    When it comes to clinching it's clear Joshua is no Lennox Lewis or Tyson Fury but why is that ? Joshua just like Fury and Lewis have a significant size advantage over all of his opponents but yet he's nowhere near as effective as the guys mentioned above ? Can someone explain

    Because his recoveries after he gets rocked are among the worst ever.

    The answer is clear. The bodybuilder has no battle IQ and fighting instinct. His chin is made of wet toilet paper and he has no gas tank. Any effort to thwart his opponent simply fails because Joshua is a flawed design.

    Unlike intelligent boxers Fury and Lewis, Joshua only looks for one big punch like a mindless meathead

    Everything about Joshua is just all wrong

    He has the body of a greek god but loses to obese munchkins. It's too funny. He's not a true boxer, he's washed up and he will never be champion again.

    Clinching shouldn’t even be allowed, it’s ruined a lot of fights and it’s ridiculous that so many fighters get away with an excessive amount of it

    Because there's no such thing as clinching equipment next to the bench press in the gym.

    hes also bad at punching in the nuts, rabbit punching, eye poking, doesnt dip below the waist enough, i dont see enough elbows from him. i will give him the occasional push off or forearm to the face. but i will admit his fouling game is weak.
