    He's just a level above the Fatman, and always was. It was a total fluke that he beat Joshua, and now reality has simply demonstrated that it was always a fantasy that he was on AJs level.

    If it was a fluke? Joshua wouldn't change his whole style in the rematch

    So, you're saying that a guy having to lose 20lbs so he can haul ass faster and not gas and pot shot his way to a one sided UD in an incredibly dull affair somehow invalidates what happened in the first fight? That's some faulty logic. The reason why he had to make the adjustments in the first place, is because the first one was in fact not a fluke. He literally had to change his body and his entire fighting style to win this time. That's a hell of a lot of adjustments to make for nothing.

    If the first was a fluke, he would have simply gone in there and beat him fighting the way fought him in the first fight with no adjustments needed.

    Here's the reality, in range Ruiz nine times out of 10 will beat him, because he's the better fighter there.

    Long range, Joshua nine times out of 10 will beat him, because he's the better fighter there.

    The first was not a fluke, the second was not a fluke.

    I would’ve liked to have seen AJ try and get Ruiz out of there in the last couple of rounds but otherwise he got the job done and the fight went exactly how I thought it would

    not sure I want to see a 3rd fight, let’s see AJ get Pulev out of the way and in the meantime Ruiz can comeback against miller/Kownacki perhaps?

    Anytime a heavyweight champion has his ass completely handed to him by another heavyweight it is not a fluke. He was exposed. His weaknesses were there. He lost weight so he could run. Clinic.....nah.

    Joshua fans are talking faster than Roy Jones Jr was after he beat Griffin in the rematch.

    I agree. Too bad many people can't see that, it seems obvious to me.

    No, but one thing for sure is that AJ has a glass jaw, everytime Ruiz landed clean you can definitely see it.

    Jab, Grab, Hold and Run in an enlarged ring is the strategy of a scared little schoolgirl.

    LOL Explain to me how the first fight was a fluke and yet in the rematch Joshua change his whole style to beat Ruiz? <<<Does that make any sense when you say it was a fluke?

    AJ’s lighter body will make his chin worse.
