    Did Joshua use the wrong tactics in the ruiz rematch?

    Was he wrong to box intelligently, stick and move and win every round without breaking a sweat in what was considered a 50/50 fight (you know, cause he was mentally broken and couldn't fight against smaller guys with ruiz style) . Or should he have planted his feet in the middle of the ring, lowered his guard and done rock em sock robots with ruiz so some of the forum could cross their fingers that he got clipped again by a fluke punch?? Cause it seems like now all the fans (including past mayweather fans) don't count a win unless its a ko, someone needs to message boxrec and tell them apparently it wasn't a 'real' win

    No! He did exactly what a fighter with a weak chin is supposed to. Use the skills you have and limit your time in range of your opponent.

      Nah he looked good in his win. But considering how he easily knocked down ruiz in the first fight i feel the knockout was always there for him to get but it was like it wasnt even an option. He was content to box because he was solidly winning on the outside but lost the close exchanges but those exchanges were so few that almost every round went to Joshua. He looked good but think he could have looked better and made it seem like andy should never of been in there with him in the first place

        He did what he had to do. I don't think he had to as apprehensive as he was in that fight but they were clearly worried about getting hurt again.

              He left with the belts. That's really all that matters.

                Guy who hate him will say he "ran", guys who like him will say he boxed smartly. Truth is, he won, every round, with ease. The end. Moving on...

                  Lol, if you think he has a weak chin you should stick that Somali pirate Wilder in with Wlad and Whyte and see how he stands up when he gets chinned.

                  GTFOOH hater, you're just a spiteful hater who cannot give credit.

                  Wilder has been proven to be a hype job, a liar, a coward and an all around POS (kill a man, blame Breland, blame costume etc).

                  AJ conducts himself with class and dignity, and doesn't lie about offers and s**t, like Wilder continually does.

                  Hate Wilder, he's scum.

                    I think he has a weak chin because he does.
                    Who mention Wilder? This thread is about Joshua, try to keep up, read slowly if you need to.
                    Spiteful hater who won't give credit? My post was a positive note on how smart of a fight Joshua fought in the rematch.

                    The AJ/Wilder negotiation stuff has nothing but liars in it.


                    1776 was a long time ago. Get the fvccke over it already (who won that war anyway?).
