It might not be such a bad thing. The best thing for AJ is to fight like a power puncher because his boxing skill is slightly above average at best. He should just survive and sacrifice rounds but also time his attacks and set up a darting offense. He’s done it before, idk what he was thinking trying to outbox Usyk
How you going to walk him down, work his body(you going to eat a lot of counters backhand because of it), you also say manhandle him, but how exactly? He ain't static target you can just lean on it. He is in and out, the moment you try to clinch he is already not there, and you will end up into his punches range trying to grab him, and will look stupid as hell. The best tactics to beat Usyk is what Wladimir and Vitali was doing. Strong jab, powerful punches with top tier movements, clinch when he try to come inside and so on. Also posses a top tier counter punching ability(Joshua actually is the best in this department, his counters are top, top notch), but he lacks other aspects. Also posses a top tier cardio.
Joshua aint got the skill or jab of Wladimir nor the gas tank and chin of Vitali. If he can't bullrush Usyk then be has no route to victory against the Ukrainian southpaw
You think a trainer trains a fighter to fight the way the trainer fought? Shows how little you know. By the way Floyd fought several ways. You obviously did not see the adjustments he made against Shane Mosley to beat him by being more aggressive and fighting him in the pocket same way he did with Canelo for large portions of the fights pushing back the supposedly bigger stronger. You don’t know **** about boxing. This is basic but a train devices strategy based on what his fighter does well to expose weaknesses and deficiencies in the opponent.
Did i say he has them ? I said this is the best way to handle Usyk, and then you still don't be sure how the fight will end, cause Usyk has alphabet plans in his arsenal.
Just because Floyd was a top boxer, doesn't mean he will be top coach. Actually more times than not good boxers doesn't become a good coaches ....
Fighting at close range is different from cutting off the ring and getting shots off. You're logic is hilariously bad. Olu just get off the forum and take a moment to collect yourself. Floyd mayweather isn't going to teach Joshua enough to beat Usyk in 3 months. And you realize Joshua isn't even mainly training with Mayweather right ? Hes traveling around the UK and the US getting tips from several gyms. You're idiotic biased Mayweather cocksucking is very concerning
I think you need to go away and examine your hatred. You are not even logical your comments show you make the wrong assumptions.
Now AJ is defo getting knocked the **** out. I mean all of the TMT fighters suffer from some serious glass mandibles.
