Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Boxes Past Andy Ruiz To Reclaim World Titles

[Boxer2019]

Ruiz does not deserve a trilogy fight, he came is **** condition, and admitted it, self trained, he looked great when he could catch AJ on the counter but that was few and far between, and he couldn't cut off the ring.
Credit to AJ, fought a very smart fight and could only do that due to his conditioning.
AJ should focus his attention on fighting the winner of Wilder vs Fury

100% Agreed!

I'm impressed with Joshua's stamina.

I was impressed Ruiz was able to stand for twelve rounds.

Fury and Wilder would have battered mini Mike and Holyfield. Stop being deluded with older eras. They batter Joshua also. Don't mention Joshua like he is in their league you ****** prat.

Tyson Fury cannot even beat up most cruiser weights, and Wilder drops rounds to 90% of the heavyweight he fights 'Both of them are effectively one trick pony's at elite level' this era is very poor. The classic eye test, is the simplest way to prove this etc

Joshua will still come out on top, but it is becoming very clear now that 'the level of this era from a technical/physical perspective is not very high'.

That's pathetic, Ruiz coming in overweight and didn't even train properly for the biggest fight of his life. Hopefully he gets back to basics and makes a strong comeback. What happened to all that talk of coming into the fight light and fast so as to be able to catch up to AJ? It looks like team Ruiz had a total break down as far as their training regimen.

Congratulations to Anthony Joshua who trained hard and stayed dedicated to his goal of regaining his championship belts.

100%

Pleasure over sacrifice and glory.I think Ruiz let pleasure and fame get to him.Its like Naseem Hamed once said:

its hard to get out of bed on a cold morning at 5am and train when you have silk bed sheets.

Ruiz obviously got lucky the first time around. In his defence, if the other guy is smarter, bigger, taller, faster, longer, what can he do?

[Freedef]

This fight was Pure garbage

It happens to boxers they bank a few million and their desire and focus vanish completely thats what happened to Ruiz he took care of his family and never has to work again.

Thats why i admire Canelo the dude is worth almost 500m and still has the desire to improve every fight.

[Don Pichardo]

Wilder-Ruiz cancelled. Wilder on suicide watch.

Joshua is not beating wilder. Not in this dimension anyway.

Credit to aj

All praises due, he lost the weight, moved around, capitalized off Ruiz complacency

WBO prez on twitter saying usyk is up for the belt, 180 days for AJ and usyk to make a deal

But pulev claiming IBF by May I believe

Either way titles being broken up in 2020

AJ will have to vacate

This sucks, we will never get a undisputed champ

AJ/Wilder has no buzz, shoot wilder fury 2 has little buzz as is

Division is not as exciting as people make it out to be, I think June changed a lot, for better or for worse

Don’t get me wrong I was happy for Ruiz, but I wish the rematch happened sooner, October etc, we needed answers sooner, waiting this long ******

I think wilder is still the man to beat in the division, fury is the actual best boxer out of all, and AJ is the golden boy cash cow

But it’s so broken up, at least fury and wilder are doing business together again, that helps in trying to decide who is the man

I don’t foresee AJ/matchroom/DAZN, having any mega fights in 2020 that generates buzz

Actions speak louder than words though and results change everything even most peoples opinions.

Joshua was impressive tonight but he needs to really be tested against the likes of Wilder/Fury before we can really judge his worth at the elite level?
