Comments Thread For: Wilder's Trainer: Joshua is a Bit Gun-Shy, Ever Since Ruiz Loss He's Been Overthinking

[ddeg10]

The top heavyweights right now are all talk and no action. Someone needs to step up. At least Joshua got in the ring. These other guys have been inactive for far too long

So Wilder isnt gun shy after being koed by Tyson? Even against Helenius he looked wary. I guess Wilder can hide the fact hes gun shy by not fighting anyone at all. Just waiting for a Usyk fight?
I can assume Wilder is gun shy by not fighting the man who Koed Josh.

Wilder got beaten pretty badly in the 2nd fight, but he did not come out gun-shy in the 3rd. Heck after getting knocked down, he got up and dropped Fury and was willing to trade. Even at the end of the 3rd fight when he was completely done and the ref rightly stopped, he was still trying to get up and continue the fight.

So call Wilder a fighter with limited skills but you cannot argue that he fought bravely till his last energy and was never gun shy.

Wadabout Wilder? He wasn't terrorized by old, Wlad; fat, Andy; or smaller men. He has been KOing bigger men all along. Show me where he's gun shy. That 24 foot ring should tell you about gun shy.

Wilder was super gun shy in the rematches with Fury and Ortiz. Haha. What are you talking about?

Wilder was too scared to fight Wlad. Wlad would have ended the fraud years before he was with his running away and fighting garbage.

AJ has fought the best who would get into a ring with him. Doesn't matter their size. But please do tell who these "Big men" Wilder has fought. Give me a good laugh. Hey, when do you not make me laugh with your madness?

AJs always been a mental midget as far as I can tell. People are only talking about it now that he's Lost A few times.

I think Joshua understands that his chin is a big liability and He doesn't trust his chin and due to that he's fighting in a style that doesn't suit him at all so that he doesn't get hit. I think he's done as a fighter.

What's next
The Sun is really hot ?

Malik is right. Joshua needs to be more like Wilder, who doesn't think at all - including completely forgetting his body attack gameplan against Fury after only 1 round.

Joshua issue is deeper. It's been cumulating for awhile but came to the fore during Klitschko fight. Few may have noticed it even during Dillian fight. He gassed after a barrage but Dillian was more gone He pushed shots that brought Klitschko down in round 5, and gassed out badly that he himself came down in the next round. That's his panic He will gas out. His tank is small as is becoming more apparent as he ages. Even with Andy, he got caught easily bcos he had gassed after putting Andy down using a barrage. A barrage will gas him out. That's why he is gun shy. It's not Andy's doing. It's been getting worse as the years piled on.

Were the facts and questions i put to you too tough again? What a shame.

As you were...

Gun shy isnt neccesarily bad if it helps your defence. At least Josh hasnt visited the canvas 5 times like he had before being gunshy. So isnt that a good thing heading inn the right direction?

It depends. But he was gunshy with Usyk, a cruiserweight who cant stop him with any one punch, he should have used his size in those fights instead he froze up and tried to box with Usyk which was a huge mistake. Chisora, a fighter inferior to AJ by any metric, performed far better against Usyk than AJ, because he used his size and applied pressure to Usyk, he wasnt afraid to eat a shot to land his.
