    Are you under the impression that Americans don't lose a lot?

    Also, when they're fighting garbage all the time and shot fighters at home, it's easier to win.

          I think they might train a bit less "enthusiastically" than US fighters. Brazilian fighters are the opposite, they go life and death in the gym and they actually ruin their chins from training too hard.

              It's this mass delusion they have, the UK people are largely disconnected from reality, they still worship queens & princes FFS.

                Joshua started boxing at 20, right? That's a lot of lost years during adolescence where boxers develop that fighter's mentality in the gym.

                  Is this in response to this stoppage and the Khan stoppage?

                  I mean Khan has shown PLENTY of heart throughout his career. He had a suspect moment in a fight he was out gunned in.

                  I don't think Joshua quit today. He got up every single time he was dropped but was just done after the last KD. Joshua had nothing left and was completely spent. Glad the ref stopped it when he did or else Joshua could have really gotten hurt.

                    Unfortunately you don’t develop a fighters mentality in the gym, your born with it.

                    The gym is just a place where you express it.
