    Usyk will give him an even bigger beating in a rematch.

    This might well be the end of Joshua.

        His chin was always suspect, almost all his matches, he was doing the stanky legs, Ruiz shattered it and now he can't take any clean shot, without flashbacks. Uysk does not put his whole body in his shots, none of them should've bothered a top HW like it did Joshua. If Joshua is afraid of trading with a light hitting CW/HW, his confidence is totally gone. All you Joshua fans who thought he fought a brilliant fight in his rematch against Ruiz were fooling yourselves, he was terrified to trade in that fight against someone who didn't even bother training. Yeah Joshua should retire, his chin and confidence is close to zero.

          Joshua has made a fortune off the back of slick marketing and careful matchmaking.

          As a boxer he is pretty limited TBH, Hearn saw all this in the Klitschkho fight and made sure Joshua was only matched with guys he could beat after that.

          It's not Joshua's fault, he is crazy wealthy, young and in good health but he won't ever be a HW champion again.

          If you really look at his career, he never improved much over the past 5 years and there is always a guy like Usyk or Ruiz around who has your number.

            The thing is AJ is athletic, his footwork and footspeed isn't terrible by any stretch he did a reasonable job of pivoting and preventing Usyk from creating angles and following up. A lot of these other HWs are stuck in mud and would get plastered and nailed with far more shots they didn't see coming.

            His power also bothered Chisora who is a total brickhouse.

              I couldn't imagine being this crestfallen when a boxer suffers a defeat. Crazy. Sad.

                Retire? Now he's lost He needs to fight more and get more great wins to rebuild reputation. Coming back from defeat is where it's at.
                If fury retired now people would say he needed to do more, and retired too soon with unfinished business

                  It’s because he’s not really a boxing fan, just an AJ fanboy. So it’s understandable.

                    Funny to see how many jump off ship when things get tuff. Says something about their character TOO.

                      This is an old thread from last month.

                      The tag team of booty scratching bonobos of PBR Streetgang, Deathofaclown and RJJ from planet of apes just dug it out.

                      Ignore the thread.
