There's a good chance Joshua could freeze.
Before he lost to Fury the concencus was there was no one around that could touch him.
now he's shot to bits? No, I don't buy that. I think what's happening here is the continuing refusal to accept how good Fury is.
Watch Wlads feet during that bout, he was bouncing around and quick on his feet. What stopped him was not being able to set because of Furys movement. Against Joshua he's got a moving statue. There is the threat of Joshua's speed and maybe fearlessness until he (Joshua) takes a shot and gets gun shy but there won't be any movement or head movement.
If Wlad hasn't suddenly become shot which I don't think he has then Joshua has more to worry about than Wlad does!
How long would Whyte, Molina, Breazeale and Martin have lasted against Wlad? Would Molina have got to the third round? Would Whyte and Breazrale have got to the seventh?
Don't don't do it... so I should do it?
I don't know where you get this "consensus" that nobody could touch Wlad before the Fury fight......... and the few that argue that Wlad is shot to bits don't know what a shot fighter is. But good job on continuing to carry Fury's torch. Credit to Fury for getting in Wlad's head (which in retrospect probably wasn't that hard, given Wlad's reluctance to expose his fragile chin). Credit to Fury for intimidating Wlad and bamboozling him through 12 shitty rounds. But Wlad didn't throw a punch every 45 seconds because he was shot. He threw a punch every 45 seconds because there was a bigger man in front of him, who wasn't cowering down and waiting for the axe to fall.
Not that it counts for much because you could say that of all of them only Dillian had any designs on beating Joshua, the rest just tried to avoid getting chinned and failed.. You need to go back a long way to find someone not making the 4th round against Wlad. Even a knackered old Mormeck made it past 3. Yeah they would last as long with Wlad as they did with AJ, longer I'd wager.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
