    Joshua needs to change trainer. I like and rate McCracken, but if Joshua followed his tactics, they were criminal. The reason why he needs a new trainer, is he pays McCracken nearly £2m per year and he is part time, and iften is not available when he is needed.

    But Joshua is deluded as he talking about adding to coaching team, instead of reducing it. He has far too many cooks.

    He needs 1 trainer who will work with him whenever he wants, whetever he wants for the money he pays McCracken.

    Who would be a good coach, that would possible do that for him ?

    Maybe:

    Shane McGuigan
    Mark Tibbs
    Billy Nelson
    Buddy McGirt

    I think it's clear to everybody other than his team and Eddie hearn that joshua is done at the top level now, to many demons of getting beat up by a fat man and then completely taught a boxing lesson by usyk have put irreversible doubt into his mind.

    I mean seriously I don't think he should be let anywhere near a boxing ring again until he is checked out because going into one of the his biggest fights of his life he asks clifton Mitchell what he thought before stepping through the ropes wtf is that all about ?????

    He lost all of his confidence after the first Ruiz fight,even though he won the second and won against Pulev something is just not right.Against Usyk he used a weird low risk-low reward strategy,that's not how you fight Usyk kind of guy,everyone knows that,AJ included,but his mentality is what is lacking.
    I hope he stays true to his words and make second fight an all out brawl,that's the only way for him to beat Usyk,and there is no shame in that,a boxer should work with what he has,not try to overcome what his opponent is best at..

    He doesn't look like he enjoys the part of it when he's actually fighting in the ring. He's skilled, powerful and a pretty smart guy- I admire him. When he's hit hard he just doesn't look like he wants to be there post-Wlad.

    Big chinny robot blew a gasket last night, no amount of Hearns junior narrative is going to put a bow on this one.

    The mental scars are accumulating. He loved the invincibility thing they tried to put out about him but then Rice Pudding Jr put an end to that. It’s unthinkable now to consider him as unbeatable. So many of them stand a good chance of beating him. He needs a rematch with Molina, then a Lucas Browne Tom Daley performance.

    Dave Allen, finally, is now truly only three bouts from Joshua.

    @Brixton Bomber aka @BEATDOWNZ in absolute ruins.

    That reminds me that I was having an exchange of views with @Brixton Bomber before my last ban.

    No idea why I was banned as there was no abuse and certainly no signal discussions.

    Going to be a lot of people banned this weekend if they are consistent per my ban due to suspected personal views on the quality of DAZN, Matchroom cards and Matchroom boxers.

    @Brixton Bomber get on here and back your man
