    Joshua QUIT against an obese Mexican middleweight midget who lost to Joey twelve Parker. And ran scared in the rematch.

    Wilder got in there three times against a 6’9 270lb ATG heavyweight. And showed no QUIT at any point.

    Joshua’s glass heart was exposed even more in the second fight against the obese little Mexican than the first. Wilder went out swinging three times in a row against Fury.

    You couldn’t have picked a worse example than Wilder when trying to somehow claim Joshua has heart by comparison.

    Joshua reclaimed his title in the next fight. It remains to be seen what Wilder has left.

    Live to fight another day is sometimes the better choice than continuing a career shortening beating.

    In the end Wilder brought that beating on himself. It should have been stopped sooner, but his foolishness meant there was no way the referee or his corner were going to interfere. And he got the long drawn out beating Fury promised.

    Bravo to him for being an idiot I guess

    Eh? The point was that Joshua has no heart. None.

    you seem to be asking whether Wilder showed TOO MUCH heart. Yeah perhaps he did, another one of the reasons he’ll be remembered in fifty years time and beyond.

    I think I'm in the minority that thinks that Joshua did the right thing against Ruiz Jnr in the rematch, he simply couldn't afford to lose and played it safe with an absolute shut out. I know everyone wanted a Lewis KO over Rahman style win but Joshua had to assume that Ruiz Jnr was going to come into this fight like he did the first one, utterly fearless with nothing to lose, he did the right thing, it wasn't pretty but it didn't matter.

    Who has said he didn’t do the right thing? That is obvious. But for some to make out that he improved or looked fantastic are overstating the performance. Anybody who is 6’6” and in good shape could’ve done that. Ruiz was a joke.

    He's been ripped apart on here by a number of people for "running" all night against a fat man.

    Incorrect.
    He’s been ripped apart for running all night against a grinning little obese man.

    Yes but it is all about getting the win. I have ripped him but it was clearly the right thing to do. Ruiz was pathetic and should take the blame. It wouldn’t have been that hard to get to him.
