Comments Thread For: Joshua: Not Going To Hold Myself Down, Only Going To Uplift Myself

[iamboxing]

Nice, cute social statements for the sheep on social media. Absolutely useless in the ring.

Just STFU already with your self-help garbage and go learn how to throw a jab.

Let's not pretend it won't be the same for Wilder next week

Huh???? What are you on about?

[shakedaddy]

The press conference was the most humbled I've ever heard or seen AJ. Ruiz took his heart, usyk took his soul. What happened to the AJ who beat whyte, vlad, breazeale? AJs mantra is to stay hungry but humble. I haven't seen him hungry in the ring in a long time. He's not a boxing technician and he's trying to be. Has fame, money and all the other accolades taken away his desire? He's still too stiff, no head movement, fights down to this opponents... Literally. He crouches down like he did when he fought Ruiz and he did it with usyk. You're the bigger man, fight like the bigger man. You should be able to avoid most jabs and over right/left hands. I don't get it with him. Fury doesn't bend his knees and crouch down in a boxing stance when he fights. He uses his size to evade punches which is why he was successful at nit taking wilders right hand in the 2nd fight, and when he did get hit, it wasn't as strong because he was able to lean back and absurd or deflect it.

Usyk Ain't coming in the 2nd fight 30lbs overweight like ruiz. AJ either needs to add 10 more pounds and smother usyk to tire him out and the engage or he needs to let the belts go for a few fights and fight in between like what wilder and fury did after their 1st fight.

Yes, I kept yelling at TV, wondering why he gives away his advantage by crouching and fighting small. It was incredible to me how AJ didn't even look much bigger in the ring than Usyk either, I mean he's a huge man. I think If Emmanuel Steward were still alive, he could turn AJ into the next Pugilist Specialist, but he's not so I don't know who can take over his training. I totally agree that AJ must go back to his big bulky frame, and learn how to use his size to smother and weaken Usyk without gassing out himself due to the muscle mass. His power seems a little less too with this lean frame, but maybe that's due to Usyk's chin, I dunno - Usyk's face looked all kinds of beat up after. I don't agree that he got his soul taken, or some of the people saying he's a bum, overrated, etc. Even despite the wrong strategy, he fought a helluva fight against a helluva fighter and showed both skill and will in there. I don't see what there is to hate, but boxing fans have always been this way.

You know exactly what I'm implying don't act dumb, there's plenty of PBC/LDBC cultists and Wildettes who'll be there for Wilder to "uplift" him after he loses and I'm sure they'll make infinitesimal amounts of excuses for him as well.

Oh you’re one of these incels that is addicted to YouTube channels with black men on them. Oh yeah now I know what you’re on about with your race fetish

Fury negated Wilder with control of distance more than anything else. Usyk seemed to control the distance for the majority of the fight with AJ. Just shows how fundamentally flawed he is if a guy giving away so much reach can control distance.

What's race got to do with anything you idiot, the only one "addicted/obsessed" with anything it's you, you're constantly harping on "day zin" as you call it and matchroom, if anyone is an Incel bro it'd be you, strange guy...

Joshua needs to take a long holiday and forget about boxing for a while.

Relax, heal, then get himself a new trainer and gym and try to develop that killer mentality that he currently lacks.

He's already got the bag so he doesn't need to worry about the commercial side of things.

That's what I was thinking. Screw all that English gentleman bullocks! If AJ wants to be a force in this sport, he has to be a monster in the ring! He's big enough and generally skilled enough (needs to learn more about using the jab), his main thing is attitude. He should consult Mike Tyson on that.

I disagree. I know fury used his size and ability to stay distant, but he beat wilder by imposing his will and size more than anything else. He beat him up, laid on him and just roughed wilder up. Wilder was beat by a guy using his size and strength.
