False Abel Sanchez didn’t hold 1 round of mitts for Andy. He came to legendz after that and got a strength and conditioning coach, dietician, and two boxing coaches that gave him their attention. You saying he was in better shape for Parker is stupid. Look at his head, chest, and shoulders. Andy put in serious work from the Parker fight till now. Anybody who knew Andy or was around Andy knew he was gonna beat Joshua and that that was no fluke. Styles make fights.
Ruiz doesn't have enough powder in the kegs to stop Parker and once Parker found that out in the first fight he went to work and got the win.. Ruiz's biggest problem is going to be his power and Parker proved that Ruiz can be outboxed.. Ruiz's other problem now is he is in the spotlight so everybody will be looking at him and finding weaknesses they can exploit (as he did with AJ), he is "The Man" now so everyone will be studying him... Out of interest given you're normally pretty unbiased what do you think happened in the AJ - Ruiz fight?? This forum confuses me cause people on one hand say Ruiz is this unbeatable boxing God then in their next breath say AJ was exposed as a David Price type bum...
Ruiz is the exact worst nightmare for AJ. Fast hands, short and elusive, great chin. But AJ can come back from this. Slim down like he did for Parker. Don't get into exchanges. Fight cautious. Nail Ruiz late. The rematch is 50 / 50. Either could take it. I can see a decision for Joshua - especially in the UK.
Andy is definitely better now. He's the champ! He's now more experienced obviously from when he fought Joe. I got nothing bad to say about the champ that went very close with Joe, practically even almost. Andy does look better and its that training.
How so? 5 fights since 2016 and wins over Fury (Budget edition), Flores and Cojanu yet lost each time he stepped up? I'm not saying he hasn't by the way, but am genuinely interested in how you see his improvement
He's more experienced but in terms of improvements in the boxing side of things - I don't see much improvement since the Ruiz fight either. Hate to say it.
the biggest diff is gonna be the fact that Andy is the house fighter now.Joe knows he can’t just survive and get a dec. he’s gonna have to fight. We will see how bad he wants to win.
Your massivly biased to be fair Its great your such a fan but there is no real evidence to all your claims If Parker ever gets back to the top i wont begrudge him A good guy who lives a good life I just dont see it however
Unfortunately Parker is washed up. He couldn't even beat a crude Dillian Whyte. Since that surgery he's not the same explosive fighter. Doesn't hit hard anymore and that speed is gone. Ruiz would beat him much more easily and convincingly this time around, probably even by stoppage.
