    Since the Ruiz fight, there has been a noticeable lack of confidence in Joshua, both in an out the ring. There were rumours of a panic attack in the dressing room before Ruiz 1 with his dad wanting Eddie to cancel the show and then you could see Dad losing it at Hearn after the stoppage in the ring, having to be half restrained. Now since then, I’ve noticed when interviewed he looks zoned out, like dopey, and very cautious with what he’s being asked, no attitude, just a big soft slow Teddy Bear... In your opinion guys, has the pressure on Joshua’s shoulders, the humble act etc blown Joshua’s fuses, an now he’s strung out on meds because his arse has gone to top it all off ??

    I've worked in the mental health/addiction fields for over 35 years. I never met Joshua so can only make general statements. One of the most profound statements is "Be careful what you ask for" It can be very challenging handling so-called success, celebrity, money, etc. Some people really struggle with it. Joshua might actually be happier being an unknown fitness instructor. I'm not kidding.

    Good reply. I don’t think he’s mentally on point anymore, the pressure has got to him. Imagine getting up in the morning and having to pretend to be someone else, everyday

    After he lost to ruiz I thought he was very relaxed, almost relieved. Keeping that 0 may have put huge pressure on himself.

    Pretty sure he has been on meds way before the Ruiz 1 fight, and so was Fury by the way.

    I'm not sure, I think he's just very restrained in what he says in public, he's playing the game to make the money end of.

    I'd normally say that he's saving his true feelings for Instagram private messages, but they will have that practice on a lead these days, too.

    you assume too much.
    if the pressure got to him he would have folded in the ruiz rematch.

    are you just seeing what you want to see?

    He wasn't allowed to use his meds in America. I just wonder if he would have been able to fend off Dustin Nichols in Pizza Hut, if he came up to his table and snatched his 13 inch cheese tomato topping. Probably be pounded down to the ground. He was in a pitiful condition the first fight.

    He would’ve folded if he hadn’t of run, that’s why he ran. Everyone with any awareness can see he’s empty to prior Ruiz 1, if you can’t see that then your lying to yourself

    Maybe, slow responses might be because he’s on guard to not say anything derogatory or stupid.

    A fan who’s favourite fighter jacks it every time he’s at the top and gets a good win is talking about another fighter who’s not mentally on point.

    He’s a Fury fanboy. It’s pretty funny actually that he’s talking about AJ’s mentality when Fury has shown time and time again he’s not mentally equipped to stay at the top of the game.

    There's a history of putting entertainers on pills to keep them on tour/set and lucrative. So it definitely wouldn't surprise me if a cash cow of this magnitude was being 'managed' by advanced meds.
