Will Joshua be the same after that war?

He took the punches very well, he wasn't that badly hurt, it was a great learning experience for him.

 

That fight will accelerate and magnify his development. It was a best-case scenario, better than if he'd gotten Wlad out in the 5th.

 

Young enough to shake it off. There's know one else that will give him that kind of fight on the horizon.Also hes proved very early on with that fight that hes legit. Some fighters go a whole career with no gauging fights. Its panned out perfect for him imo

 

Yep that fight did him the world of good in nearly every aspect except taking the punishment, which as said he will shake off at his age

 

Are you smoking a crack pipe ?

 

He ought to get better from the fight.

There's a danger though that the thrill of the fight and the manner of his victory will make him fall in love with his power and think he can can anyone's shots and brawl anyone out of there.
Seen it happen to fighters before. They get addicted to exciting fights and fail to develop their skills or show discipline inside the ring.
Naseem Hamed and Razor Ruddock for example.

 

Not this fight, but as others have commented, I think his style is more likely to absorb punishment than the K Bros or Lennox. He's got some tough competition on the horizon, and while I'd favor him against everyone(unless Fury comes back in top shape), I think he'll have some damaging wars.

I don't think he'll be fighting until he's 41, let's just put it that way.

 

There are two types of fighters who will succeed, who will not have any disadvantages after tough fights:

Warriors and fighters who seek wealth.

Not sure yet if Joshua is this warrior type of guy like Fury, but he can make easy money in HW and I doubt he will mentally break down from anything in boxing, except obviously severe injuries or age.

 

Aj will be so much greater from that war. He should be thanking wlad with 10% of his purses for the next couple years.

Wlad fought him more in that 1 fight than he's learned in his 10 years total career, amateur and pro combined.

The dangerous Aj just doubled, he's going on a hitting run soon. Watch the **** OUT hw division

 

Joshua plans to still be at the top at 40 and lives in a manner which is going to help him in this regard.

In reply to the answer in the thread title - No, Joshua won't be the same after the Klitschko fight. He will be better than ever, I don't think he has reached his peak yet and he has a great attitude to fighting, training and how he wants to represent himself as a champion. So cliche but like Floyd says = hard work & dedication.

 

Joshua has had only one semi tough fight. He has many more left in him.

 

Can you explain to me how fury is a warrior, he sure doesn't fight like a warrior. He is a twitter warrior though.

 

He looked very nervous on his ring-walk - nowhere near as relaxed as he normally does. He also gave Wlad probably a bit too much respect. I think those two factors hindered his performance somewhat. Burning all that nervous energy had an impact on his stamina. He looked done after 5 rounds. But then he got his second wind and showed his championship mettle. It was a great learning experience and I expect him to improve as a result. It was exactly what he needed and will give him an advantage over the likes of Wilder, who has never had to go to the trenches.
