Joshua has post KO syndrome

[A.K]

He never showed any killer instinct even the kind of instinct where he went at wlad after getting dropped and finishing it.

It’s completely gone reminds me of Roy post tarver 2. This man can never beat fury or wilder with this new found caution it’s almost a joke he’s a champion right now.

[Phenom]

Kind of reminded me of Kovalev tbh

He has the belt but doesn't look like a champion he doesn't trust his chin anymore his next fight is interesting he shouldn't fight scared against Pulev but we will see

I don't know, I thought it was just being smart.

AJ hurt Ruiz a couple of times in the second fight. But every time AJ went in for the kill, Ruiz shot back with hooks in bunches -- exactly how AJ got clipped the first time around. If he didn't learn from that experience, he'd be a fool.

Went for the kill? He never once did that

Except kovalev went for it in his rematch and knocked Alvarez out then rallied against yarde , his last fight seemed like he was going easy on purpose.

And it’s also a joke Joshua is fighting pulev.

I disagree entirely. He was constantly battling the desire to drop all strategy and let his hands go. At one point he even dropped his hands and went to throw double hooks, thankfully the bell went ��

What I would say is that he's very tentative about being hit round the back / side of the head, but I think that's a perfectly justifiable mindset for somebody who's just been knocked down 4 times. Lewis was even worse in his comeback fight post mcall and his wasn't a rematch!

Maybe with Andy. Let's see how he does vs his next opponent.

He didn't knock Alvarez out he just boxed him from the outside and didn't want to engage Yarde got knocked out by a jab because he has no stamina doubt he was hurt

[KillaMane26]

He think after losing the way he did, he wasn't trying to take too many chances. Get those belts back then go from there.

I hope he doesn't lose his killer instinct cuz styles makes fights and his old style was better suited for Wilder imo

Thats what I saw as well, he didn't strike me as scared just fighting to a game plan that didn't necessarily come naturally to him and at times he had to catch himself, pull back and either clinch or back out.

People who look at this fight and say Joshua has no chance against Fury miss the point, do you really think the best way to beat Fury would be to out point him from range?
