Joshua's quit against Ruiz was the worst in recent memory

That fight was fixed anyway.

When I watch the ending of the first AJ-Ruiz fight now I don't see Joshua quitting, I see the ref ending it prematurely. Joshua was buzzed, definitely keen on maximizing the time he had to recover but he wanted to continue & I don't actually think he gave the ref a good reason to stop it. I don't see a fighter that was looking for a way out, I see a fighter that was trying to use his experience to buy time.

The fella that quit on the weekend against frank Sanchez or redbach against prograis, wayyyy worse quits AJ battled on like a warrior despite getting knocked down multiple times I'm talking about big fights, but yeah, that looked like a blatant dive. Plenty of fighters get knocked down and carry on, it's not like had his face broken or his eye swelling up.

Nah mate, it was a punch from the Gods! Concussion doe ​​​​​:lol1: :lol1: ​​​

Wrong. Fury has been in many tough situations in the ring, he was dropped and getting outboxed by Cunningham, he had to switch up styles and walk him down, he was badly cut against Wallin and fought on for 12 rounds, he was nearly decapitated by Wilder, and got up and put the fight on the former champ. He went life and death with McDermott, got badly hurt against Chisora the first time and fought back and won. He was dropped by Pajkic, and had to fight back and win. Saying Joshua is more tested is laughable tbh. Nobody has made Fury doubt himself, nobody has beaten him 'To the point where? His best was not good enough'. That is what Joshua has experienced inside of the ring 'And he still came back from it'. Tyson Fury has not been tested like that, I would imagine soon as he is beaten? He will retire. Being cut or dropping a few rounds to USS Cunningham is not really the same kind of test Joshua experienced vs Ruiz Junior. Tyson Fury is untested, Floyd Mayweather was untested 'Sometimes fighters miss out on certain tests, because nobody is good enough to put them through those tests'.

Get the **** outta here. American refs are NOTORIOUS for letting fighters continue long after they should. He was done. It was a good call to prevent further damage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ4P1ySqbLg&ab_channel=DAZNBoxing 4;30ish mark Granted, AJ was a ilttle slow after the ref pushed him back but damn. How many punches did AJ eat ? Have to expect some delay.

Rigo vs Loma was bad.

IIRC, the ref waved off the fight after AJ followed said instructions Get the fuck outta here. American refs are NOTORIOUS for letting fighters continue long after they should. He was done. It was a good call to prevent further damage.

Meh, I don't hold much weight on "quitting". Some days just aren't your day. It did definitely show that Joshua struggles when out of his comfort zone and in deep water. But plenty of exceptional fighters have done the same. Its not like even lauded guys like Tyson didn't search for a way out of fights they knew they couldn't win.

Curtis Harper walking away from Ajagba without throwing a punch. Tor Hamer quitting against both Glazkov and Ruiz just because he was getting embarrassed, leading to Lou DiBella firing him on Twitter. https://twitter.com/loudibella/status/404454812181614592 ​​​ Nick Walters straight telling the ref he didn't want to continue, then immediately running over to give Loma a hug and a kiss for making him QUIT. Rigo quitting against Loma was bad as well.

I'm still waiting for someone to give me a worse quit?

Tyson Fury has not been put in such a situation inside of the ring, in some ways he has been less tested than Joshua. Wrong.

This site is as racist as ever. What's racist about calling Joshua a quitter?

If that is the truth according to you, Joshua then immediately re-matched Ruiz Junior 'That show's character'. I think during Ruiz I, Joshua was inexperienced in how to deal with that situation. You don't give confusing messages to referee's, or play games at times to buy time. If the referee would of let the fight continue, Joshua would of fought on 'And probably have been knocked down again, or survived to the end of the round'. Joshua effectively had his career turned upside down vs Ruiz Junior 'And he immediately came back'. Tyson Fury has not been put in such a situation inside of the ring, in some ways he has been less tested than Joshua. But that is why he is most likely more dangerous now than ever, because he believes he is a destroyer etc. Note: I wonder how Saunders in these coming months will react to his recent loss? Retire? Or comeback to fight again?
