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

[_Rexy_]

So Joshua is adding to his corner and team? Didn’t he post a picture of like 300 people before his last fight saying that was his “team?”

AJ should add yardes trainer ajayi keep himself a one hitter quitter just more mobile and better foot work but still exposive

No reason to fire McCracken for the Ruiz fight. Joshua made the bad choices against Ruiz not his trainer. Joshua needs to fix how he fights smaller fighters. He's looked terrible against all of them. What was he doing crouching down against Povetkin??

He's different from those guys.

Like I already said maybe he is. Maybe he isn't. Only the future tells that story.

Well, if he starts fighting the likes of Hughie Fury and David Price, he won't make more than that.

I don't think he's making $2M-$3M for either of those guys anytime soon if he dropped another fight to Ruiz. I'd be surprised if he's making less than $5M a fight for the rest of his career UNLESS sh^t goes realllllllly south.

Even if he beats Ruiz, I don't see AJ staying in the game for more than 5 years max tbh.

I'd probably agree with you here.

he'll retire for good.

But I'd still bet the over on any big name fighters 1st retirement being their last retirement & I'd be up a nice amount lifetime on that bet.

Well, you're judging him based on the only two big fights he has had in his career, where he won the mind games before the fight, not his whole career. Wlad wasn't motivated for their fight and Wilder was just erratic with his windmill. Just watch the other fights where he struggled against bums.

Sh^t what are you judging Joshua on then? Joshua has only had a couple live fights & got shook up by Whyte & Povetkin dinged him nice, but that one gets overlooked cuz Joshua took him out a round or two later iirc. And lets not forget Joshua destroyed by one of the non-live bodies. Joshua MADE Ruiz into a name.

Stiverne went 12 rds with Wilder in their first fight and he isn't known for his chin.

That was Wilder's best opponent by a mile at the time & maybe his 2nd or 3rd live opponent. I think Wilder played that fight safe more than he did things how he usually does them.

Fury got knocked down by a cruiserwieght and some factory worker for fu..ck sake.

Ain't that better than getting decimated by a late notice overweight guy. It is to me. If you wanna say Joshua lacked focus vs Ruiz I'd say the same for Fury vs those two guys. And the difference is Fury comes back to KO guys on his unfocused nights & Joshua ends up getting merked & taken out when he's unfocused.

AJ also doesn't just swing windmill like Wilder, he throws high percentage punches and mixes things up.

It don't matter how AJ swings. He's gonna miss. He's gonna get tired & Fury is gonna light him up like a cheap pinball machine at his leisure. I suspect Joshua is such an easy W for Fury he'll get lax in the fight & Joshua might get a KD at some point, but Joshua is still gonna be missing too much to capitalize on it cuz he's not able to handle pressure when its coming at him & he's tired. Dude basically quit vs Ruiz. He was calling time outs vs Joey P. He's 100% a guy who'll quit in the future when pressed too hard & tired & that might very well end up happening vs Fury & I'll greatly miss you when you don't show up to this site for weeks after Joshua quits again.

Not to be harsh on mfers who quit cuz I don't think quitting is bad, but it is what it is.

LMAO at AJ being more predictable than a Wilder who telegraphs his punches. Just watching Wilder alone, you know what he's going to do before he moves, lol. Once he sets his feet, he's going to paw his jab and swing his right. That's WIlder in a nutshell.

Joshua is a robot. He's not exactly flowing like Fury does either. I don't disagree Wilder has some predicatability with his punches, but his athleticness is what makes him more awkward cuz he can throw some sh^t from angles others ain't even trying to do from positions others wouldn't even consider. And its highly exploitable in theory, but no one has really exploited it all that much with Wilder cuz Wilder catches them sooner or later & his power is ****** power.

LMAO at AJ avoiding a clown like Fury, lol. He'll jump at the chance of fighting Fury before WIlder if Fury has a belt. The reason why he's more focused on Wilder is because of the undisputed crown.

In fairness to Joshua I think it'd be Eddie trying to avoid Fury. I think Eddie is a pro at lowball offers & sketchy terms that make it look like other mfers don't wanna fight Joshua. Thats why Whyte is sorta kinda with Matchroom & has been offered the Joshua title fight for all those belts but still hasnt accepted it cuz Eddie is sketchy with his offers. Or Joshua is behind the scenes to hear some people tell it. Idk who behind the scenes is really make the lowball offers, but I tend to think Joshua would fight anyone & Eddie isnt with that plan as much.
