Comments Thread For: Andy Lee Feels Anthony Joshua Should Link Up With Adam Booth

Who cares what trainer he picks imo

[springfiels]

Lol!! This has to be some top-tier trolling from Andy Lee.

Adam Booth is the only trainer I can think of who would probably make Joshua gas even quicker than he already does...

Booth's best fighters are all explosive back-foot fighters who look to walk you onto stuff, they also all seem to have about 5-6 rounds in them. Last things Joshua needs. I swear Booth also doesn't believe in road work...

Honestly, even just typing this, it's a ridiculous suggestion... Top trolling tho!

Why do you think Roach training style would be a good fit for AJ?

For no reason other than he won’t try to quell his attacking instincts (assuming he still has them).

No matter how hard he tries, Joshua is not a boxer, and certainly not a strategist. I’m saying there’s little point in adding any extra stuff to his game because he’s never learning it, but I expect Roach to coax him into getting forward with high activity once more.

And to be frank, 95% of the HWs aren’t good enough in this era to live with him if Joshua does what he did pre-Klitschko and vs Pulev. He’ll never beat Usyk, however.

I actually think a mentally right and fully confident Joshua is a dangerous opponent for anybody in the world. Even if you want to argue only for the first half of a fight, he’s still there.

I don’t like admitting it but based of Fury’s last performance against wilder , Joshua can compete with Tyson. Because let’s be honest, it was a terrible performance from Fury. I was screaming at my tv at how square on he was and flat footed it worried me tbh!

He’s not and never has been a ‘boxer’ and yet, is still capable of beating anyone not named Usyk. That’s how mediocre this era is, IMO.

I know money would be on Fury in such a scenario, which I think is more than fair, but it’s definitely not as easy a fight to call as some observers think. Joshua’s lack of decent footwork and head movement means he’s there to be hit.

Thing is, though Fury is superior in these departments, he’s also there to be hit, when he gets his feet caught under him. And for all his flaws, Joshua can hit, and he sets them up, almost like a real boxer!

I think Andy Lee is just saying Booth because they are friends and it would be a big payday for Booth. Personally, I've never been impressed with any of the results Booth has gotten out of his fighters. When I heard the ridiculous instructions he gave Kelly against Avanesyan to back him up, I knew he was all hype and had no clue. At that point it was obvious that Kelly was going to lose in dramatic fashion. He literally caused him to get KOd quicker by walking into the shots of a more powerful, stronger boxer.
Any trainer who knows how to employ an aggressive offense, using a solid jab up and down to back up an opponent and cut off the ring to land power shots is what Joshua needs. Now whether he would be able to implement such a game plan against a boxer such as Usyk is another question.

Great post. Enjoyed reading, have to agree with you completely. We are in a underwhelming era also!

I know it’s really annoying waiting for this rematch, but…. Having to ‘wait’ 6 months ‘everytime this clown loses’ when he’s lost just the twice is having to wait 6 months, TWICE.

P***** me off too, but Christ, you’re talking as if it’s every week

Whats even worse is its actually 8 months, for Ruiz rematch and Hearn is saying May for Usick rematch, that's another 8 months, remember he lost to usick in September, that's OK like I said he won't be holding up the heavyweight division anymore after May, hell he might even hold off till June, just keep dragging it out

Actually, that's a fair point about that gap. And personally, reckon the Usyk match will land late May/early June.

He's getting beat, for sure. I'm not sure if I think he's holding up HW div, tho. If one could say that he definitely is, then he wouldn't be alone in that regard.
