Joshua needs to carry on with his rebuilding process 'He is still rebuilding from the Andy Ruiz Junior loss etc'.
Joshua needs to fight with more conviction against Pulev 'He should really be breaking this guy down, and stopping him within 6-8 rounds'.
I always thought he looked much more cautious since the Klitschko fight. You can say he had been boxing “smarter”, but I think that fight almost took some fire out of him.
And he has only fought once since he got stopped, And he looked petrified whenever Ruiz got close in that rematch. Not to mention in the first fight he spat out his gum shield and basically quit, So you can question how much minerals he has for a real fight now.
Taking all that into consideration, I can see him fighting pretty scared from now on whenever anyone tries to put it on him. That said, I don’t think Pulev is assertive enough to make AJ pay for that.
I laughed all night watching Fury punch the heavy bag on Saturday. How did that goofy fat gypo that punches like a woman even win a world title? Then again, apart from using his height advantage to run from an unmotivated Wlad all night - he's yet to beat anyone. WIlder is a protected bum that got hyped by the yanks who were looking for a saviour.
Josh will ruin that fat boy. The scam would end the night they fight.
I see Anthony Joshua beating Kubrat Pulev, after a tougher fight than he expects. I don't see him beating Tyson Fury, who is a much better boxer, and has a sturdier chin. That's why Fury is undefeated, and Joshua is not.

Well I have to agree
The klitschko fight certainly took something out of Joshua, it was my assertion that fight came too early for him as a 16 fight novice with limited amateur experience.
He got through it, but it was by riding his luck after he suffered that knockdown, he got a taste of his own mortality, and I think he himself knew that he was a hairs breadth from being stopped.
Fury is arguably beaten already by John McDermott who had the tenth of Joshuas skill and power. He also got knocked down by a cruiserweight Cunningham. So he's hardly unbeatable.
I'm still betting on Fury vs Joshua as he always raised his game for the big fights but it's tough to call, Joshuas a much better boxer than Wilder ever was.
