    Anthony has great posturing and excellent positioning until an actual exchange is initiated. Once an exchange is initiated Josh tends to lose all sense of posture which more often than not causes him to be out of position to fully capitalize on openings. Since he's not in proper position to fire off the punches he's throwing he has to *******ize his powerline for accuracy enough to land at minimum which brings down the amount of kinetic force he can transfer to his opponent. Given his powerline is disconnected and his kinematic chains are impure causing him to waste most of the energy he creates not only does he tire early and easily, but he struggles more often than not to achieve step off one punch drops. And since he tires easily and early on one has to wonder how well AJ is going to fare against any opponent who can set a pace and doesn't share any problems with posturing, positioning, powerline, or stamina.

    Is Fury right that Joshua is a big stiff idiot basically. There are shades of Bruno about him. Better to have shades of Ali or Tyson tbh.

    He can't loosen up. He's too ****en stiff to be even seen as a champion. That's why he's ducking Wilder. Hearn is protecting the fraud.

    This. Joshua was very lucky Takam can't crack an eggshell. Takam was landing good body shots and a few solid counters, but he just didn't have any pop. Joshua also has too much muscle. Joshua can't keep his hands up very long without gassing and telegraphs his shots too much and has no jab. Takam was literally just walking into pocket with Joshua doing nothing about.

    Joshua doesn't seem to have any natural rhythm.

    Power and good match making regarding the timing of the Klitschko fight have got him to where he is today and tbh I don't think he'll improve much from what we see now.

    I agree in the sense he's to stiff, I also think the added weight he's carrying compounds this. If you were to watch a re run of the breazeale fight where aj come in just over 17stone, he is a lot lighter on his toes and manages to slip shots are lot better. Having said that anyone who seriously thinks wilder beats him is refusing to believe what is there in front of there eyes. Don't let your agenda against aj cloud your supposed good knowledge of the sport. Wilder had little to zero boxing skills he's not some slippery customer who gets in an out of range, shows cute head movement and can jab all night. He gets nailed within 2 cos he knows his only chance is to swing for the fences. Aj is an Olympic gold medalist, he's not the most naturally gifted boxer and because he don't fit the stereotype people massively underate him. How many rounds has he lost in 20 fights? He can't be that bad of a boxer

    In your other post you are claiming that Charles Martin is world class level, enjoy your time on this forum while it lasts

    You make very good points, most of which people are aware of. I for one believe that Wilder is more than capable of KO'ing AJ. Wilder has the power to KO anyone, he isnt as good technically as AJ however i believe. We have seen Wilder outboxed until getting KO'd. I believe that AJ can outbox him and has the power to drop him so when you combine them he should win IMO. As I said tho Wilder is certainly capable of winning the fight however. He has quicker feet and more 1 hit power than AJ.

    His posture is just fine because he has great hand dexterity

    The jab will be key vs wilder just look at the washington fight he had wilder off balance & looking like baby bambi with just his jab

    The washington fight showed me everything i needed to analyze about a potential wilder & AJ fight

    Joshua is quite stiff, needs to loose a bit of muscle and also needs to improve his lateral movement.

    But he's levels above Wilder in terms of poise and balance. Wilder appears quicker than he is because he's almost permanently off balance, especially when he winds up those windmills.

    Extra weight is not the problem I don't reckon, too much lifting is. MMA's Overeem used Peek-a-Boo around his 2010 run in K-1 and Strikeforce. I understand " But dat MMA doe dis be boxin doe" Yeah, true, but even in their training videos Alistair is not only bigger than Joshua but he's much more smooth. If you want to watch 265lbs of man move like Mike watch Alistair around the 2010 years. It doesn't matter who you put in front of AJ he has bad posture on a heavybag. That's not muscles, that's a lack of striking coordination.

    Stiff is vague and I'm not even sure it fits. Trust, I know how popular it is, but I'm not saying he's stiff I'm saying he has bad posture which affects everything else. A robot is stiff, Valuev was stiff, hell Wlad was stiff, stiff is not really what I'm seeing out of Joshua no matter how many people tell me it is.

    I wasn't actually meaning to HL flaws Tyson and Deontay can take advantage of so much as flaws that have already been taken advantage of. How many fights has AJ been in where he did not jump right into a punch? Yeah, that's because he's not very skilled. I know, but him beat Wlad doe, yeah...Wlad didn't have any pro technique to speak of either, and did Joshua's skills beat Wlad or something else?

    Joshua's skills is what gets him to walk right into punches, good punches too. He's kind of basic, and kind of bad at the pro techniques he does try to employ. Which is why we've not seen AJ stick to peek-a-boo for a full fight for sometime. He abandons peek-a-boo and reverts to amatuer technique and walks right into traps because Anthony Joshua is not highly skilled at all. He's got a lot of heart, a lot of determination, loads of power, and plenty of constitution. His skills got him face to canvas, his constitution got him all his big wins.

    Personally I feel like the AJ fanboys spend too much time trying to prove AJ is the highest skilled HW in a **** era and not enough time pointing out Joshua has had his chin tested more often by better punchers in more vulnerable situations than any other high profile active HW.
