    Lennox Lewis would be a better choice. The style Lewis used against Mike Tyson is the same style Joshua needs to use against Ruiz. I just do not know how much Joshua can change in a short period of time. No matter what style he uses chances are he is going to get hit at some point and his chin is almost as bad as David Price. I seen Joshua land his best right hand on Ruiz a few times and we was not fazed at all. I think Ruiz can take Wilder's power too.

    The Style LL used against MT? You do realize that was a ghost of Tyson, LL at his best would never have been able to successfully use that style against a younger Tyson without getting hit with something after a while. Agreed with everything else

    The thing AJ needs to do is to drop down from 250 lbs to 230 lbs so that he can maximize his chances of moving around and have better stamina.

    He can come in at 210, no difference........he will never be a conditioning monster, he is a bodybuilder.

    Cannot train a glass chin, at his age will not improve his Ring IQ.

    In a rough fight the dog in him will quit again, that cannot be trained out either, he simple cannot take sustained pressure due to his mental make up., he does not have the do or die attitude, that cannot be trained either, you have it or you dont.

    Lol, some fans asked him that question as to what did your coaching, advice do for David Price's career and LL defended himself saying David Price lacked the work ethic and drive to put in the hard yards to improve.

    My suspicion is Lennox just might not be a good instructor/ trainer.

    Well, he blamed the Mccall loss on his trainer, he couldn't blame the Rahman loss on Manny Steward because the later was already a legendary trainer at that point. But LL rarely took responsibility for unfavorable things. Who can forget his overly defensive demeanor after the Vitali fight.
