Which picture makes you feel sorry for the guy on the ground?

[Combat Talk Radio]

Two signature moments in time. Tons of parallels.

Who did it better? Who'd you laugh at and who'd you cry for?

Joshua/Ruiz




Tyson/McBride

[Outlaw420]

Felt bad for tyson. He clearly didn't want to be in the ring, he was just fighting for a paycheck only at that point in his career.

With Joshua I'm just disappointed. I wanted Ruiz to make the fight interesting and have his moments, but I still wanted Joshua to pull out the victory. I wanted those undefeated records intact until the big showdown between him and Wilder.

Wasn't it obvious that Joshua didn't want to be in the ring (for some reason) either?

He did look a little nervous before the fight, but Joshua is still in his prime years. Tyson was at the end of his career and was just fighting for a paycheck after going broke, so he has more of an excuse.

We don't know that Joshua really still is in his prime. I frankly saw cracks way back in the Breezy fight and called them out back then.
