Comments Thread For: Joshua Plans For War With Usyk, Explains Why He Tried To Outbox Him

[champion4ever]

De****able post. I would report this post usually to the moderators as its upsetting me to read but you are my boy so i going to ask you nicely out of respect for me to delete it please..... Good man

I am sorry Anthony. How dare me make such a statement against a bold and courageous warrior like AJ who takes ass whoopings and goes down swinging and out on his shield like a true soldier as Deontay Wilder? I am so ashamed.

Let’s cast aside your antagonistic response for just a second.
I usually weigh my words and did the same with AJ so let’s address facts. AJ is bigger and a better boxer than Michellin Man Ruiz YET, AJ fought on Ruiz’s level (including crouching to Ruiz’s size) and hot blaster out. Exposed, so to speak.
He then fights Usyk by AGAIN negating the advantage he has (size).
Predictably, AJ will adopt the exact same style he used in the rematch with Ruiz - jab and move with the occasional 1-2 punches. I mean what else will he do different?
So, my question yet again, so what if he beats Usyk? He got beat by Ruiz then won the rematch and claimed to have learned his lesson only to get wrapped up by Usyk and then again claiming it was a “lesson learned”.

These are facts that you define as hate.

Its not that serious really. All i ask is that you can intelligently back up your blasphemous wordsor rationalise your perceived hate and if you can i'm totally ok with whatever you say. Well explained by the way

When he gets hits good he looks and the stare he gives looks like he is about to cry , or like someone's last stare when they see headlights coming towards them on the road and it's too late to jump out the way.
At least that's what i see when he gets hit.

Mental fatigue and frustration accelerated his gas tank emptying.

Same thing Loma was doing to guys at the lower weight. You got a guy in front of you who’s making you miss and making you pay over and over, he’s right in front of you but then he’s not there, you’re trying to put think him but he’s already a few steps ahead. Then the self doubt starts setting in. Before you know it you’re behind & there isn’t much time left & those punches are starting to hurt a little more.

AJ looked decent trying to box the first few rounds he landed some good straight rights that made Usyks eyes cross a few times. He didn’t use any of his physical advantages against the smaller man though. And honestly I don’t think he know how, nor do his trainers know how to teach him.

I can’t really every recall him ragdolling anyone. You have all the size and all those muscles, why aren’t you leaning on guys, gripping them up, pushing them back, bull rushing them?

AJs problem is his chin & his mental. He doesn’t have a good poker face. When he’s hurt it’s blatantly obvious & he panics & doesn’t know how to compose himself or buy time.

Usyk has a decent chin for heavyweight and he will be a little stronger in rematch, he's going to time Joshua and sleep him early

Joshua at the moment is the fall for guy for this forum but he stepped up to the plate and faced his bogey man

There certainly wasn't a consensus that Usyk was Joshua's bogeyman before the fight. Don't give AJ props for taking the mandatory when he was a near 3:1 favorite and it was generally just thought of as a fight to get out of the way before the fight with Fury for undisputed.

[DaNeutral.]

He needs to fight Usyk not Box him, he was never going to outbox a classy Boxer like that. But I think we all know he will need to work hard and he hasnt got the best gas tank and he will be at risk of walking on to things and we all know he hasn't got the best of chins.

I'm not sure he has it in him to beat Usyk. Hope I'm wrong I'm a big fan but I know I certainly wouldn't be putting my wages on him in the rematch.

Which is exactly what I did in my detailed response to you. Ruiz and Usyk losses will define AJ’s legacy. Unlike Lennox, who has a great resume, AJ will come up short again. His “adjustments” are not on the fly during a fight. It’s after he gets beat in the same manner as we’ve clearly seen.
For the record, I don’t dislike AJ, I picked him to beat Wladimir and all the guys he’s fought, only to be disappointed with his two losses.

Joshua is like any typical bodybuilder/weightlifter, overly muscled that requires a lot of oxygen. He does not carry that mass naturally like a Lennox Lewis, Joshua's muscles are for show and a hindrance when he's pushed and has to go the distance. If he loses a lot of muscle mass his endurance will be a lot better, but he'll lose power and his marketability. Joshua is what he is, a decent HW in a weak era that was matched up and marketed brilliantly and achieved a lot with his many glaring flaws.
