    He's doing the right thing.

    He is trying to find a proper trainer who will teach him what he does wrong and right.

    Garcia was actually a decent trainer for him but he should have taken a tune up fight before Usyk to test what they worked on. It took Lennox Lewis a few fights with Emanuel Steward to get comfortable with a new style and it did wonders for him late on.

    Joe Joyce should be calling the fraud out and hounding him for a fight. Watch him run away and lose face. Too nice a guy big JJ, take a leaf out people like Haye's book on self promotion.

    Joshua needs a break away for boxing simple as that,have a rest and then decide what hrs going to do and even if he still wants to fight. Once again like with Matchroom he is now tied into a mega contract with dazn and all the pressure that goes with it .

    He doesn't need a trainer, he needs a psychologist.

    Wasn't Roy Jones Jr going to take AJ under his wing?

    Weird move, I thought Garcia did him a lot of good. AJ went from winning 2 rounds against Usyk to making it a competitive fight for the most part and giving Usyk the worst moment of his career. I’d say if he sticks with Garcia he’d still do enough to stay at the top 3-5, which isn’t bad at all.

    I'm happy with Joe Joyce being Joe Joyce. He's let his fighting do the talking for him so far and he will get a shot at a title next year I presume.

    Too late, buddy. No trainer is going to be able to help you to fight like a big man in the ring.
    Big for nothing, no killer instinct, doesn’t know how to utilize his size to his advantage, and mentally weak.

    Not sure about that. Will be two fights minimum between Fury and Usyk and maybe three. If that happens he should be getting into Joshua's face for a fight.

    You can’t train a Chin. AJ is a Glass Jawed fighter with little to no Ring IQ and no heart. None. Eddie Futch and Ray Arcel wouldn’t be able to fix that.

    It's a real shame we're in a day when having some losses automatically = terrible fighter. Back in the day, you weren't considered very seasoned unless you had some losses. But AJ, like most of the top HW fighters since Wlad, is no Spring chicken himself and needs to keep improving on a quick, steady basis.

    AJ needs to go all-out and dedicate himself to being as good as he can. I hope he finds a good trainer!

    The kneejerk reactions and the level of criticism AJ gets for simply trying to find the best trainer for him is actually comical to see lol.
