    What dream land or drugs are you on ?

    The Bodybuilder has never ever fought a jab and grab run style, ever in his Pro career, his stamina will not allow it and his IQ is at House mouse level so another negative to pull it off.......he will do what he always does, trade up close , gas out and his glass chin and mind will be shattered again.

    Going with AJ . He has that focus, he stays hungry and he stays humble. :deal:

    Actually - AJ did fight a "jab and run" style - against Parker.

    Got him the win...

    True, and Parker is underrated (as much now as Ruiz was previously) and is more or less on a level with El Gordo, as indicated by their h2h meeting.

    The difference is that Ruiz has shown the willingness to walk Joshua down and eat his best stuff to land his own, something in which Parker just didn't have much interest or motivation to do.

    Parker back peddled for most of that fight , AJ didn't run anywhere.

    Perhaps , AJ a little less though which is why he got the win.

    Yeah. It's bizarre. It's like no one on this site has ever heard of Buster Douglas!!

    Buster Douglas had one great night.

    Ruiz has had quite a few of them - against these tall guys.

    Debatable at best. There is a reason everyone thought Joshua would beat him easily the first time around.

    I really cannot believe how absurdly overrated Ruiz has become by some on this site. Boxing fans are some of the biggest bandwagon jumpers around!

    You will see. The proper order of things will be restored by this rematch. There are LEVELS in this sport, and Joshua is A level, while Ruiz is B level.

    You know myself @IntentionalButt and @Rumsfeld are some of those people right? And no overrating or bandwagon jumping involved. And I'm pretty sure @Serge @McGrain and @kirk are with us as well. We aren't exactly silly easily misled casuals. I think you need to put a little more thought into this one. You do realize someone administering a systematic dismantling which gradually evolved into a soul taking beatdown isn't a lucky punch or a fluke right? Or are you just being the devil's advocate here?

    If AJ fights a similar fight to the Povetkin fight I think a mid round stoppage win for him. He wasnt mentally right for the last fight and this game, like any sport, is almost as much mental as it is physical.
