      You would think Anthony Joshua turned into Peter Pan after reading it.



      He is Mr Motivator after all
      Every time I watch him I’m just reminded of his Rocky 4 speech at the end of the Wlad fight. I’m surprised he didn’t scream out for Adrian

        A little lost? lol It's one of the biggest upset in boxing history in my eyes, almost as big as Buster Douglas vs Iron Mike

          What? Nowhere close to Tyson vs Douglas upset. Joshua is nowhere near the stature of Tyson yet. Joshua was big in England only and little known outside of there, to other than true boxing fans. Tyson was well known and popular all over the world when he lost to Douglas. The closest upset to Tyson vs Douglas in the HW ranks is probably Lewis vs Rahman I.

            It’s a little loss to Ruiz but Wilder had a career changing loss to Fury 🤔

              I agree with the “little” loss comment. I mean, the same fat fook that beat him the first time came into the immediate rematch EVEN fatter and did ZERO.

              Whatever AJ’s reason (or excuse) is for losing the first fight stands in my book. Maybe he had an off-night after essentially doing two camps and having to fight a relatively unknown guy in Ruiz.

              I have zero respect for guys who choose to disrespect the sport by shocking the world and giving it all away 6 months later due to lack of discipline and seemingly not giving a **** about the fight as a whole. He showed zero dedication outside of simply showing up to the ring.

                Both Ruiz and Rahman as the same number underdog 20-1. But i agree that Lewis-Rahman 1 his one of the biggest upset too.

                I even think I read somewhere that Joshua was a 33-1 favorite against Ruiz on some websites

                People have always seen AJ larger than life, especially the British

                    Honestly who could have predicted a victory for Ruiz who was only a late substitute?

                      Absolutely, I agree there, everyone thought he would be a decent fight for a few rounds ..but AJ was the clear favorite.
