Rarely does any fighter have an 100% great training camp. Many fighters in history have had terrible training camps and other personal issues in their careers.
WTF are all of these weak excuses i’m reading?
Buster Douglas mother died on January 1990, while training for a fight with an undefeated, 24 year old Mike Tyson for a fight on February 1990, where he was already a 42-1 underdog.
While training for a fight with Antonio Margarito, Shane Mosley, who was a heavy underdog, was also going through a divorce. Never been through one of those but i’m sure they f/cking drain the life out of you worse than breaking up with a gf.
Mayweather had looming jail time to serve while after the Cotto fight. He trained through camp with the thought of him going to jail.
Robert Guerrero’s wife was battling cancer while Guerrero was training for the Berto fight.
The list goes on and on, those are just newish examples. I’m sure fighters of back in the day went through their fair share of crap while in training. Ali facing racism, prison time, religion bashing, etc.
What Joshua went through is normal sh/t and it’s weak to try to give him a pass.
With that said, I think AJ wins the rematch and I give him the benefit of the doubt in the ring. He got caught fighting ****** and never recovered. I think he comes back and gives a better account of himself. Not because he will have a better training camp (lol), but because he will try to be more intelligent when going after Ruiz.Comment

He also probably didn't train as serious for Ruiz.
Assumed based of Andys appearance he'd be easyComment

Josh never got koed in sparring..only reason he lost because ruiz is well schooled Mexican trained by roach. Josh should have trained with mayweathersComment

His dad's reaction to the fight and his desire to interject himself is very telling... Joshua like most in this generation has to learn to work out of tight spaces. Didn't have the best training camp? so what? His father is doing him no favors.
Unfortunately these days fighters need to look at how men fought and carried themselves back in the day. In a tough spot develop skills and the gumption to use them.Comment
