    I feel like too many people here haven't seen a HW fight in decades. Joshua doesn't have the best gas tank even in a p4p sense. Vitali for example had good stamina for a guy his size, but even he was wobbling all over the damn ring in like round 5 against Lewis because he was so tired.

    That is what happens when a HW fighter goes to war and throws punches. His body needs oxygen to keep moving with speed and power and precision. When you are that gigantic you get tired after throwing hard punches.

    When Fury fought Wlad he didn't gas because he fought an extremely negative fight and threw about 7 punches a round.

    I don't think it's pathetic. I think he went all out in the 5th because no one gets up from a Joshua barrage. Wlad did, and came back strong.

    AJ has good stamina for his size. He has better stamina than Bruno ever had

    I was impressed by how Joshua had the wherewithal to gather himself together from the middle of the 6th through the 8th to get himself back in the fight.

    He was not tired , he was badly hurt from one of the hardest straight right hands i have ever seen and he tried
    to recover for 2 rounds , which he did really good , he came back swinging bombs in the 11th round , if he had
    "pathetic" stamina he couldn't do that.

    Good point.

    AJ at least proved tonight he is Far better than Bruno, and has a far better chin and gas tank.

    If that has been Bruno in the 6th, the fight would have been over there and then...
