    Before Ruiz Jr took over and wrapped AJs soul up and consumed It for lunch.

    Who do you think would have won?

    I heard that AJ went in to the Ruiz fight suffering from a KO in sparing and wasn't right.
    I don't doubt that to be true, we have seen Joshua take big punches (I think bigger than what Ruiz caught Joshua with) from Wladimir, Whyte, Povetkin and come through

    I really think Ruiz got Joshua at the right moment in time to win and I guess if he was suffering a concussion going in to that fight, could have had the same thing happen if facing Miller or other HWs
    So possibly at that same moment Miller, but in general I would favour Joshua to beat Miller and think he would beat Ruiz 8/10 times

    I don’t subscribe to the training camp KO story, I think Joshua suffered a pre fight anxiety attack in the changing room.

    I suffered such an attack before a pro Rugby League match and believe me it completely robbed me of energy and it disoriented me to the point where I was playing in the 3rd person like a zombie. It came out of nowhere, it was totally illogical as I’d played hundreds of games and never had anything like it before and that just confused me even more, much like Joshua asking “what’s wrong with me” in his corner.

    As for the Miller question, I don’t think he had the foot or hand speed to do what Ruiz did and had Joshua landed that 3 punch combination on Miller it was good night god bless and time to go home.

    AJ had a panic attack because he was away from home

    Only Fury and Usyk can function abroad

    I think Big Baby roided up as he thought it was the only chance he had to beat AJ.

    And regrets it now as he’s have had a decent chance anyway

    I was told about the ko story from a reliable source, so believe it to be true
    Joshua had been on the big stage throughout his career

    Not sure Miller could of done what Ruiz did and catch Joshua mid combo like he did. But then again, against that version of Joshua who seemed to forget he was a boxer and more focused on being a promoter and celebrity anything is possible because that Joshua was very beatable. We'll never know what Miller would of done because Miller blew the biggest opportunity of his career.

    Begs the question why was he sparing so late before a title defence? Who let him fight so soon after a KO?

    True, Miniq could have phrased it better: only Fury and Usyk can function in the enemy's backyard. The only time AJ ventured to an enemy's backyard, he got battered around the ring and dropped 4 times. Saudi was neutral territory.

    Saudi soil with Eddie Hearn payroll judges

    Only real bad boys go to enemy soil and kick ass.

    Good point... AJ tried to conquer USA but The Snicker took his soul. Now coming up to 33 years old.. Possibly too late to take over USA like Fury did.

    As bad as AJ was that night Miller could have taken her out.
