Aj in a total war, spoon was a not a killer puncher and Aj would survive to the toe to toe fire and finally would stop spoon
This. Joshua’s tailormade for Witherspoon, who was a killer in his prime. Once Witherspoon starts throwing bombs it wouldn’t be long before Joshua’s getting picked up off the canvas.
If Ruiz could stop Joshua so could Tim. I hope Joshua really learns from the Ruiz fight and develops into a better defensive fighter with his jab.
Ruiz is not much until he proves he can beat other ranked fighters and not be out of shape when he gets loads of money again.
Witherspoon is being given way too much credit here. If Joshua brought his track shoes, he’d win an 8-4 type fight with some rough moments. There’s a reason why Joshua has already passed Witherspoon’s accomplishments and Joshua is not Frank Bruno.
Emmm... He did beat one of the champions by ko.. And it was not a crazy shot.. He actually won the fight
maybe he is good by today's standard but in reality he caught him off guard. I have never been to fond of guys like Ruiz and Douglas and guys who win one big fight and then take it all for granted.
Although your point about his defense is certainly a valid one, I hope that Joshua doesn't continue neglecting the aggressive offensive strategy that brought him to prominence in the first place. That safety-first jab and move performance against Ruiz in the rematch was about as exciting as watching paint dry. I doubt people will pay good money to watch too many more performances like that. (Even if he wins)
AJ is better than Witherspoon in every department apart from his chin, you guys are nuts, AJ is a higly skilled fighter Ruiz would have destroyed Bruno with ease enough of this crap.
