It is true but trading with ruiz was the reason aj got beat fury would do the same thing so for him to call it a joke take a look at the Wallin vs fury fight that was a joke
Comments Thread For: Arum: Joshua's Performance Against Ruiz 'Was A Joke'

I have to agree with Arum on this one, Joshua trained like a mad man to lose the weight so he could run all night, you could tell he was so scared to get hit and grabbed straight away. He should never go anywhere near Fury or Wilder which we know he won't that's why he chose that bum Pulev, but yea the performance was catastrophic to say the least.Comment

andy isnt a world class fighter. He never was and he never will be. He got his shot as a late replacement and won. He has no special abilities. He cant even cut off the ring. He did all he can do. Hes only fought low level competition. Had he not caught AJ with the "punch from the gods" in the first fight we probably wouldnt even be talking about Andy today. Andy is a non factor in the HW division.Comment

The fight was seen as 50-50 going in. Just look back at the predictionsComment

Top Rank were happy to paint Ruiz as a monster, and shouting that they were the people who knew it first, before the rematch tho...
Hindsight is 20/20, so now everyone is dumping on Ruiz again, and making out Joshua is a joke for not KO'ing the obese man.
Joshua rightly trained to make use of all his physical advantages, and did the right thing as his gas tank looked ***** due to all that muscle... What was he meant to do? Alter the plan he'd just spent 12 weeks mastering, all cause Ruiz was heavier..!?
Everyone's a hater unless they're making money off you in boxing.Comment

Exactly, and if AJ had lost trying to stand and trade then everyone on this board would be criticizing him for it.Comment

It was a good performance. The first time I saw AJ and thought he might be a threat to Wilder or Fury.
Just because Fury can move better than Joshua doesn't mean he can't get clipped. His last few fights he's won most rounds but also picked up the most damage. Joshua's not emotional like Wilder nor is he out of depth like Wallin. If Josh gets Fury down I reckon that's Fury done.Comment

So Fury beats Wilder, and Joshua gets exposed by a 20-1 underdog. Joshua then beats that 20-1 underdog in arguably the most timid fashion he possibly could in a rematch, and he's #1 without facing Fury? Doesn't work that way bucko. Joshua is a bum until he gets the balls to fight The Gypsy King, or at least deal with his leftovers named WilderComment

Wilder put Fury down with what everyone thought was a kill shot, and then Fury got up and won the rest of the round. That dude is not normal.Comment
