Comments Thread For: Joshua: A Minor Setback; I've Dealt With Worse **** Than This

Nah he's done.

It's clear this guy doesn't have it in him when it becomes a dog fight.

He smiled every single time he touched the canvas and touched gloves with Ruiz like they were friends every time the bell rung.

Dude has zero killer instinct in him.

He was in dog fights with Whyte and Klitschko and came out victorious both times...

Let's wait and see where he goes from here

This L could be the best thing that could happen to his career or the worst... In one year time we'll know

Right now the jury's still out

Wilder vs Ruiz.. Make it happen Dr.Claw from Inspector gadget (Al Haymon)

When all is said and done, Mr. Joshua quit. He did not simply get overwhelmed in a strange environment. Andy Ruiz exposed a piece of his athletic soul he will probably never retain ownership of. Whisker failure turned into heart failure and he's one fight away from career failure. Meanwhile, Andy Ruiz came to fight and I don't believe he's a One Hit Wonder. Good for him.

The passion is gone, he says all the right things in front of the camera, but his eye tell a different story. He lost interest before this fight, lots of talk about it being a no win fight, he fought overseas, he’s mega rich now and probably just wondering why he’s bothering. I also think he’s lost faith/trust in Hearn and it’s been happening for a while now and now he’ll be questioning his coaching team.

AJ may genuinely bounce back, but I wouldn’t also be surprised if he retires, at least temporarily. He needs to recalibrate and reassess why he’s doing it before he can do it and the rematch didn’t even seem to hold lustre when he was asked about it.

Other boxers have come back when it's a one punch knockout to do well. But he got knocked down 4 times by a barrage of punches.. Such a difference in the trauma between the 2. But I wish him well..

Hahahaha, worse than having your entire world altered in the worst possible way?

AJ is done unfortunately, he better save his money.

At least he broke the bank before getting exposed.

Yeah I'm hoping its the latter but only time and future fights will tell.

What a great fight wasn’t it? So happy for Ruiz! After Ruiz knocks out Joshua again I’m sure wilder will offer him a $5m flat fee

What a great night for boxing!!! Dazn takes a loss! Eddie hearns so called “takeover of American boxing” comes crashing down! And now al haymon and the PBC control the heavyweight division! What a great night for American boxing!

It was a great fight no doubt, not the result I wanted but I’m definitely happy for Ruiz. He’s got a real feel good story right now.

If only Wilder believed he could win and took the fight instead of “betting on himself” by repeatedly passing on career high paydays then you’d have been even happier.

He will not comeback to America again..ever!
