    It was pretty good but pales compared to how Tyson`s combos bounced of opponents.

    Joshua said it himself, he can't throw combinations because he's heavy.

    Joshua isn’t a robust fighter so he can only throw combinations when he has his opponent backed up and isn’t throwing with him. Dubois is the combination puncher that can actually trade with his opponents.

    Since the end of Mike Tyson’s career, I think this title belongs to prime Andy Ruiz tbh. Whenever I watch that huge lard of fat I just can’t believe how fast and fluids his punches are, dude looks like a lightweight when he throws. Usyk is up there too but Ruiz honestly looks faster and has actual power in his combos.

    He couldn`t land combos on Usyk though.

    Ajs combination punching is very good, especially if he has a pulev at 40 in front of him. He has other weaknesses, but this ain't one
