      Joshua's seek-and-destroy style will only work against bums, and if you have a good chin to withstand what is coming back. Good boxers will pick him apart. He needs to fight like a big man and fight behind a stiff Jab. You can still be relentless if you fight behind a jab, so I have no clue what Joshua is talking about.

          Joshua keeps looking,for answers outside of himself when the problem is inside of himself. After the Ruiz fight he quit fighting in the style that got him to the top. A guy his size , with his strength , and his athleticism should be out there just beating the hell out of people , steamrolling them. Not mincing around, throwing a jab and jumping back .

            I remember when Joshua trettened me and threw me out of his gym. I could have hit him, but it would have had to have been a lucky punch from the Gods. What if it didn’t work? He’d **** me up, but I’d get some compensation. Yeah, it’s a risk innit. It’s a risk.

              Because living an hedonist life isn't worth living, right?

                  I thought he looked quite good in that one fight under Garcia. I think he went backward under Derrick James. Early days with Ben, but promising so far.

                    The whole HW division is thanking him since he got the money bag back on the right track.

                      I think his punch resistance is gone and he's fighting scared, needing a trainer to pull his big boy pants up for him to gain confidence.

                      Sounds like he'd be better off retiring to a cave in Nigeria to write his memoirs instead of fighting.

                      He can pretend he was Miyamoto Musashi at the end of a glorious career where he fought and vanquished the best of the best and is now looking to write his book of 5 rings.

                      It would be a mediocre work of fiction, i imagine...
