Anthony Joshua - A disgrace to the superior physique?

Proof? Only fools use that word, that’s not a word that is uttered by scientists, philosophers etc.

If Joshua had the same career and experience as Ruiz then you might have a weak argument for it. Physical dominance decreases the need to develop nuanced skills, resilience to adversity etc. That doesn’t mean that being physically superior isn’t superior with all things being equal. That’s really quite an absurd argument to make. If people think they can become obese and become heavyweight champion then they’re living on another planet. Ruiz is an obvious anomaly.

 

It wasn't a pretty sight seeing the bodybuilder Joshua staggering about like a drunk. Ruiz ragdolled him all over the ring, and was manhandled like he was nothing.

 

But he does not have the footwork and jab of wlad

 

The Jab can be worked on, likewise the footwork can improve if given the correct training regime.

 

It's almost as if people forget Big (Fat) George Foreman of the 90s.

 

I guess then he’s all good,he just needs to improve jab, footwork, stamina, chin, left hook and straight right . He’ll be perfect fighter by age of 52.

 

What is clank? For me AJ 's body consists of numerous areas of muscle damage and underdevelopment, to the untrained eye he gives the illusion of an Adonis. You can see the dips in his deltoids and that the muscle has not reached it's full development. Compare and contrast the deltoids of Jack Johnson with AJ, JJ a fighter who could fight for at least 20 rounds! Further, this damage from my observations is caused by weight training and heavy pad work.

 

Chins don't care about muscles.

 

Sumo wrestler have less fat than you think in proportion to muscle mass I think Ruiz is of similar body type.

 

Couldn't agree more, that just isn't his style.

 

too muscular to maintain fitness.

 

Joshua more or less fell apart after the first knockdown, which seemed to shake something loose in him. I won't go so far as to call it lucky, but the effect it had was certainly fluky given how many big shots Joshua has taken before and recovered from.

For the rematch all he needs to do is focus on boxing behind the jab, picking his shots and not getting too reckless if he gets Ruiz hurt. That's well within his capacity.

Ruiz is dangerous if you trade with him, but rapidly loses effectiveness if you keep him at arm's reach and remain sharp in your senses.

 

More par for the course. Very few of the muscle-bound guys can actually fight.
