From a purely physical standpoint, Joshua reminds me of Bruno, too big and muscular to be able to sustain a consistent workrate over a 12 round boxing match. He is also incredibly explosive. His issue is that he needs like 2 rounds to recover from his KO efforts. He picks his moments and then takes his gamble, he either gets them out of there, or needs to enter survival/recovery mode for a few rounds during which he is very vulnerable. Eg vs Klitschko. He knows this about himself, it's why we see these periods of apparent inactivity.
It sucks, it's not like there is an easy answer to the problem, it's just his makeup. He could try losing muscle mass, but that's easier said than done and rarely goes well for boxers.
