    Good read thanks. Do you think that last right hand from Ruiz, which preceded the very last knockdown before the stoppage, was another good temple shot that scrambled AJ further?

    Got as far as the second paragraph before quitting.

    Joshua has chased big fights relentlessly, and fought the best guys he could get hold of. Deontay Wilder has spent his life fighting bums. I'm not an AJ fan, but credit where it is due.

    Thanks for the post ,didn't have to waste my time on his link of what seems not much thought put into what actually has transpired in AJ's career based of that what paragraph which tells me hes clueless or very clever of thought to carefully discredit one of the best 20 fight resumes ever. ...... lol

    Really, bro? Been on here for years. You've read my writing before, I try to be as impartial as I can be.

    Call it an abridged version of how Joshua ended up as the top rated HW.



    On Imgur, it's written for the casual fan, to spark an interest in boxing since 200k people will see this. The majority aren't fans the way the r/boxing or ESB folks are. I want to make more of us. So I shortened where I could.

    I wasn't in the room, so I'm not going to speak on the politics.

    But Aj had the best HW resume. The man who beat the best competition lost. Having watched Ruiz, he might be a serious problem if his chin can hold out. I'd pick the guy who beat AJ over Wilder hands down. But I think Fury decisions him.

    Weather Ruiz is the legit 4th king, or a one hit wonder remains to be seen.

    According to Aj he doesn't remember anything after round 3. He was pretty well scrambled already.

    Excellent analysis, as always. I like your unbiased view which is very rare today on boxing sites.

    The ****ed up thing is, I'm totally independent. I've asked around. Nobody wants to pay writers anymore. Even got permabanned with no warning over on BS. They disliked the patreon link. Their loss.

    Somebody gotta pay me. With or with out a site or affiliation with anybody. I'll make this living if it kills me.

    People are acting like Joshua got hit with the unrecoverable Dim Mak death touch.

    In reality he got punched repeatedly to the head by a 260lb guy with good power. He never recovered because he kept getting hit in the head.

    It's what AJ said post fight. Just quoting the man himself.
