Ah beats all of them, shavers has a good punchers chance as shavers always had that, I imagine chuvalo looking like the takam fight but he might get stopped on cuts like he did vs Frazier or foreman.
If they all put on 50 pounds of blubber then they all have a shot lol Joshua got exposed badly today.
Ah sorry man my mistake. I actually like AJ but I couldn’t believe what I was watching today. It’s like he simply never recovered from the temple shot that preceded the first knockdown and Ruiz despite the weight is no big puncher. Interesting to see how he comes back because that was no fluke. He was dominated by Ruiz who was in control the entire fight (despite visiting the canvas) and exploited all of AJ’s flaws (as well as maybe discovering some new ones). Anyway shockers like these are why we love this sport.
I didn't want Joshua to lose. I still think he is a tremendous talent with tons of potential. Ruiz is no bum no matter what modernistas in 60 years say. You don't want to extrapolate too much from one fight. Perhaps he got tagged in the temple in a way he'll never get hit again. But tonight does show that he could have a shaky chin. He pretty much got Amir Khan bambi legs after that one punch. I think he is still a really good matchup for Fury. I see no way he beats Wilder unless he freezes the fight for 3 years. His stock dropped tremendously after tonight though.
For the record, I have always stated that Joshua was a Show Pony and nothing more. This is a great day for boxing!
With Ruiz or Joshua? A smaller guy with fast hands always has a chance. That would qualify Dempsey. Joshua's problem is that if he doesn't take you out in one of his rather unimaginative flurries, you have several rounds to tag him while he recovers. Waldo was simply too old to capitalize on his KD. Joshua is the definition of a SHOW PONY. Underwear models do not necessarily make great boxers. All Hail the NEW KING! Andy Ruiz, JR!
He really didn't seem in touch with the sweet science tonight. The cosmetics of good technique are there, but the fight IQ not so much. Fury is still king. He beat the man who beat the man. All the other belts are close to meaningless in my eyes.
All posts about AJ, compaing him to the greats,...even having him beating any of the names in the thread question,...were premature, rash and hasty to say the very least.
