Of course, it's all mind games, I dont particularly believe either side. I'm sure there good and bad sparring sessions for AJ and both sides are going to the extreme.
Absolutely. No one is neutral any more. You have to be on the extreme either end.
Not that it matters or i take stock in AJ being rocked..... EVERY sparring partner saya that the star destroying sparring partners. Hell even floyds last sparring partners were saying he was koing guys

This particular one seems like counter-propaganda to me. Hearn said AJ is knocking everyone out and posters here made threads about it. So, as has become common here, someone made up a lie to counter a lie.
This place has become so predictable.
Lmao at how true this statement ia
Funny because some of his sparring partners have come out and are saying he is destroying sparring partners and sending them home early.

I hear ya'. It's not like I believe sourceless stuff myself.
Still if AJ is in fact knoking out sparringpartners, well that to is, besides being classless, not a good look. No way sparring partners will work with you if the work only consists of putting jaw to Joshua's haymakers….
I do remember how Edison Miranda KO'ed a de-hydrated Chad Dawson real hard 10 days or so before the Ward fight. That news spread on the internet and had some relatively credible sources behind it. I put a lot of stock into it and was one of the few to predict Ward would win by stoppage.
The rumor was later confirmed by John Scully and others where only the hardness of the KO (or KD) was in dispute.
So let me say that if there's some truth to the rumor and that combined with an evident weight loss, this would indicate trouble for AJ.
Sooooo…. Where do these rumors come from?

Yea, sparring means nothing other than who is showing restraint and who is not. Most fans seem oblivious to the fact that it's controlled practice. This "dropping sparring partners" talk usually means a guy is just an a**hole. Also, sometimes a newer guy is looking to show up a famous fighter he's been paid to spar with so he'll try to get in some hard shots.
That said, I doubt they let AJ spar hard or let anyone reckless spar with him. Not after he showed a shaky chin. His coaches are going to look out for him and keep him safe for this fight.

Ive heard about 12 different rumours from AJ sparring. Lets see what happens on Saturday night. Not interested in training camp rumours when those rumours are coming from PBC affiliated PPL. They could be true, they may be lies.
Every rumour possible has come out of this camp. He's been injured too, apparently.
Better to believe none of it rather than picking which bits you want to believe.
I haven't really been inside a camp of any top fighter so can't know this for sure, but i'd imagine that's quite normal for a fighter to be rocked at some point during the entire camp?
