Joshua was carefully constructed inside and outside the ropes. Unfortunately, it appears his finest hour - the Klitschcko win - was the fight which appears to have taken a lot of his fire. He appeared willing to go through hell to win a battle. Now, not so much.
Fury wasn’t given a prayer against Wladimir, the boring nature of the fight didn’t exactly excite people, nor did his meltdown after it, he gained some luster back with the Wilder fights and he’s became more likable too. In fact, his last three fights, he’s been very exciting whereas previously he was a bit boring in the ring.
The thing about Joshua is that he really isn't a natural boxer , fury derides him for it (calling him stiff and all that) and honestly I feel there's a degree of truth to it, he just feels off at times like a fish out of water , it was severely visible in the usyk match where he was clearly outclassed.
I'm not taking credit away for him as he truly is a consummate professional in terms of working hard, the problem is he really isn't excessively blessed in one area to make up for his shortcomings (he doesn't have the best chin, best knockout power or endurance) , to me he's a better version of frank Bruno.
I never understood why fury didn't get they hype he deserved ( i was very impressed by his showing against Wladimir as you could argue he beat the better version of an all time great much more easily than the rusty version that Joshua gone to war with) but he might be on the cusp of achieving that if he goes for the undisputable title match.
Anyway I might be made a fool of and Joshua actually proves me wrong but we'll see.
