Anthony Joshua looking for a new trainer

Good grief.... What exactly is wrong with this?? Sounds like a bunch of 10yo's whining....

 

I have always said AJ is a heavyweight Amir Khan.

 

Khan had heart.

 

Don't think the new trainer will do the trick, he should start looking for a new chin.

 

I am going to stick up for AJ a bit. He was the Olympic champion who turned pro and was a beast on his way to becoming world champion. This inflated his ego to obscene heights, not helped by Hearn I imagine. In his mind he was going to be the best ever, unbeatable, a machine. In reality, he had not been truly tested by the best. His first loss he put down as a freak loss, his second loss he put down to his trainer. He had been spoon fed he was TBE and he couldn’t and wasn’t prepared to be anything less than that. That’s why the second loss to Usyk caused such a meltdown, it’s dawning on him he is not the greatest boxer of his era and he cannot accept it. Instead of accepting his level and limitations, he is determined to look for a reason to what has gone wrong. The problem is no one will coach the areas he needs to be the best. The small credit I give him, although misguided, is that he wants to be the best and searches for the answers. People knock him, but the guy lives and breathes boxing. Although a slightly odd character, he has tried to be a positive influence on the sport. He will not be the goat ,but I hope he can come to terms with a decent career and give the best account of himself in his remaining fights. He should drop the fake persona, stop trying to reinvent his boxing skills, and go and put pressure on his opponents and aim to take them out early. Win, lose or draw, it has to be better than striving to be something you’re not. Unfortunately, under Hearns guidance, he will fanny away the end of his career.

 

Carl Froch didn't leave McCracken when he took a loss. Now he's in the HOF.

AJ has to accpet he has a ceiling and no trainer can take him beyond it. Go back to Rob!

 

Brilliant AJ!

 

= a Whiny egotistical *****,,,

 

I can overlook his weaknesses in areas of his boxing ability, he sure got wealthy despite them and was the Champ.

However i can never overlook his disgraceful tantrum after losing to Usyk the second time, taking the title belts that he had no right touching and disrespectfully dumping them out of the ring and his childlike rant, that was a stain on boxing history and i hope it is never forgotten, it summed up what the real AJ was, rather than the polished media friendly corporate brand he liked to project.

If AJ is going to continue i hope he does get a trainer who will not be a yes man, he needs one who commands 100% of respect, will highlight every area AJ needs to improve on, and is totally prescriptive in getting those improvements both in training and in the fight, AJ needs to leave the ego at the gym door.

There is not enough time to cure all AJs faults, but improving the major ones will make AJ a guy who is still relevant in the division, albeit with the glossy veneer some what tarnished.

 

He need to be looking for a new career.

 

Pull a froch

 

Very little can be taught to him now so late In his career. He needs to find a team who generally cares about him and his wellbeing. Sad really, mental health has really destroyed the man.

 

He already went on a quest of rediscovery after he lost to Usyk the first time. It just underlines how mentally fragile Joshua is that he has to go on this world tour every time he loses.

Even crazy old Wilder didn't swap Malik Scott when he lost the 3rd Fury fight. Deontay stuck with his new trainer and now appears to have his career back on track.
