    If Joshua is going to continue, Mcracken MUST go

    Mcracken is an A, B, C trainer who sent his fighter in to battle with the worst possible strategy.

    Joshua didn't know how to use any of his physical advantages and tried to fight like a cruiserweight against the cruiserweight King.

    As the fight was speeding away from AJ, Mcracken offered no advice in the corner bit to keep his left hand high and keep doing what was losing him the fight.

    Mcracken is a guy who has trained Froch and Joshua, two guys who basically got by on natural ability, in Froch case he was fortunate to have an iron jaw to bail him out, in Joshuas case it's punching power

    Mcracken must go, tomorrow morning, if Joshua wants to continue he must have serious intent and hunger, he cannot stay with the trainer he has spent the last 4 years stagnating under, he needs to get out of his comfort zone and take risks, if he's not willing to do that, don't bother coming back.

    Joshua wont fire him, even if he was shafting his girl. Joshua would go on and on about ''hustle, loyalty and respect''. McCracken is an awful awful trainer. He got very lucky in his career and was able to manage Froch. Say what you want about Froch, but what made him a great fighter was his incredible chin. Froch could take a punch and would always look for the knockout. That's how Mc****** made a name for himself as a coach.

    On the topic of the fight, even if Joshua gets a new trainer/team nothing would change. The game plan was for Joshua to walk Usyk down and use his physical advantage to break down Usyk. That's usually how the bigger man beats the smaller man. For that to be possible, Joshua has to be able to take a punch. He simply can not. Even the slightest punch affects him. Usyk isn't even known as a puncher in the cruiser weight division, yet every single shot he landed on AJ in the later half of the fight looked like it was going to knock him out.

    I give Wilder a lot of ****, but Fury had to beat the living breaks off him to defeat him with some serious punches. Wilder knocked down Fury and looked like he killed him, but he rose up and fought back. Joshua is incapable of doing that, he cant take a punch without looking seriously hurt and doesn't have the mental fortitude he brags about so ****ing much to the media.

    No way Usyk would beat Fury or Wilder. Not that he isn't a better boxer, but I bet money that Fury and Wilder would walk him down and knock him out.
