fkn hell

If the fight ever happens, put your money up. AJ sparks Fury out in less than 9 rds.

Many greats lost and regained, but almost nobody has lost so humiliatingly and been dismissed by everyone as Klitschko. He'd be an excellent advisor to AJ. That is not to say AJ would need Klitschko's style, but to advise you how to re-organize yourself mentally to get back on track - I can't think of anyone better than Klitschko. Plus he can experiment his challenge management program on AJ

yep, him and AJ actually had a similar problem

not well-rounded, and not fighting to their strengths

AJ needs to simplify his game, and fight to his strengths..... he needs to either be sticking Ruiz, or smothering him... wait for the opening

Most coaches have their limitations. Look at Freddie Roach and how he’s a great offensive mind but his fighters are poor defensively. And heavyweight boxing is completely different from other weight classes, hence not all coaches can train heavyweights.

Also, you’re only as good as your coach and Carl Froch is what MCCraken is. Josh is more talented than Froch ever was and he needs a coach that specialises in other aspects of boxing to maximise his enormous talent. He just needs extra input on how to fight tall and use his height advantage to become a complete fighter. And perhaps how to conserve energy through the rounds.

He’s already good against boxers his height and taller because he’s head and shoulders above all the tall HWs when it comes to fighting on the inside in short and midrange with hooks and uppercut, hence I think he’ll beat both Fury and Wilder easily.

So you're saying that McCracken is Limited and needs help training AJ ?

I can see it though .
The same way Jay Deas brought in Mark Breland to assist in training Wilder .

Josh has pride and he does read a lot of opinions online, social media and watches a lot of YouTube videos. Don’t be surprised if he reads comments on boxing scene as well. And he’d rather bow out at the top than share the ring with those bums. He has made more than enough money and he wants to make a transition into acting like The Rock once he’s done with boxing. It’s also the reason why he’s building his YouTube page for the next phase.

I've heard a million versions of how things are supposed to go with guys in their prime & I've seen 99% of those plans go south in the later years. Good luck to Joshua in being in the 1% with his plans.

So don’t expect to see him on those Matchroom bum cards.

I'd argue any Matchroom card with Joshua on it is by default not a "bum card".

LMAO. Most of you only got to know about Fury after the Wlad fight, his ban, bum beating, Wilder fight and now back to beating up cans. Fury knows his limitations. I followed Fury’s career from when he turned pro and he’s more of an opportunist who wins fights against decent boxers with mind games before getting into the ring and taunts them in the ring with exuberance thus leaving them confused. Not actual boxing skills, hence he stays ducking rematches with anyone who can beat him. A classic gypsy con artist. His mind games won’t work on AJ and he’s going to get sparked out. And there will also be VADA testing.

And again you are wrong which isn't surprising when your every stance is fanboyist or hopeful of me being a hater. I don't recall when I was onto Fury, although it was within his first 5 or so fights, but I'm well aware of what he's capable of once my stance of "if his head is on straight" which is gonna be key to his success. I trust him to be motivated for Joshua so that isn't in play, but I think its been why people think so negative of him still despite the excellence he's shown in various bigger fights.

If Fury were as confident as you, the AJ fight was waiting for him in the UK and they were already in discussions for the fight once he’s fully fit. But he ran off to the US to fight Wilder for less money because he knows it’s the easier fight.

And again you show how naive you are. I have zero doubt Fury is 100% confident he beats Joshua, just like I have zero doubt Joshua is 100% confident he beats Fury. Thats just how sh^t is at this level of the game. The guys who lack confidence don't make it to where Joshua, Fury & Wilder or Ruiz have made it. Fights happening or not happening is business sh^t not confidence sh^t.

McCracken has always been limited. A boxer is always as good as his trainer. And once you know how limited Carl Froch was, then you’ll know who McCracken is.

I’d wager that AJ was actually a better boxer under Tony Simms than McCracken. McCracken only came back when he saw that AJ was about to become a superstar to benefit from the guy he guided from being a novice through the amateur ranks and saved from self-destruction. AJ had better head movement and was more fluid under Tony Simms.

AJ needs someone who can show him how to use his height advantage, fight on the back foot and also tidy up his defence. Once he fixes those three, no one can beat him in the Heavyweight division. But he’d beat Ruiz with the way he’s if he’s 100% prepared...Ruiz didn’t really do anything apart from that lucky punch to the temple. After that and due to how unfit he was before the fight, it was over.

how ?

AJ is different from those guys. He’ll most likely make at least £35million for the Ruiz rematch. After that and the tens of millions he’ll make if he fights Usyk and Dillian Whyte (that’s if Fury and Wilder refuse to fight him), coupled with exhibition fights they have been begging him for in China and Japan. Why would he want to stay in boxing to keep getting his head punched up for £2-3million fighting bums?

Unlike those who don’t know when to quit after spending all their money lavishly - he’s very frugal with his money and doesn’t buy luxury things apart from watches and those are mostly gifts. Even the cars he drives are part of endorsements (he has a Range and Jaguar). He doesn’t own Bentleys, RRs, Ferraris etc., like the rest of them despite making more money than them.

I'd argue any Matchroom card with Joshua on it is by default not a "bum card".

He’d rather retire than fight those bums. This is the last phase of his career and it’s either he fights the top guys or retire. Now if he has belts and they’re mandatories before a mega fight, he’d fight them. Apart from that, it’s not happening.

And again you are wrong which isn't surprising when your every stance is fanboyist or hopeful of me being a hater. I don't recall when I was onto Fury, although it was within his first 5 or so fights, but I'm well aware of what he's capable of once my stance of "if his head is on straight" which is gonna be key to his success. I trust him to be motivated for Joshua so that isn't in play, but I think its been why people think so negative of him still despite the excellence he's shown in various bigger fights.

Stating facts has absolutely nothing to do with fanboyism. Fury is also a limited fighter with no chin. Yes, he talks a good game with mind games. He’s flamboyant with his style. He knows how to use his height/reach with his jab and awkward style. And he has good upper body and head movement.

But the guy punches like a girl. He never commits once he knows you’re a puncher. Can’t fight on the inside and in midrange. And he’s average on the front foot.

Wilder would’ve beaten Fury if he had been more patient and focused on working on Fury’s shot body in the first half of the fight. If he had done that, he would’ve taken Fury’s head off. However, Wilder is a one-trick windmilling pony that came into the fight swinging aimlessly thus making Fury look better than he’s. AJ’s style against big guys is Fury’s kryptonite since Fury has no power to keep him honest and he’s faster than Fury.

And again you show how naive you are. I have zero doubt Fury is 100% confident he beats Joshua, just like I have zero doubt Joshua is 100% confident he beats Fury. Thats just how sh^t is at this level of the game. The guys who lack confidence don't make it to where Joshua, Fury & Wilder or Ruiz have made it. Fights happening or not happening is business sh^t not confidence sh^t.

If Fury is that confident about beating AJ, he won’t be running around saying he doesn’t think he and AJ will ever fight. Fury’s body is permanently damaged and he’s just in it for the money he can make before he retires to his ******* binge and come out of the closet as being gay/bisexual with his trainer as his partner (or can’t you see his coach is gay, lol).

Anyway, he’ll most likely end up fighting Josh when he’s about to retire and get as much money as he can from Brits, then ride into sunset.

AJ is different from those guys.

I've heard that with 99% of those guys to.

Why would he want to stay in boxing to keep getting his head punched up for £2-3million fighting bums?

I don't foresee Joshua being in the $2M-$3M range. Hell if he's only able to make $2M-$3M a fight I'd suggest he retire to cuz sh^t has gone horribly wrong.

Unlike those who don’t know when to quit after spending all their money lavishly - he’s very frugal with his money

I've heard that to & that is a good sign he doesn't stick around too long. I've just seen too many mfers stick around too long to have much trust in anyone hanging the gloves up at the right time. I'm pro Joshua or anyone else doing it doe.

He’d rather retire than fight those bums.

Thats the thing with boxing. Things can change on a dime. Maybe they don't for Joshua. Maybe they do doe.

Stating facts has absolutely nothing to do with fanboyism. Fury is also a limited fighter with no chin.

Limited?!?!!?! Wut. He's got skills & movement I've never seen in a HW let alone a mfer as big as him. And his ring IQ & sense of where things are at in a fight are in the top 1% of HW's around today or sh^t maybe ever as bold a statement as that is to make.

And a guy with no chin doesn't go 12 with Wilder. Thats a highly biased statement about him or you DKSAB.

But the guy punches like a girl. He never commits once he knows you’re a puncher. Can’t fight on the inside and in midrange. And he’s average on the front foot.

Why is a 7 foot mfer who a boxer looking to fight on the inside?!?!?! He can duck & dodge punches like he has ESP when people are on the inside with him doe & you are underplaying that.

Wilder would’ve beaten Fury if he had been more patient and focused on working on Fury’s shot body in the first half of the fight. If he had done that, he would’ve taken Fury’s head off. However, Wilder is a one-trick windmilling pony that came into the fight swinging aimlessly thus making Fury look better than he’s. AJ’s style against big guys is Fury’s kryptonite since Fury has no power to keep him honest and he’s faster than Fury.

I actually think Wilder's awknessness makes him a tougher opponent for Fury than Joshua is. Joshua is more predicatable.

If Fury is that confident about beating AJ, he won’t be running around saying he doesn’t think he and AJ will ever fight. Fury’s body is permanently damaged and he’s just in it for the money he can make before he retires to his ******* binge and come out of the closet as being gay/bisexual with his trainer as his partner (or can’t you see his coach is gay, lol).

Idk or care who's sucking ****s. Thats peoples own sh^t & don't got a thing to do with what happens in the ring.

Anyway, he’ll most likely end up fighting Josh when he’s about to retire and get as much money as he can from Brits, then ride into sunset.

I think Joshua is more likely to avoid Fury if he wins the titles back til ideally Fury gets into some jam again cuz the mfer is a lil off no argument from me with that. Then he'll fight a diminished Fury. I tend to think Fury fighting Wilder when there was no reason to fight him suggests Fury will fight anyone as long as he feels he's getting a fair shake & his value.

I never knew that's how some if not most in the U.K viewed McCracken as a trainer .
I do remember him from Froch and he had a pretty good career . But i guess that was just from Froch being such a strong guy .

[Jkp]

Joshua is robotic and even worse fighting on the inside. Wilder was too fast for him and Ruiz is also too fast + more skilled and a better inside fighter. Team Joshua pushing for a location where he can use his The****utic Use Exemption (TUE) to use PEDs.

Robot AJ, will need all the PEDs he can get to compete with the obese mexican.

The robot will need to be reprogrammed, the routine that causes him to Quit in the corner, will need to be deleted from his memory banks. As will the terrifying memories of being beat to submission by a chubby fat mexican.
