I'm surprised because the way he demolished Klitschko made me think he had a lot of killer instinct. I was honestly expecting to see Anthony Joshua continue fighting the same way he did against Klitschko and basically tear up the division. I guess we can say after he got knocked out by Ruiz that maybe he lost his confidence and he got spooked and became gun shy. I guess it happens to a lot of fighters. The thing that gets me about him though is look at how huge he is look at how massive he is he should technically be almost unbeatable when you Factor in his youthfulness and his athleticism.

Yes he has done well and only has three losses on his record. Avenged one of them even if it was in a snooze fest.

In a strange way in my opinion he has a lot in common with Adrian broner in that he seems to be a little bit disconnected from the reality around him and believes himself to be a lot greater than he actually is.
This "zero killer instinct" thing is a bit exaggerated. He can be overly cautious but you can't pretend he hasn't shown it on several occasions. Joshua had already caught Povetkin in round 6 and spurred on by that his instinct and finishing here in Round 7 is pretty flawless
