It was a good boxing performance against an out of shape 283lb guy who barely threw punches and you compare him to Ali ??

Joshua moved well but a Ali type of dancing, I think that's a little fetched. He deserves credit for his performance though. He should have won the first fight against Ruiz but he just seemed out of it. Glad he got his titles back.

If you can’t see that Ruiz barely threw punches because he was in front of a moving target then u don’t know boxing or have any sense!

I didn't have an issue with how he fought, if someone stops you it's understandable to be low risk in the rematch, but it was basic rather than highly skilled, and it's impossible to claim that AJ's stock as a fighter is as high now as it was this time last year
Fair point. Although what confuses me the most is for the past year all I’ve seen is people call aj robotic and when he shows he’s not he gets crucified for it.
I feel like the fact he has shown he has more strings to his bow should elevate his stock but that loss to Ruiz still haunts him especially after how poor Ruiz was in the rematch
