Comments Thread For: Robert Garcia Says Anthony Joshua Needs A 'Stricter Camp'

[Wacked_Out]

Ray Mercer and others from that era, would do very well today, despite fighters today being heavier and taller. Something is missing from today's heavyweights. Size isn't everything

I was gonna say that Mercer could wipe out the division today but Fury would be a tough one and I dont think he could defeat Wilder cause hes a bad matchup for Merciless.

We are missing top US heavyweights. When you got a lot of Heavyweights from just England in the top 10 you should worry. England is a small country, with smaller people than the US in general. The US should have a ton of top-HWs but they must be going elsewhere. Probably into other sports

Smaller people in general huh? average height in America is 5'9 it's 5'11 in the UK and that is the case in almost every single European country, USA is comparatively "small"... so how does that work.

Which makes sense given their horrendous diets and lack of psychical activity in general.

If he can get Aj to stick to the strict "no boyfriends In camp" rule- he may have a shot at getting the best out of whatever the overrated bodybuilder has left In the tank.

Limiting his Spas days might bring out the dog in him and whatever nastiness he's capable of. Enough to make an ornery a$$hole out of even one of the biggest divas in boxing.

No Lindt Chocolates or Ferrero Roche during his "Real Housewives" binging should help with his stamina/endurance in those all important championship rounds.

Do these things and you'll have a pretty in pink killer to command in the ring. Trust me

Joshua has no hunger TBH.

He drew confidence from a huge team of babysitters and cheerleaders when with McCracken.

Now his fragile ego is proving to be his downfall.

I don't understand how some people here say his best performance was the last Usyk fight, I thought he was completely outclassed?

I respectfully have to disagree. Wilder with all his explosive power, wouldn't knock Mercer out. Mercer was a tank and could take anyone's punch and come back and go to war. His toughness, skills and conditioning would push Wilder way past his comfort zone. And he could certainly hurt Wilder. And once he got tired or hurt against Mercer, he'd be in big trouble. Mercer was a finisher

He's performance against Usyk the second time round was arguably his best technical performance it's his lack of heart and discipline due to yes men that's letting him down currently...

Now i'm not sure McCracken was a cheerleader and a babysitter but he does seem to draw mentally fragile people like Froch and AJ who need constant reassurance and affirmation of their ability.

But that isn't necessarily babysitting/cheer-leading it's just being cognisant of their mental fragility and trying to draw the best out of them despite the aforementioned issue(s).

[Carpe Diem]

Mental midget, big for nothing.

The UK could not form a basketball league. I've been to the US - people are big there. You see a lot of huge guys. There are probably a lot of tiny Asian and Mexican dudes who bring the average down. But it's a country with 300 million?? people

a list of what joshua needs & whats been recommended should really be posted to AJ for him to look over, it could be a large document

Dominic Ingle, Adam Booth, Don Charles these are all good trainers for Joshua.

Robert Garcia was a really good trainer for Joshua, and would of been even better if he was allowed full coaching duties 'And more training camps with Joshua'.

As many people have said? Skill for skill Joshua's last fight was one of his best performances. Joshua vs Usyk II, was skill for skill a higher level fight than Wilder vs Fury III.

I do think the reaction to Joshua's recent loss has been very dramatic.

Joshua has just lost a 12 round competitive fight, to a unprecedented talent in Usyk. Joshua was not beaten up, decked or knocked out.

Joshua has just went 24 rounds at elite level, this is invaluable experience. Anthony Joshua can no longer claim that he is a inexperienced fighter at any level.

When you look at Joshua's resume, he is more experienced than Tyson Fury at fighting at World & Elite level.

Fury although he is a World Champion is still playing around at domestic to high end European level 'That was the level of his last fight'.

I recently watched a interview with Dominic Ingle. And I agreed with some of his opinions regarding Joshua.

Nobody can deny Joshua's work ethic, lets be real. Anthony Joshua has near psychopathic work ethic, Joshua seems to be a self reflective, analytical and obsessive individual when it comes to boxing 'And what I think is happening, is that this entire situation has been over-complicated'.

It is crucially important now that Joshua is matched superbly, Match room are going to have to do some of their best work ever.

Me personally I think they should just leave the Wilder fight. I think Andy Ruiz Junior is a better fight, and better match making.

Ruiz Junior vs Joshua III 'And this time around Joshua, should aim to beat Ruiz Junior down'.

Note: Joshua is still a major player. I am unsure why people are behaving as if he has just been beaten down or blasted out 'That did not happen vs Usyk'. Joshua compared to Usyk in the rematch, improved the most. And if the third fight with Usyk was ever made, it is highly likely that this trajectory will continue.

I do like the idea of Joshua facing a American fighter 'Wilder is stylistically probably the most dangerous fight for Joshua, by far more dangerous than Tyson Fury'.

This should be a exciting saga in Joshua's career. Joshua is now a contender. he does not have any titles 'But he has to find way and fight his way back'.
