joshua should stay around this weight.

Im not a huge Joshua fan but its interesting people cant see that he is still kind of a novice who has won on size and athletic ability to this point. He has had enough power and speed to get him through up until last June. He showed tonight he can make an adjustment after a monumentally embarrassing loss. He could have retired, lord knows he has made enough money. He made the adjustments physically,tactically and mentally to pretty much shut Ruiz down. Yea, Ruiz didnt do him self any favors coming in fat as a mfer but if we are honest he might have won two more rounds in proper shape. The jury is still out on Joshua as far as how history will treat him as it is for all the other HWs of this particular generation but, he took a major step tonight. He now knows he doesnt need to be some behemoth to be effective. I honestly think a 230lb AJ would be hard to deal with any of the guys at the top. Speed kills as we know and less is more in this instance.
