    He's looking for a way out of the Wlad fight, no better way than to throw your back out doing an act of kindness for a kid.:lol:

    No matter what you think about Joshua, you got to admit, he's a nice kid and it's hard not to like him.

    Seems really silly to me... There are better ways to retrieve a ball.

    I guess it's obviously just a publicity stunt. Just part of the job to fill seats. Can't fault him too much.

    I'm inclined to disagree.

    Fake

    Doesn't look like he's in the right position or straining at all. plus there's a gap between him and the car. He would need to be flat against it. Even a strongman would struggle with that

    Not saying its not possible but his posture is lying

    What does he do to get a cat out of tree? A series of one arm pullups?

    If you train with weights, do deadlifts etc., get a decent level of size and strength, it's not that hard to pick up one rear wheel of a van like that.
    I've done that when I was younger. Sure, people here with call BS on that but it's true. I could probably do it now but I'll stick with barbells every 10 days or so, thanks.
    It's also something I wouldn't expect a professional athlete to engage in. It's silly whoever you are.
    Obviously a publicity stunt.
    I do wonder about AJ sometimes, I wonder if he'd planning a long-term career in marketing, strength and fitness, he seems very much into the kind of things bodybuilders/lifters and general fitness fanatics find impressive. He's obviously no slouch at boxing but I guess we'll find out how much he wants it of he ever loses.
