Comments Thread For: George Foreman: Joshua Doesn't Need Ruiz, Delay The Rematch!

[Curtis Harper]

You really think he can avoid the gossip about him and comments made from other fighters?

He aint Hagler training in the middle of nowhere.

U remember when Spence beat Mikey? 1st thing he did was bring up shyt that the lengends said that rubbed him the wrong way

Focus on the bold.....We are the opposite.

Fans and Legends been making excuses for him and saying the same thing. He can't escape gossip from fans and also unless he isolates himself. What argument u making? That fans hold no weight or he don't hear them cuz i never brought one up

George Foreman is speaking from his own experience. When he lost the heavyweight crown to Muhammad Ali, he never challenged him again. It would take George another 20 years before regaining the Heavyweight title.

Le sigh.............

Fans, of all people, should be the 1st group of people to be ignored. Have you not noticed all of the bltching and emotional rejects NSB has !?!?!?!?

Cmon, now.

AJ is a pro and I'm sure will get those belts back. If you disagree with anything I just now typed........

And his Olympic Gold medal?

Oh come on don’t start with that silliness. He got clearly beaten in his first bout (Olympics) by a career <91kg boxer. We all know that.

May the best man, who was once the owner of those belts, win

LoL, so simple. They've both owned the belts now, strange you didn't notice.

The number of ''cowards'' is shocking.

''AJ shouldn't immediately go after the guy who trounced him !!!!''

Smdh

Yet, fight fans envy those who are willing to die in the ring !!!!

Not sure the connection. AJ wasn't willing to finish .... let alone die in the ring.

There isn't a dominant heavyweight out there despite what records show. Joshua needs a rematch with Ruiz immediately. George Foreman is wrong. Joshua has flaws in his game. His stock as a fighter will drop if Ruiz loses to the next guy....And there's a good chance that Ruiz will lose to the next guy. That's why so many "next" guys are calling Ruiz out. Ruiz has flaws in his game too. Joshua needs to be the next guy. His plan should be to secure the immediate rematch, hope for a win, and then work on improving his skills. This is the only way he can keep his stock from further dropping. There are no Alis, no Tysons, no Holyfields, no Foremans at the moment. In this current climate: Any heavyweight can lose just like that.

Until Wilder or Fury lose, this is just sour fan-girl g****s.

The rematch is signed and sealed. Dec 14th in Cardiff. If you don't like it, go jump off a cliff.

Haven't you heard? DAZN wants it at MSG again. Should they jump the cliff too?

����*♂️����*♂️ Kinda expected this to be Foreman’s opinion on the matter. He showed with actions that by taking some time (10 years off) you can refine your skills and still display greatness. Let’s not forget Foreman took a year off following his defeat to Ali, and came back and beat Ron Lyle in a FOTY. He also beat Frazier again by KO. Yet he still lost by DEC to Jimmy Young. He understood very well that you just can’t put a bandaid on this boxing chit and think you’ll still be as dominant. He is simply advising AJ from personal experience. Could AJ’s career arc play out differently? Of course, but he is playing a dangerous game rushing to get ALL those belts back at one time. His greatness won’t be defined by that loss or the rematch, it’s his career. No matter what his tunnel vision minded team is telling him. There are sharks circling in the HW division. I hope he identifies this and moves accordingly.

Spot on. AJ fans think some are hating by saying slow down on the rematch. Head shots that equate to concussions are serious. It takes the brain more time to return to normal than other injuries. The very last thing a healing brain needs is more blows and possible concussion. AJ should wait. It may turn out ok for him, but as you noted, he's playing a dangerous game.
