    Sure being pissed is normal. Im sure he's pissed. But you can be pissed and take responsibility.

    Telling someone great they're great is beautiful too. Its OK to give credit where its due. Boxing is a sport too, its ok to be respectful to our opponents. We dont have to be Teofimos, Shakurs, etc that **** on their opponents - that's a reflection on the type of people they decided to become.

      I don't disagree with you, I'm just saying he lacks a certain something, some call it intensity, some agressivity, some like me, character. Maybe he's just too nice for boxing. lol

        AJ got soft with $$$ or now that he's been up against real opponents we see his limitations. Lets be honest, they give his resume A++ yet it's all been over the hills, just average boxers and 2 technically sound boxers in ruiz and usyk gave him problems. Plus it's like he's afraid to engage and get hit. Ruiz damaged him psychologically. Plus AJ struggles with shorter boxers. He's 6'6" and fights to their height level...smh makes zero sense.

          I get that, the grit to get rough. I think AJ doesnt have that. You're right. Taking responsibility, he got and I like that. Not everybody is born with fight till I die mentality.

          Same for Teofimo, i think if he catches himself in crosshairs he will woos out

            With that said...I think it was good that Big Baby miller got popped because I think Jarell Miller would've done a number on Joshua just like Ruiz did that night.
            If Miller had believed that he could beat AJ on his own merits, he wouldn't have been caught with count them, THREE banned peds in his system!

              I think AJ could benefit from studying Teo vs Loma alongside his loss to Usyk. Usyk is a southpaw with a style similar to Loma's, so the left hook could be very useful in cutting off angles and escape routes.
