Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis: Andy Ruiz Should Make First Defense in Mexico

[M Bison]

Joshua is the bigger draw and he already fought on Ruiz home turf, to suggest there needs to be a fight in Mexico? Ludicrous, I think Mexico pick and choose who they want to represent them because I seem to remember John Ruiz holding a world title but nobody wanted to claim him then?

Guess its different now because you actually have an emphatic sort of upset, but like I said they pick and choose who they want to represent them. He was born in America so by that standard he isn't Mexican and doesn't need to fight there, hell he barely has ever fought in Mexico so why now?

I think it should be MSG but its gonna be the UK

There's no money in Mexico. Canelo is a god there and he can't even have hometown fights.
NYC is where it'll be because dazn wants subs.

Foreman would not teach Joshua to fight like George Foreman. Freddie Roach does not teach Pacquiao to fight like he did in the 80's. Enzo Calzaghe never fought. The point is George knows the game as well as anyone. He's has the wisdom of all his mentors including the ATG Archie Moore or Angelo Dundee ( who was not much of a fighter). Foreman had an amazing jab thanks to the work of Gil Clancy after the Zaire fight. George can teach Joshua things his current team NEVER taught him
1. How to fight utilizing height and reach to keep the opponent at bay . Fight like a big man.
2 how to throw a jab that's basically a power punch
3 How to tie up your opponent
4 How to manhandle your opponent and actually use your superior size and strength
5 How and when to throw hard punches to the heart and shoulders that send electric shocks through the body. '
6 How to muzzle and attack after getting rocked with a shot, Archie Moore defense.
7 How to fight without your chin up and head open.
We can go on and on with the mistakes that took place when Joshua got hit hard and was swarmed with combinations. His current team DID NOT have him prepared and NEVER WILL.
I'll take George Foreman over those amateurs any day.

Foreman isn't a trainer for a reason. Not all ex fighters would be good in the role.

And LOL at calling McCraken an amateur. Go and check out what he's done to the amateur scene in this country as well as for Carl Froch. It was AJ who wouldn't listen to his instructions for what ever reason.

I partially stand corrected on that. McCraken is not an amateur. That I didn't mean it in a way to minimize him. I respect him and all fighters for that matter. IMO next to Foreman with his depth of experience wisdom all those younger are amateurs. Foreman isn't a trainer because he's worth 150 million dollars and has 8 kids and 30 grandchildren. He doesn't need it. He left HBO to spend time home. 99% of trainers are not ridiculously wealthy like George, they need the money. Foreman would make a great trainer just like Roy Jones Jr. Joshua should call in the man whose been to the bottom worse than he is now. Only George could relate only George can teach him because he's done these things in the ring like no one else has! It would work.

The Mexicans you see in the public eye and all your fighters are of Spanish blood. Learn the difference between the two. Dimwit.

HaHa...

Some likely have some Spanish Blood but their all Mexicanos...
