What are the technical flaws in Anthony Joshua's boxing style?

Lack of head movement, not good at seeing left hooks. He doesn't have confidence in his stamina either.

 

You definitely know everything.

against who he had defended these holy belts? LoL.

This was Pulev! total underdog and definitely less dangerous than 40 y.o Povetkin . Pulev is less dangerous than Dorticos and Usyk or even Briedis. Not alone to compare Pulev vs Wilder or Fury.

 

Yes, but AJ's combos and punch technique is superior. He's a much better mid-range fighter. Overall AJ is clearly the superior technical package imo, but Fury's height, reach, reflexes and boxing iq might still make him a favourite against AJ.

I think your analysis would be benefit form not being purely critical of the fighters you dislike and having zero critical eye for the fighters you idolise (like Tyson). And at times it's like you haven't even watched the performance you critizise, like when you said that AJ didn't counter Pulev's jab.

 

For me, the Fury vs Joshua fight will define Fury just as much as it will Joshua. Fury has never beaten a top fighter in his prime. Nor has Joshua, for that matter. Regarding their common opponent, I'm certain Joshua would have gone through with the rematch had Wlad taken up the option. You really can't say the same about Fury, regardless of the reasons why, can you?

Let's get back to the old head movement argument. I suspect Joshua has never learned this basically because he's never really had to. His fight ending power and size have been more than enough. I don't think he needs to worry too much about that now at this stage. He's doing pretty well as it is.

He got countered against Ruiz because he wailed in and tried to stop him, not mindful of the fact that Ruiz has a great chin and beat him to the punch every time. More head movement would not have saved him in an exchange like that. That was being stupid and playing to Ruiz's strengths and negating his own.

Anyway, bit of a stretch to call him highly flawed when he's potentially one fight away from being the first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis. Some people are way too critical for no reason.

 

That is correct.

 

More like 4, I couldn't believe it when I was watching that

 

Fury was not in control of anything. It was more of a terrible performance of Klitschko, who still hurt Fury in the 12 and if he would have fight all along that way, he would have won easily.
Fury just throw a bunch of punches more. It was boring as hell. One of worst HW title match to be fair.
Fury did nothing in that fight, neither did Wladimir, Fury just did a bit more.
Prop for that, but he Klitschko was old, just like was old in AJ, at least AJ take him out.

 

Pulev was old, but still he is very tough opponent, who lost only to a better version(still pass it) of Klitschko. Pulev has one of the best jabs in the divison as well, and AJ took that weapon away.
Pulev would be Fury 3rd best win on his resume, and second of Wilder, so that tells you a lot.
Pulev is very awkward fighter, one of the reason a lot of fighters don`t wanna fight him, at least till now. Now he is old and and i expect to get few more loses before he calls it a night.
Fury is overrated as hell. He clearly lost to John McDermott, he was floored by a featherfist of a featherfist - Cunningham, he was badly hurt by a a nobody - Joey Abell. Couldn`t stop Pianeta, won against a terrible boxer in the face of Wilder, and beats still a champion, but very old version of Klitschko, who did nothing in that match, and thats why he lost. Also Fury run twice from the rematch, twice!
Not even close to face a solid boxer like Joshua, forget being in his prime. Fury just can`t cope with him and will be KO.

 

People like to try and play coach, but the reality is the guy can't do the things people think he should do.

It's not about fundamentals, the guy has bad balance. When you look at him on the inside it's not hard to miss, when he trys to lean on someone you see his bambi legs in action every time, when he gets pressured you can see his lead foot rise up sometimes. He can disguise it with good posture at mid and long range, but up close it's there for all to see.

He cant engage on his toes because he needs a good frame for balance, he can't lean or use too much quick head movement because it will break his posture and potentially put him off balance and he cant bully in the clinch because he hasn't got a steady enough frame.

I think a lot of boxer's individual styles are built more on their physical constraints than they like to let on, and Joshua's biggest physical constraint is his lack of natural balance.
