Joshua's gas tank wasn't much better than a 41 year old's

Maybe he cannot fix it. Maybe it is genetic and inherent.

Explosive fighters do not brilliant gas tanks.

Wlad slowed his fights down for a reason too.

 

His not perfect but no fighter is

 

You nailed it but he was allowed to play patty cake to a sure decision. That's the biggest reason why pedvetkin's people need to force a purse bid and make the fight in russia to make AJ fight.

 

That isn't an absolute rule or even generally true, a good gas tank has always been on the rare side regardless of explosiveness.

 

This. He's too muscular and heavy. It's very hard to fight at a high pace while being over 240lbs.

Joshua is good if he can keep the fight pace slow, which he usually can do against slow and heavy opponents like Breazeale, Whyte, and Martin, but Takam's mobility and handspeed had him sucking wind. Joshua used lots of clinching against Parker to keep the pace slow, but that won't work against Fury and Wilder, who are both Joshua's size.

I think the only solution is for Joshua to get his weight between 225-235. At 240+ his stamina won't hold up against Wilder in the later rounds.

 

you're actually right

 

He just dropped 13lbs and went 12 vs parker without breaking a sweat.

Dafuq are you on about

 

Lol cool man if it helps you sleep at night

 

Fake news. He punched himself out from the excitement. He summarily commenced to finishing Wlad's career.

 

And Wilder was outworked by old flabby man Ortiz....

Point?

 

This actually reminds of Bonecrusher Smith, who early in his career was very muscular and also had a bad gas tank problem.

James Smith 247lbs

In an old interview Smith mentioned that Emile Griffith made him get his weight down from around 245-250 to 225-235 and kept him away from the weights to loosen him up.

Joshua when he first turned pro was less stiff and had better mobility, since he fought closer to 230 instead of 240+. I think If Joshua showed up at 230 he would easily boxed Parker's ears off, but at 242 he had to clinch for dear life to avoid running out of gas.

This clown has NOTHING on AJ yet hates him so much attacks the only possible weak hole that could but bite him in the ASS many years down the road.

If he lasted those couple rounds while getting literally blasted by wlad he proved it's going to take a special fighter on s special night to come out victorious..

DW is the only current fighter, (SHYTE, AJ, wlad and LL) are the only fighters that could be the betting favorite going in, and that's not saying any beat him.

Those 3 are the only fighters (very limited members on that list) that have the physical capabilities to compete with AJ in any given night..

Why can't people just enjoy the once in a lifetime fighters when they come around. They are so easy to see, so obvious yet it takes fighters their whole career to prove fans right, but in more cases proven them WRONG..

We have a handful in boxing right now

 

I think if you look at the likes of Lewis and Wlad you’ll see their optimum weight was 240+. Each fighter is different, but Joshua’s a big guy.

I suppose the counter argument to him being to heavy, besides what I’ve just mentioned, is that what he’s doing is working for him. Yes, he was to heavy for the Takam fight, but being closer to 240 as appose to 230 appears to be the way forward for him.
