Weaknesses of Anthony Joshua?

Bad footwork
No head movement (although he hasn't needed it yet)
Bad chin in the amatures - hasn't been hit as a pro

 

Dillion Whyte

 

On the rare occasions he's been hit as a pro he's tended to stand his ground and fire back which isn't always a good thing. He seems to prefer blocking shots on his arms rather than using his feet or upper body movement to slip shots which may not work well when he finally faces a guy that can get inside.

 

He hasn't fought anyone yet.

 

If he had a bad chin, Magomedrasul Majidov would have stopped him in the amateurs you imbecile. He got hit a lot in that fight as a 2 year novice and Majidov couldn't stop him.

 

we'll have to wait and see when he has to use defence. so far so good.

 

Majidov probably didn't land flush

Anthony joshua made from fine British glass

 

He sticks his tongue out and smiles a lot and sticks his tongue out after he gets hit

 

So far, from what I have seen, he needs to improve his footwork.
He also seems a little tense in there. I could be wrong about that, but if I'm right, tense fighters usually have stamina problems.
Overall, I think he has some pretty great potential.

 

Weaknesses which are hard/impossible for him to improve:

Agility
Foot speed
Hand speed
head movement
Chin? I can guarantee he hasn't got an iron chin...but at best he has a Wlad chin...so he can get by on that.


It's just the way he is physically...He needs to learn from Wlad.

Really needs to master the jab
Master holding & clinching techniques (sorry folks)
When he gets in with guys that can take him all the rounds he will have stamina issues - so learning to pace himself is on the list.

 

Let me him fight someone in the top 20 and we'll see.

 

Questionable chin in the amateurs.

A bit stiff legged.

Does not know how to clinch.

Defense is open to jabs, counter rights, and crosses

Joshua has size, speed, power and offensive skill, but he needs to fight someone who's willing to punch back soon.

He's young. I would not rush him

 

Exactly, it's not so difficult to knock out a load of part-time bouncers and shot pros looking for an easy payday.

 

Tyson Fury will always be better then him wether he is rushed or not
