Comments Thread For: Barry McGuigan: Joshua Was Like Muhammad Ali Moving Like That

[Liondw]

He didn't move smoothly like Ali, Holmes or Lewis, but you don't have to against an opponent who was probably near 300 lbs in there.

I will attribute Barry's comment to late side effects from past concussions.

Not sure why, but it seems Ruiz intentionally allowed himself to blow up. He lost weight after the fight with pics and video showing the trimmer version. Then...boom 283.

But who was photoshop?

He was the lineal world featherweight champion. He's in the HOF.

Ahhhhh, CTE then. Makes sense.

Joshua’s movement was great for 238lb heavyweight , very impressed the way he kept on his toes , his stamina was spot on and tell me one heavyweight who has moved like this in this era.
None , fury moves like a nervous reck and could not punch a hole in rice pudding.
Ali was unique and no one was as quick as him but he was only 215lb when he was moving like that ...Joshua is 20lb heavier also

Joshua did move very well for a heavyweight. Not Ali level yet tho!

This about sums it up. Well put.

AJ is a diva, used to adulation, the big show. He was humiliated and now he's reduced to his ABC's, his twosies, stick and move on a fat man. He looked scared, Ali my ass.

i can see the reason why there's a comparison to ali, but not really. ali was an unbelievable floater and stinger.
