I've stayed away from 'the old Joshua' comments for the most part because people generally want to see him treat a guy like Usyk the way he did someone like Breazeale, it's apples and oranges.

In Helenius case this is 100% fair game. He absolutely could have countered and you could see the openings come and go whilst Joshua did nothing. In fact you could see Joshua see the openings come and go. He absolutely could have thrown the fluid one two that flattened Zumbano Love so decisively but he wouldn't let it go. Instead, he did a terrible job of convincing himself that he was committed to it.

He talks a good game. Leave me alone, let me do my thing in here. I don't believe he is doing his thing at all and I don't believe he believes it either.
