    Does Joshua have a Frank Bruno type chin?
    Or not?

    He can't take the shots Fury, Parker and Ruiz can take that's for sure.

    One good shot turns him into a noodle. Wlad should have finished him but failed.

    AJ makes his smaller opponents like Pulev afraid to trade. If you can trade or counter you can hurt him. Or take him deep and drown him which is what Fury will do.

    Yeah his punch resistance is rather suspect.

    But it isn't the chin, it's the temple really, Whyte clipped him with a left hand around the top of the head and he wobbled and went stiff.

    Wlads punch was on the side of the head and he collapsed.

    Ruiz clipped his temple and he never recovered.


    The man has glass temples, GLASS TEMPLES I TELLS YA.

    Was it true that Joshua came in with a concussion before he fought Ruiz the first time?

    His chin is fine. However, his major problem is he stands too straight up and square, so he takes a lot of shots flush. Even a great chin can fail against a few well timed flush shots.

    Below average, but the real problem is his defense. He has no head movement.

    It depends against which punches. I've seen him slip stuff quite well before. If you mean, he doesn't weave his head then, yes.

    Don’t they get a prefight medical examination first before they can step into the ring?

    Well he stood up to Whyte's left hook that dropped the likes of Parker and he went late with Wlad taking numerous bombs before knocking stopping him so I find it hard to agree that he has a "below average" or "poor" chin.....

    If it isn't true then he 100% has glass temples.

    If it is true, somebody with huge padded gloves on (him wearing headgear) cracked his temples in sparring and it took him weeks to recover.


    I would rather it be untrue if I was AJ.

    When I see a fighter do a chicken dance or get badly wobbled from a glancing blow my instinctive reaction is to want to climb in the ring and spit right in their face. That might come across as somewhat irrational and extreme, and to be fair to myself I wouldn't actually ever do it, but I honestly cannot think of anything more repulsive or that fills me with more disgust than fighters with below average punch resistance.

    His bigger problem is his recovery. He shuts down for too long after being hurt. You could see it being his big problem before ruiz. Took him a couple of rounds to recover from dillan whyte. Took him about 5 rounds to recover from klitchko and never recovered from the ruiz first knockdown. In comparison ruiz recovered immediately from getting put over. Furys recovered straight away numerous times. Wilder although put over 3 or 4 times still had his faculties intact.

    Tbh hes only really took shots from....whyte, klitchko, povetkin and ruiz. Whyte had him struggling for a round or two. Klitchko for 5. Povetkin rocked him and ruiz finished him.

    The only difference with bruno is bruno mentally and physically shut down when hurt. Joshua actually seems mentally still there its physically he shuts down. His stamina depletes to zero. His power depletes for a while etc. Mentally appears to still be there tho...thats what kept him in the klitchko fight that and klitchko didnt seize his oppertunity.
