List of sparring partners who knocked out Joshua

[DuckAdonis]

Parker and Whyte suck and Povetkin and Klitschko were totally shot.

Parker sucks but he beat Ruiz who just KOd Joshua? I know what you are going to say. 'Ruiz was robbed in that fight'. No he wasn't, it was a close fight that could've gone either way and the judges picked Parker as the winner. It was bad luck but let's not pretend like Ruiz is levels above Parker. He is not, he is on the same level. When will you people understand that styles make fights? Parker had the chin to take Ruiz shots and fire back, Joshua did not. If he did, Ruiz wouldn't have won I'll tell you that.

Ruiz isn't that good either.

Heavyweight is a garbage division.

lmao, wasn't Floyd KO'd by Zab Judah the last 5 training camps of his career? This is getting ridiculous with the discrediting of Ruiz's win. Like Ruiz didn't train his whole life to box and won by lucky punch. Ruiz had a gameplan and the skill to make it work. He out did everything physically and mentally Team Joshua had to offer.

LOL at bringing up all those Zab training camp KO's. I've forgotten about those.

I think this L was so f#cking insane to digest to most people they think there has gotta be some other reason that Joshua lost then he was 2nd best Saturday.

Thing is this has almost happened 3 other times one could argue. The Klitschko fight was the most glaring almost disasterous night. Whyte had Joshua wobbled pretty good. And even Povetkin landed a nice lil shot on Joshua that had Joshua a lil hurt momentarily. If Klitschko would have pressed Joshua instead of playing it safe we aren't even talking about Joshua's title reign ending tonight cuz it'd have been over already & his 0 woulda been long gone. And if Whyte or Povetkin had had a lil more luck or Joshua had been a lil more careless maybe we aren't here now either cuz Joshua would already have an L or two too.

All that happened last night that didn't happen in those other 3 fights is Joshua couldn't get anything going on cuz Ruiz didn't let him get too much happening against him & made Joshua pay when he made a mistake with his quickness.

And honestly it'll be the same deal when Wilder catches his first L. These guys HAVE BEEN beatable they've just had things sway their way when they've been in their toughest fights. It won't always sway favorably when you are treading so close to losing doe is the thing.

Yeah because sparring proves how good you are? He has wins over Klitschko, Parker, Povetkin and Whyte. Let's just wait for the rematch and see how Joshua rebuilds his career. Andy Ruiz could have just had his number or Joshua just got hit with an equilibrium shot that he didn't recover from...

Ruiz is not really above other guys Joshua beat. That's just boxing man, styles make fights. Doesn't mean Joshua isn't any good. It's how you come back from a loss

the right hand behind the ear definitely took his equilibrium, at least from what i saw in slow motion. Throw in the fact that he allegedly was either ko'd in sparring or concussed and throw in Ruiz abnormally fast combos while in the pocket and we have "The New"....cong**** to Ruiz. His comment to his mom at the post fight press conference was amazing.

Looking forward to the rematch.

I am hearing that he was K.O in sparring a few days before the match and he was still concussed

Pro boxers are concussed every damn time the get hit in the face; and you are a world champion, and the baddest man in your division gettin koed in sparring by sparring partners; you may simply be a c class fighter......no excuses
