Comments Thread For: Joshua: Firing McCracken 'Silly,' But Will Add To Training Team

[Bronx2245]

My suggestion would be BoxingScene's own...Breadman! I don't know who else he has in his stable, besides J-Rock! Bread has done a wonderful job with J-Rock! He has the total package!

He’s with the right man.

It’s heavyweights. Maybe Ruiz has his number.

Needs to get rid of McCracken, he's simply not good enough as a trainer.

George Foreman is the right man to add to what he already has. AJ just needs to learn how to use his height/reach to his advantage and learn how to fight smart without expending too much energy. he always want to fight like Mike Tyson and the style isn't for someone as tall as him with long reach.

Foreman knows how to destroy short guys. If he can pick up Larry Holmes' brain on how to use his jab more effectively, that would be a blessing as well.

Damn, Joshua’s head is big as hell

Sounds like he wants the belts back, but he's not sure what to change in order to get them. Like he knows Ruiz has his number, and he's not confident of a victory in the rematch.

Call that female trainer Ann Wolfe

[SteveM]

He's got to put more snap in his jab, get it out and back in real quick so Ruiz has it in his face much more. I don't know if he has that speed and if he doesn't he is in trouble.

Ruiz has so much ore upside than AJ - if he comes in trimmer and more mobile then no amount of Joshua improvements are going to help

1 loss doesn't mean you need to abandon your trainer.

McCracken is a good trainer, he trains the Olympic GB squad and Froch always maintained that it was McCracken who got him where he was.

Lets see how the rematch pans out and if he loses again, maybe then part ways with the knowledge that he has taken him as far as he can.

Someone said Jonathan Banks in an earlier comment, that would be a good shout... He could get some training in with GGG so that might help him too.

Whilst it's not exciting for the fans I think he needs to adopt a really negative style of jab and grab, I think he's chinny but he does have some punch resistance, I'll elaborate... He gets knocked down easy which makes him chinny, but if he had no punch resistance he wouldn't have been able to continue getting battered by Ruiz for another 4 rounds. I think people overlook that he took fact, they just think of the knockdowns and stoppage.

He got caught with a shot that he never properly recovered from, I see the rematch being much less entertaining.

Bring in someone to help him fight using his size and to tighten up the defence.
