Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua: Ruiz Loss "Highlighted Everything I'd Been Concerned About"

[Sctrojan]

Joshua wasn't supposed to be a defensive genius. He was supposed to be an awesome offensive heavyweight.

Obviously Ruiz changed that perception.

And he still is...but to give up your advantages or fight in a style that gives your opponent the advantage is ridiculous,especially to a fighter with faster hands,solid punch and who's already knocked you out once?? Great fighters dont make every damn excuse in the book like that clown wilder...they adapt, put their pride aside and get the win by any means/style/strategy...you as a Mayweather fan should understand this isnt rock em sock em. He certainly will not implement the same style against pulev or fury and I'm willing to beat that if him and fury ever share the ring that Joshua comes out on top.

Sounds like a man who isn't sure of himself / doubts himself

This isn’t really true at all. Only Szpilka and Stiverne we’re actual knockouts in title fights of Wilder . Arreola quit on his stool , The ref jumped in while Washington was still fighting back and Breazeale got up as well. The fallacy that Wilder has better knockout fights is a myth easily proven wrong.

AJs stoppage of Povetkin is far more impressive in itself then any Wilder win .

The fights you are referring to are ones where the guys he’s landing on are on there way out ,.
Takam for example has blood in both eyes and his legs were going ,any rational person can see why the fight was stopped .

AJ has far more abilities to actually hurt you faster then Wilder can he just doesn’t swing for the fences it’s a reason Fury is going to be in major trouble here ,AJ is going to work behind an actual jab and amount an offense Fury won’t handle .

Joshua’s jab and patterns he fights in are too predictable for Fury

Obviously we all have our opinions until the fight happens but I think AJ fans are quickly going to have it dawn upon them when they see Fury is a far superior boxer when the bell goes.

I picked Fury to beat both Wilder and Wlad, and I’m even more confident he beats AJ. With the Wlad fight my only apprehension was that Fury had never been at that level, but stylistically i knew Fury was all wrong for a guy that predictable.. My only slight apprehension with Wilder wasn’t even his power per se, it’s that he’s not that textbook, and it can work in your favour against skilled fighters in a way.

With AJ, he’s so basic and textbook that I see absolutely no way he can box with Fury and not look like a stiff robot. The only prayer AJ has is to try to take it to Fury in round one and catch him cold.

Once fury has a read on AJ which won’t take long at all, it’ll be game over. Either cruise to a points win or stop him if he wants.

Fury will be one of Joshuas easiest fights . The bookies are going to make a killing with everyone thinking Fury will out box AJ and maintain center ring control, won’t happen . You guys are getting duped hard in here by simple talking ,it’s called brain washing . Ha

Another foolish post here.

Words? Real fight fans know words don't attribute to a scorecard, what matters is what takes place in the ring.

I sure hope you continue to be confident in AJ beating Fury, will be fun to read your takes after that fight.

I thought they did that to benefit Ruiz??? Lol

Wow.

Please re read your own post and then explain how that makes sense.

I thought he was suffering from some unknown medical condition?

Hearn and AJ can't even keep their stories straight.

Well said. Great post.

Joshua will beat Fury square and simple if Fury does not fight dirty

I wish Joshua would've kept it just as real as to why he avoided Wilder! He also had all four belts while avoiding Wilder, and wouldve been laid out flatter had Wilder been given the chance to blast him! Lennox, SR Leonard, Fury and discerning minds alike all saw beyond Joshua's commercial fluff and commercial bravado.....

Joshua will always be seen as a level below Wilder (in the fight game), and its all because of Barry (most likely being the one) who planted the seeds of doubt that grew strong in Eddie and Joshuas 'promotion' oriented minds......nothing at all surprising about this article.....Joshuas team AVOIDED Wilder, and had their ever lively fan girl crew thinking otherwise....

I was joking. Of course they did it for AJ.
