    No ring IQ
    No clue
    No independent thinking
    No game plan

    As soon as Joshua develops a better jab his game improves another 50%

    People getting carried away with the win. Hero,s performance from ruiz...deserves all the plaudits hes getting. But lets be honest it wasnt exactly mckrackens fault. The guys guided joshua to a lot of good wind suddenly hes no good cause of one defeat. Mckracken was telling him the right tactics. Joshuas big mistake was jumping in too early going for the kill. Gets caught in thr exchange and doesnt recover from it. Mckracken cant take the blame for that...its just one of them things. Sometimes no ones to blame....ruiz just fought a hell of a fight. Mckrackens still a good coach thats done well for joshua.

    In a sense yeah.

    But why is AJ still unable to control a fight with a jab? He's 6'5 fighting a 260 pound Mexican who's 6 inches shorter than him. Those were the kind of fights Klitchko would win by the dozen without breaking sweat.

    Joshua years ago said he wanted to do a Larry Homes and win fight after fight with that jab, but it's not materialised.

    His advice to his boxer "Jab and move around" was poor. Did he not realize the skills and abilities of his fighter? AJ has never been a fluent mover in the ring.

    I dont even rank McCracken as one of the top british trainers, he trained 2 guy's with natural ability in Carl Froch (world amateur bronze medalist) and Joshua(World amateur silver medalist and Olympic champ) who lots of trainers could have made a world champ. I rank Joe Gallagher and the late Oliver Harrison much higher. I think Joshua would benefit leaving his home comforts behind and heading to the US, and out of the great trainers there, I think he would benefit training under Floyd Mayweather sr he would sharpen his defense and work on hi speed and timing.

    They both were clueless. It defeats the point of giving good advice if the trainer is clueless when the guy he's training isn't capable of executing said advice. What good is a trainer if he cannot even understand that or even see it?

    He should have told him to move his head after punching and he didn`t address the body shots that caused AJ so much trouble, it`s like he couldn`t see what was happening in front of him, he completely underestimated how Ruiz was fighting.

    Boxing physique does not like AJ and is obsessed with fighters considered legends in MMA and boxing like Conor McGregor and Manny Pac, he even thought Conor was going to beat Floyd!

    De la Hoya say he's the best trainer he's worked with, thats good praise. But no about that I rate loads of trainers just who you think is right.

    I dont think you understand the mechanics of a solid jab by a much longer man. Andy shouldn't have been close enough to counter ****.

    Yeah I do, long jab would mess Ruiz up, but he cant handle someone that wants to throw when he does either, under fire he hadn't a clue, he needs more than just a jab for Ruiz and I don't think hes got it

    lol, you dopes think a long jab is all it takes? If that were truly the case, a guy like Ruiz would have never made it to 33-1.

    Joshua should be able to jab Ruiz face off all night at the right distance and Andy wouldn't physically be at a position to reach him. Joshua messed up by being in close quarters all the time which is obviously Andy's punching range.

    Just pump the jab. Full extension. Literally keeping Ruiz at the end of it. Ruiz would be inches out of range.

    It was when joshua kept getting in close trying to brawl and throw hooks where he kept getting clocked.

    If Andy makes a charge forward, AJ should just move away and pump the jab some more or at the very least, if Andy does get through then tie him up.
    Absolutely no inside fighting with Ruiz.
    Tie him up until the ref breaks.

    The 1-2 and then out of there too, over and over. Andy wont take them bombs for long if they kept connecting
