Big difference.
AJ was by far the less damaged fighter and the fight was stopped.
If you say AJ quit then so did Wilder .

He went down on his knee, with a smile on his face, with a chubby Mexican standing over him.

In a broad sense he's not wrong. Wilder had mentally quit and wanted out. He was mad at his corner after the fact. But in the moment he was ready to go. I don't fault him or any fighter for it. Not when you take a beating like that. Your body and mind will eventually quit on you no matter what the armchair tough guys say.
Holmes is clearly deluded by his nostalgia though. Ali and Frazier and Norton and Holmes himself would have reacted the exact same way.

He quit in the same way AJ did Vs Ruiz in that he wasn't really fighting back just laying on the ropes throwing the odd half hearted shot, I don't count it as true quittage I just think he knew he was finished

Originally posted by New England View Postlarry holmes was a great, great fighter, but he's delusional. in a fairly recent interview he flat out said he could still beat these guys.
wilder did the opposite of quit. he did his best and he lost to a better fighter. took a hell of a beating, too. he will not be the same fighter or man.
I agree though, he didn't quit.Last edited by Weebler I; 03-03-2020, 12:08 AM.

Joshua has mad heart
Against Ruiz he had no other choice, he had to fight him again and the thing is he didn't fight him, he trained to run away from him. He knew and we all knew Ruiz didn't care about the fight, he ate a fkn pizza the night before the fight. And when you look at it, the best option was to fight Ruiz again. Would you rather fight a fat ruiz or fight someone like Fury or Wilder? Which option would give you the easiest fight?
And now it's Pulev, the guy no one cares about, the guy who's God knows how old. I know Ortiz is probably older but even he would of been a harder fight for Joshua.
