Comments Thread For: Frank Warren Explains Why a Joshua Shocker Was Evident Before

[Corelone]

Pathetic excuses.

You thin Ruiz had perfect preparation?

The thing is, Ruiz had a fight and was busy, where Hearn kept AJ sidelined with all his BS. I'm not saying AJ could win, just he went a year and Hearns mouth got all the action.

A fair assessment from Frank I think.There has been a few chi-nks leading up to this point and unfortunately Ruiz exploited them.

[Squ□redCircle34]

AJ is mentally weak and is mentally defeated by Wilder!

He admitted that he rather it be Wilder beating him than Ruiz!

Smh, he consistently talked like a guy who isn’t the unified heavyweight champ of the world!

"With the benefit of hindsight, you do wonder if he will regret the decision to spurn the guarantee of $80m for two fights against Deontay Wilder. That is gone now and you would question if he has made that money up in the meantime, which he would have banked by now, win or lose."

AJ has lost his titles and his undefeated record, but that doesn't mean his history can be re-written!

It was Wilder who spurned DAZN's $80million guarantee to fight AJ, not the other way round.!

And AJ wouldn't have banked that money by now because him losing his titles to Ruiz would have voided the deal.

It would obviously have been contingent on Wilder and AJ both winning their interim fights, with Breazeale and Ruiz, before facing each other.

I hate it when smart men like Warren try to take advantage of boxing's less intelligent fans like that.

Re Rob McCracken, I heard him telling AJ in between rounds to keep his punches long and straight and don't go for hooks, because when he did, he was getting caught by hooks from Ruiz. That was good advice, but AJ ignored it and kept breaking one of boxing's golden rules: "Never hook with a hooker" I don't see why McCracken should be blamed for that.

boxing's less intelligent fans..... should have smartened up and stopped making their usual brand of childish excuses when it became clearly obvious that AJ and Hearn were avoiding Wilder

that is just another L for you excuse-making casual-fans

God are you Americans desperate. Wilder had nothing to do with this what so ever, but you couldn't contain yourself. Wilder is the mentally weak one. He's the one who talks about things but never backs it up with substance in the ring. But you're convinced by this low level ret4rd who can't stop lying and contradicting himself because he talks none stop. If Wilder were for real, he'd have more than just the one good win against an unproven hype job in Ortiz after 42 fights.

Wilder never had the confidence to tackle AJ. Even though money was on the table that Wilder could never generate on his own. That's mental weakness. Nor would he travel to fight AJ or someone with some substance. He wanted everything his own way even though he's a nobody because he knows the truth deep down regardless of how deluded he is.

And lastly... AJ was saying he'd prefer to lose to Wilder because in that fight he knew there was a possibility of losing. He didn't against Ruiz. But you've twisted it into something only an egotistical c4nt could because you're just poison and have no substance liker your hero Wilder. You say these things because you're so desperate for it to be the truth, but it's nothing but your hopes instead of actual fact and reality. But hey, they're just American characteristics for most of you. Now that is weak and cowardly. The truth is too much for you bare, so you create a reality of your own that you can live with that matches your f3cked up narcissism and lack of self awareness. Talk will always be just that. Talk. Substance though is where you really show your character. And you and many Americans, have none. So keep on talking about what you and your fighters are going to do because we all know they're too damn scared of actually going out there and doing it. But you believe them because you're as mentally weak and cowardly as they are. You support them because you see yourself in them. All talk and no action. Pathetic.

Joshua WAS always vulnerable but this was a winnable fight.

He didn't use his size and reach advantage. He let the smaller fighter get inside his reach with too much ease.

He didn't seem prepared for the quicker Ruiz. This is a terrible loss for him. I honestly don't see how he recovers yet alone win the rematch.

I agree with Frank Warren. AJ needs a new trainer. AJ needs Abel Sanchez to learn the secrets of Mexican Style.

Fight Mexican style with Mexican style!

This way all of GGG’s fans that loved the Mexican style gimmick will cross over to AJ and bless him with an added 3.5 million followers!

WAR DAZN!

Abel Sanchez? Are you crazy? That's exactly the kind of style he doesn't need. Joshua needs to work on his defense, Abel knows little to nothing about defensive boxing. Ruiz was actually trained by Sanchez for the Parker fight (which I thought he won) and switched to Manny Robles for a reason. He boxed much better against Joshua and looked sharp and focused. If Joshua was trained by Sanchez for the rematch that would guarantee a loss.

Yeah that's why Joshua made it clear that he wanted Wilder next, after Ruiz and nothing else and said he wanted to sit down, man to man, and make the fight happen. Of course, this isn't happening now since he seemed to think it was a forgone conclusion he was going to beat Ruiz. It was Wilder who signed to rematch Ortiz, making the fight with Joshua, had he beat Ruiz, null and void. What part of that can't you get through your thick skull?
