Just beat 40+ year old shell of wlad.
Ref saved him from having to fight Parker.
Beaten no one else decent.
The guys is a quitter and a fraud.
I guarentee he paid a lot of money for those body builders muscles. Designer PEDS aren't cheap, neither is staying 1 step ahead of drug testers.
His "athleticism" is awful. Gasses too quick, stiff, too much muscle.

Originally posted by angkag View PostYoung Wlad was indeed a lot like Joshua - rushing in to trade without the chin to back it up, question is whether Joshua can mature like Wlad did. Young Khan was the same, and Khan never changed, so he kept getting 'young Wladed' in fights (if you see what I mean).
The advice to Joshua is going to be clear - if you get the other guy hurt, stay composed, stay behind the jab and break them down while staying defensively responsible, and he sounds like he's got enough sense to understand and respond to that.
Its a balance, if he's overly fearful of return fire he ends up exhausted on nervous energy like David Price did after the first Thompson loss - but for sure Joshua has a lot more in his toolbox than Frank Bruno ever had and would be good to see him work his way back.
Does anyone doubt that Wlad from 2007-2013-ish would have easily knocked out Ruiz? I don't.

Joshua cannot fight when a dude is firing at him. Ruiz is not even a big puncher.
AJ is Audley Harrison JR.
A lot of BS on AJs resume. Guy is maybe a top 20 HW.Last edited by Robertthebruce; 06-19-2019, 08:11 AM.

Lol - no fighter peaks when there 40.
Very weird for Wlad to retire when he was just reaching his peak. he must of had another solid 20 years of boxing in him if he only just reached his peak.

Let's not forget, if AJ had landed cleanly on even one of those follow up shots after the Ruiz KD, we may never have had this conversation.
