Anthony Joshua's punching and knockout power has been exposed to be average at best

Takam stood in front of him in the second half of the fight.

There was a time that he had Jenner taking steps back to get away from his attacks.

So this fantasy that he was only prancing around in defensive mode is just that, fantasy.

Joshua had enough time to ko him like Chisora, but he fought hesitantly because he was wary of getting his chin clipped.

Likewise Joshua fought behind the jab against Parker, even ran away from him when he tried to get on the inside whilst Whyte cut off the ring and hunted Parker down with no fear of what was coming back at him.

 

No it isn't, you're creating a strawman argument.

The op is implying his power isnt as great as it's made out to be.

It's not difficult to comprehend unless you're a bit slow.

 

Basic elementary logic and sufficient reading comprehension doesn't belong in the same sentence as Dino.

You should know that by now

 

id say his power is above average,hes a good puncher imo but not a lewis/klitschko type puncher.

 

You don't know what a strawman argument is. Everything i said he said is posted on page one.

You can't see the totally different fights Takam fought against AJ and Chisora , so you are in no position to call anybody slow.

 

Perhaps you could time stamp the time in the fight where Joshua was teeing off clean power shot after power on Takams face as he walked forward. ??

 

Lomachenko hits harder than Joshua.

 

The only time Takam stood his ground he got floored with a left hook and stooped by the ref. He fought every round on the move.

 

He got stopped on his feet, and the time he got knocked down early he got straight back up and carried on comfortably

The 37 year old Takam who barely trained, was drafted in last minute so he could get brutalised and Jenner couldn't do the job everyone had expected him to do.

That's why he had to came up with all sorts of excuses as to why his performance was so underwhelming, saying he wasn't training properly, ate too much rich food etc.

If his power was so great Takam wouldn't have been able to recover so quickly and neither would the ref have needed to prematurely stop the fight when he was throwing back and evading the last punches Jenner threw.

 

Why do you willfully ignore the fact AJ was way overweight @255lbs and couldn't throw punches as well as he can weighing 243lbs?

Are you incapable of understanding how being that heavy makes him slower and stiffer?

 

You do realise that more often then not, more weight, means more power?

Regardless then if you want to peddle sob stories and excuses of him being overweight and being unable to throw any punches, what happened in the Parker fight, since he was at his career lowest weight?

Couldn't put a dent in Parker whilst the overweight Dillian whyte had him scrambling around the ring like a rag doll.

 

The ref wouldn't allow either guy throw punches in the wheelhouse , thats what happened in the Parker fight.

 

Jenner was allowed to hold and smother Parker's work whilst being given reign to time waste through purposely loosening his wraps, hit after the bell and was never stopped from doing his work.

In contrast I've shown the video instances where every time Parker was letting loose and attempting to get his combinations off on the inside, the ref would not only jump in and tell him off for trying to hit Jenner, but give him warnings.

 

Joshua was taken to one side and warned by the ref for trying to uppercut Parker. That ref hindered both men , not just Joshua.

Parkers team never complained about Joshua'a performance because there was nothing to complain about.
