    Fair enough. But don't forget Ruiz is often mistaken for just a fat guy who got lucky. He's an accomplished boxer. I don't see Joshua breaking down Ruiz; he's never been that good a boxer (I'm talking about AJ here) but he can get a KO.

    This is a big crossroads fight for AJ. He can pull a Lennox Lewis and come back from a KO, or just become another Frank Bruno...good but not great.

    We'll see. I'm really looking forward to this bout!
    I think he will systematically break Andy Ruiz Junior down 'Ruiz will most likely be stopped on his feet'. There is one attribute which Joshua has which is of a very high level? 'His meticulous approach to WANTING to improve' I can remember the way Carl Froch used to keep a black book, and record all of his training sessions' It is this kind of intensity that Joshua brings 365 days per year, for what he lacks in natural ability 'He in some ways makes up for it in his approach'.

    It most certainly is a crossroads fight for Anthony Joshua,but as you have pointed out? Anthony Joshua may have reached his ceiling in terms of ability and adaptability.

    4 minute 50 second mark etc 'The black book'.

      Out of the top guys, def Amir khan. It's not just about the things he does wrong. Normally boxers improve in terms of their ring iq as they become veterans. amir should know every trick in the book, yet he still boxes the same basic style like he did was Samuel Vargas.

        Sometimes a fighter knows what to do, but can not do it... That does not mean he has a low boxing IQ. It's hard to determine sometimes if a fighter is doing things because he doesn't understand how to adjust, or if its because he knows how to adjust but doesn't want to go down that dark path.

        This sport isn't for everyone. And it isn't for everyone on this forum either.

          Amir Khan has all the physical tools, but is totally lost in there.

          Chavez Jr.

          And yet his ring IQ was high enough to completely school Canelo and outwitted him 11 rounds to 1

            Which fighters do you think are the absolute ******est, least self-aware in the ring today?
            Adrein Broner ik he retired this year but yea when combinations come to him he has no answer. He used his speed size and power to make thru the ranks but when it came to dealing with advertisity in live bodys he has no answer other than shell up and go fully defensive for 12rds and occasionally throw a few counters.

            Wilder love him big fan but yea his only solution is ko his boxing skills are very limited he dosent go to body to wear opponents down nor does he block or parry shots at him.
            He also abandons his jab at times when just trying to land 1 shot a when he could use to better his offense.

            Eubank jr like Broner speed and power if he doesn't have that advantage over you he can't adapt speed power are really his main weapons once you take it away with good boxing counters and defense he's lost.

            Dont get me started on Chavez jr !!!!!

              Khan. He was a very good boxer with good power, but he would throw 4-5 when he should of stuck to 2-3. Even in the Garcia fight where he was killing him he could not see that Garcia figured out he needed to punch WITH Khan. It was obvious what Garcia was trying to do, but Khan kept giving him the chance and paid for it. If Khan had a higher boxing IQ he really could have been a great fighter. He was still good, but he could have been better. His bad chin was never going away, and it would have hurt him vs the very best but he could have hid it much better. Another is Norris and this kills me because I love Terry's ability's, and heart, but he ****** when he should have boxed.
