    Watch two rounds of boxing and tell me what you see:

    1) Joshua/Klitschko round 7
    - Joshua had been rocked by numerous flush shots through the end of round 5, then dropped heavily in round 6
    - have a look at the way he talks to Klitschko/himself during the round, also how he bounces on his feet while willing himself back into the fight

    2) Now look at round 1 Ruiz
    - or any round vs Ruiz

    Something's gone out of Joshua, and I suspect its the comfort of the lifestyle that's taken it out of him.

    I agree with the 'Joshua is done' comments unless he gets his head back in the game and becomes that hungry version again. Part of it is changing his team to one that stops treating him like a god-king and starts telling him what he needs to hear, not what he wants to hear.

      ... unless, unless... OK... everybody should have a second chance... but I don't feel that this is the case...

        Thanks The Big Dunn for admitting floyds resume is not so strong and in depth with Floyd s best win being a former flyweight coming to end of career, past prime with no kos for ages.


        I always thought his KO of unbeaten, prime Corrales was his best win .

          Joshua was a scared boy outside of England.

            Not every punch hits you the same though. A good punch especially in the early rounds can take you out of it.

              AJ definitely seemed like he wasn't supposed to be in MSG that night

                Left hook to the temple took his legs away he was never the same after that not to mention all the body shots that had him gassed people will try to analyze and come up with every excuse to justify the person they wanted to win and why they lost but in the end he just got beat straight up if he was hurt before the fight his team should have done something about it they didnt so now people want to take away from Andys big moment keep hating.

                  True dat. There are 10+ different types concussion depending on the location of the trauma to the brain. The chin hit that rotates the head creates whiplash in the brain stem whereas above the ear/top of head impacts differently.

                    I thought the exact same thing looking at AJs face while the announcer was announcing

                      Whyte is correct about everything. He forgot to mention though that AJ quit.
