    This is Why Anthony Joshua is smarter than a lot of boxing fans think, this film study points out AJ`s smart ring IQ compared to his image of being a plodding bodybuilder, people have said AJ is another Bruno but is he smarter in the ring?

    He's smarter now.... because Wlad and Andy Ruiz made him smarter.

    The adjustments he made for the Rice Pudding Jr rematch were remarkable. How he figured them out I'll never know. He must be some sort of genius.

    Who knew that circling the ring and boxing from distance against a short, morbidly obese man with tiny arms would be effective?

    Smart enough to take anabolics and not get caught. The rematch though was similar to how he fought Parker. It wasn't something that was improved in his training. He was always capable of outboxing Ruiz at a higher weight. He came in concussed and then Ruiz concussed him further in the 3rd round, and picked him apart.

    Yes he is even smarter now and he was pretty smart before. An athlete who takes up boxing late at age 18 who goes on to the Silver medal at the World Championships and Gold medal at the Olympics is a quick study learner and who goes on to win his first world title in about his 15tg professional fight way ahead of schedule is a smart guy. After what happened with Andy Ruiz who I actually cautioned against as Ruiz was a better technical fighter to come back and outbox him the way he did shows smarts and further learning. The way he dissected and destroyed Pulev was even better. Get ready for the masterclass when he knockouts Luke Tyson Fury the Gypsy King.

    Has to be said, Joshua's Olympic pedigree is highly suspect. Should have been out of the tournament in the first round. Cuba's Erislandy Lara was much better.

    He certainly did lose to Savon. Daylight robbery in.... London.

    He`s much better now and would have destroyed Savon in the pros.

    You don't score an amateur boxing bout based on who is going to be better X years into the future and how a professional matchup would pan out.

    Savon was robbed.

    He is old uncles beater in eddie backyards with eddie clauses not a world champ.

    World champions for me still are Ruiz and Fury.
    Ofc Eddie with clauses is UNDISPUTED and will be.

    Ruiz was clearly out-boxed in the rematch, he`s a counter puncher who needs you to come towards him.

    He'll soon run out of smarts vs Fury.
