    Survivor guilt is very real. Combine that w sudden loss of friends...makes one question a lot.

    He was rated as a Top 10 contender by many outlets and even favored over AJ by some of his haters,. It doesn't take an AJ fan to lay out the facts that you can check for yourself, lol. Nobody claimed he was a world beater. At least I don't think so, lol.

    He's a brainless AJ hater. He knows he'll get demolished by any poster in a debate about AJ

    He suffered a major car accident in which 2 of his friends died. Its understandable to take a break

    I still think Joshua fights Fury this year

    I honestly don't give a ****. But if you are going to cry unless you get a name, would be Ruiz Jr. in the rematch.

    Wow, a 285 pound untrained Ruiz. It's been a quiet decade.
