Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Says He Tried To Outbox Usyk To Shed 'Big, Stiff Bodybuilder' Stigma

[Boro]

AJ was forced to change himself in the rematch. Any other game plan and he gets knocked out. What's so hard to comprehend. You have a Fat fighter in Ruiz with extremely fast hands but slow feet. Get his fat tubby legs moving. Now the only problem is now AJ is safety first all the time and he doesn't have the defence or required Stamina for that method of fighting to be successful.

No one implied it was hard to comprehend now did they, Ruiz has two good attributes his explosiveness out of a clinch à la Joe Hanks KO and his hand speed, he's not a big puncher, he's extremely slow footed and can't cut off the ring... Lennox got sparked by one punch against Rahman but he didn't fight terrified like AJ, Wlad shook him up and Ruiz castrated him.

Anthony Joshua Says He Tried To Outbox Usyk To Shed 'Big, Stiff Bodybuilder' Stigma

that is a terrible excuse... especially considering the fact that the much smaller Usyk made him look like a big stiff body-builder

yeah, that was fairly blunt.

Haha yeah it was. Truth be told, I don’t have even have anything against AJ. I just reckon Usyk’s too much for him (and everyone else for that matter)

Translation: Its better we don't engage lets be on our bike and when we survive we will call it a masterclass. That fight is 2nd in the guiness book of records for the least amount of power punches thrown in a heavyweight title fight and there has been some stinkers. Anyhow it was a win against a formidable opponent, Ruiz as you said was useless but nevertheless they both ran irrespective of your justification

you’re right in there. Doesn’t matter how anyone cuts it, Fury-Klitschko was a stinker. Running from Andy Ruiz, who looks like Majin Buu (google), is a bad look, but your argument for AJ doing it makes perfect sense: Play to your strengths, work against your opponents.

Regardless, there were actually punches thrown in that fight. Fury hugged Wlad so much, he looked like he was comforting him at a funeral, after taking several lines of coke

Joshua showed us that he can rebound from a loss against Ruiz. Granted, we all know that Ruiz' lack of discipline had a lot to do in that fight. But at least Joshua showed us that he prepared adequately and learned from his mistakes. I prefer Usyk over Joshua in the rematch but if Joshua wins his stock will rise again. Everyone loves to see a champion redeem himself. It's true; it's not about the falls but about the comebacks and obviously we'd want to see those comebacks be sustained. Can he do it again? We'll see.

joshua showing his mental weakness again. Fury's words got to him.

Listen AJ, I know you read everything we write on here, you are the type to google your name. NO ONE wants to see you turn into another boring ass pre-kronk Fury or Devin Gayney, we wanna see you be 260pounds of inside fightingness and maul this cruiserweight. Drop your ****ty instagram coaches and amateur coaches and stop the motivational quotes and go WARMODE.

Nothing obviously but the "What's so hard to comprehend" made you come across as a bit of an arrogant prick I'm not gonna lie.

That sounds awful, he's always been prone to gassing and in the few fights he had over 250 he was gassed by the 3rd or 4th, he'd have to change his style to be an effective mauler as well trying to change your style in one camp to go against arguably the best pure boxer in the division sounds like a sure fire way to get ko'd.
