This was the first thing that move through my mind. I think it will be smart for him to do it. He was obviously on decline even in the Jennings fight, but the rest he took may help him. He needs a good team with coach, that he is willing to listen to him. A coach that is good tactical and is the boss, like Emanuel Steward was. I was strongly against comeback, but now i think he have to do it 100% without a doubt.
Yes, I had the same thought.... I just don't know what AJ was doing tonight...he looked horrible. He should have imposed his size, used the jab to keep Ruiz away...instead, he basically just let Ruiz come in and do whatever he wanted...and then the stoppage, it was like AJ didn't even want to fight...you could see it in his eyes. With that said, give Ruiz credit, he did what he had to do, so props to him. Styles make fights though...Wlad knows how to fight Ruiz and I think he could come back without a single tuneup...just 1 training camp...and beat Ruiz.
Wladimir knows how to jab... especially against shorter fighters like Ruiz... Klitschko used to throw 40-50 jabs a round.... Ruiz wouldn't even get close to him. Joshua doesn't know how to jab.
Absolutely not. Klitschko knows how to play against "small" guys. Klitschko have the jab(decline it a lot, you can see that even in Pulev fight) and he won`t be moveless like Joshua. He will be recharged with a hunger and motivation. I don`t see how Ruiz Jr. can beat Klitschko, even old Klitschko. Klitschko ain`t Joshua. He will hit and move, if Ruiz come close Klitschko will tie him up. As i give respect to Ruiz, he is nothing special. Just idi**** mistakes from Joshua. When you are the bigger and taller guy you should fight tall. You should not go in exchanges like Joshua did with shorter guy, and he should have just hit and move or just fight from distance. Shorter guyс are designed to fight in close range, because they will have shorter hands and it`s easier to land punches in close distance, unlike the big guys. Wilder and Klitschko to my eyes will beat Ruiz easily. Styles make fights.
Wlad needs to stay retired. He doesn’t need the money and he was able to leave boxing with his health in one piece, which is a miracle in itself considering how long his boxing career was.
As i said i was thinking the same. But if he still have what it takes, he needs to come back and become the HW Champion once again. Mark my words - Joshua won`t be the same again. He will be devastated and scared. Also a big punch that hurt him will send him in panic mode now. I do think he take this fight lightly and definitely have a bad night, but after that lose he won`t be the same. I don`t see how a return could be a bad move for Klitschko right now. If he takes the right nods and with a solid prep and coach in his team he can still beat most of the guys arround. There isn`t Emanuel Steward out there, so Joshua will be in a world of trouble after that loss. He will be more scared and goes panic mode after get hit hard. Also he will doubt himself even more now. Wladimir needs to comeback and sit on the throne once again.
