    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.
    He is plenty great without being A Great. He is a late starter and a bit of an overachiever really. Certainly much more than the robotic bodybuilder Fury pretends he is in order to hide his own overblown achievements. Joshua has good fundamentals, a killer uppercut, a decent jab and a pretty classy overhand right on occasion. He is a bit dull but refreshingly honest and free from the bullshit Fury etc sputs most of the time. No excusing his post-Usyk meltdown but Fury is way more embarrassing about 99% of the time he opens his gobshite mouth.

    Personality wise his arguing with old rival Whyte during their fight and then the smile as he knows he is catching him and then the joy in finishing him so spectacularly suggests he doesn't take himself too seriously and can enjoy himself at times. Also another great example of a killer instinct more than capable of keeping Fury down and out
