So where does AJ rank in the pantheon of shameful glass?

Ruiz would have knocked Audley out in the 3rd with the first hook he hurt AJ with, no way could Audley have come back against Wlad or taken the left that wobbled AJ from Dillian Whyte.

 

I`ve seen weaker shots that have knocked heavyweight champs out and the body shots that hit AJ were severe.

 

Ruiz was brilliant against AJ.

 

Extremely poor.......zero recup abiliites and ultimately poor mental conditioning.......when the going got tough he quit, the body could have gone on but the mind said no mas.....a good chin means that you go out on your shield...AJ aint got in him.

 

I don't know where this chin obsession comes from. It was a punch to the top of the head that did AJ in. So unless AJ's chin is at the top of his head, if anything about AJ is made of glass it's his skull.

 

I used to think he had quite a good chin and good recuperative ability based off the Klitscho fight,something was definately amiss this time around.

 

The great Brtish hope turned out to be BRITtle.

 

His chin's alright. He just has terrible recuperative abilities.

 

I know it's a cliche but he really reminds me a lot of Bruno, the way he'd take a shot, get buzzed, and just lose all his steam. Actually his chin's probably a bit worse than Bruno's (who could really take some hellacious shots and still remain standing), although if you give him a few rounds to recover he seems to come back in a big way, unlike Bruno, who'd just wind down like a clockwork soldier. Unfortunately Ruiz didn't give him that time.

 

Klitshko fight didn't prove much, Klitshko let him off the hook because of his own glass chin, safety first approach and Klitshko was also too old to pull the trigger, even then AJ need 5 rounds to get his second wind. Against a young fresher and game fighter, that was never going to happen.

 

AJ got up all 4 times he was put down so his chin is not terrible. In fact had he been clipped on the jaw rather than temple his chances of surviving would be better

 

105-5 amateur record

32-1 record - should be undefeated

Blasted out aj with complete ease

Does not use peds

Is an alpha male that doesn’t give a f.uck about what people think of his fat body and short stature.

Aj an Instagram beta-male instagram model. Ruiz is a real man.

The type who would stop on the motorway and fix your broken down car.

Joshua wouldn’t want his fur coats getting a mark on them. STAY HUMBLE YO

 

And he gets hit to easily with left hooks. But since he can bang himself, many are afraid to stand in the pocket and/or exchange with him.

 

This. To be fair to Joshua his problem isn’t so much his chin, but that he doesn’t roll with the punches and takes punches flush and he tends to get hit standing square. In his fight with Wlad Joshua stood square and stationary one too many times and Wlad dropped him.

Joshua also badly needs to start moving his head, since Ruiz just started letting his hands go, since he knew Joshua’s head was always going to be in the same spot.

 

This. Joshua needs to stay around 235-240, since he’s slow as molasses and gassed out too easily at 245+.
