Anthony Joshua's boxing style - Simplicity & effective

We already know all this information. My point is that someone can’t unify in any division unless there skilled or talented in some way. To call any unified champ unskilled is ridiculous

 

Yeah, in terms of technical skill, AJ is one of the very best I've seen his size. Usyk is more skilled, but I think AJ's size and power will swing it his way. Will be interesting to see though.

 

To be more precise - if someone calls AJ unskilled he doesn't know what he's looking at.

 

I loved the way he simply effectively won Olympic Gold.

The simple and effective way he quit standing up vs. Andy "Butterbean" Ruiz Jr. was clever too.

 

I have a feeling you are downplaying expectations in Fury-Wilder 3 so you can wax lyrical about Fury's brilliance when he stops Wilder early lol

 

This A.J version from Pulev fight will not beat nor Wilder nor Fury. Okolie too most likely had beat him up, he isn't grandpa Pulev.

 

He’s stiff, mechanical at times and a little chinny but overall is a good boxer. He’s got great size and Usyk has his work cut out for himself. He’s probably not going to knock him out unless AJ gasses late and it’s going to be tough getting a decision in the UK. This fight is going to be interesting. I like Usyk but don’t count AJ out by any stretch. Styles make fights. It’s what makes boxing great.

I predict AJ will want to slug it out with the smaller Usyk. He will hurt Usyk but not put him away. Usyk will recover and tee off on the gassed AJ until the ref stops the fight. I know I said he wasn’t going to knock him out but it will be a KO from exhaustion and decent, accurate but not spectacular shots.

 

To me, AJ's trump card is his sheer SIZE. And of course, for a man that big, he moves well, hits hard and has excellent reach.

When you have that size advantage, you don't need incredible skills. You just monster and wear down anyone you come against.

It is the SIZE that is the secret. And he uses it well.

 

If we’re being fair, most heavyweights have basic styles. If you look at history a lot of the atg heavyweights were one dimensional.

 

Depends on what you mean by one dimensional. A lot were, like prime Foreman, Frazier, Tyson, both Klitschkos stayed with one particular style. Guys like Louis, Ali, Lewis could completely and comfortably change up their style and tactics when needed.

Though Joshua certainly isn't one dimensional.

 

I would say Tyson had a very difficult style to emulate

Peek-a-boo done properly is an incredible art

 

For sure, his style was incredibly complex, only reason i call him one dimensional is because if he gets nullified somehow he's not going to start bouncing on his toes or fight his opponents fight or anything like that, he'd just continously pressure his opponents and look for openings, though Tyson could play counterpuncher and set traps when he made his opponents lead, but thats apart of his style anyway. It isn't a bad thing because Mike Tyson was still a monster and beats everyone today imo
