    hes not robotic. dude looks like middle weight moving around there at times. the big beach body is working for him . i think it would be smart to slim down just a tiny bit . nothing major at all . cuz if not broke dont fix it.

    Is very strong big clubbing power with good handspeed but slowish feet.I do wonder if he will run out of steam late against a mobile fighter and his chin is still a question.would like to see him with less bulk more Holmes less Hulk. Is Often compared to Bruno but they are different Joshua is a bit more fluid but Bruno had a better jab and hit harder with one shot.perhaps their stamina turns out similar will shall see.

    Good point re: robotic. People always read a negative slant into that word, but if a style is effective, then who cares how?

    Unified heavyweight champion in his 19th fight, yeah every boxer does that, usually twice on a sunday lol.

    He ran a 11.4 100m which is impressive for a 17st man who doesn't train specifically for sprinting.

    He's a good athlete, not as good as Wlad was in his prime, but it's pretty clear Joshua has natural ability, he'd have to, to start so late in a sport and have so much success.

    The forum is close to split on the state of Joshua's roboticness

    I don't think he's robotic for someone who weighs 250 @ fight night. Moved well, throws good combinations.

    No. The designers clearly went the extra mile to give him humanlike movement, before they started field testing J.O.S.H.U.A v1

    Vitali was the most robotic fighter I've seen and didn't do to bad using it. If he is...it's working so far.

    I assked myself this question about Wlad. People called him that cause he was big and white I guess. They love that stereotype. Neither Klit was in any way robotic. More like they had awkward movements sometimes. Almost like they were stumbling, but not robotic in any way to me. Pretty fluid sometimes.
