    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.

      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'.

              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.

                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.
