Again you seem to be mistaking skill for intelligence. Nobody avoids getting hit. Fury literally just took 7 or 8 bombs from Wilder, you don't question his ability to get hit though do you, no because he's always moving away from the punch rather than into it. Mayweather was taking close to 120 shots a fight and is arguably the greatest defensive boxer in the world. You're going to get hit. Joshua got hit because he went into the pocket with a guy quicker than him that throws hooks, guys that are 6ft6 don't go on the inside with smaller fighters, you fight at range and keep them off you. It's really not impossible to understand. Lets apply your analysis to something else then. The great boxing skill is to avoid being hit in the first place. Then why did Tyson Fury, arguably the best all rounder in the division get dropped twice by Wilder?

A) Because he lacks the boxing skill to keep him off him - Skill
B) He got silly and was getting way ahead of himself and letting his hands drop - Intelligence

Ultimately Joshua is nowhere near as hittable as Wilder or Klitschko. Fury is the favourite but Joshua isn't going to move backwards for him.

What's important now.

Rematch clause doesn't have to come first.
Challenging for a belt nullifies all mandatory challenges. So an undisputed fight can happen.
Eddie Hearn is already on it.

£250 million fight and the highest grossing British fight of all time.
