    I don't agree, he got off the mat to beat Wlad and showed some grit. Since Ruiz clubbed his head? Not so much.

    **** off UTF you instigating *****. Before the fight I said the only thing I was worried about was the car crash and his punch resistance because of the effects of crash.

    Plenty got it wrong but only the people that didn’t follow boxing or had over rated Joshua ever thought that Usyk was the under dog .

    But AJ is still fighting . Wallin spanked fury so bad , that lard boy gets panick attacks every time he thinks about fighting another southpaw . That’s why he ran from usyk to fight mma guy.

    So you covered all bases, thus rendering anything you said about that fight moot.

    HW Usyk gets overrated because he's an undersized HW beating the super heavy weights, but none of these super heavies are actually good barring Fury
    I don't know how one looks at AJ and thinks this guy is a good boxer lol

    This.
    People forget that Wlad started his nervous disposition and fear of being hit.

    To be fair, these were your words right after AJ beat Ruiz:

    "AJ lost a ton of weight so he could run like a little fairy from the big bad fat man and pranced his way to the win like Tinker Bell. Good for him. Hopefully he'll lose even more fans from this borefest than he did in losing."

    Both Joshua & Helenius looked like ****. RH, at least, had an excuse for looking lethargic. AJ was far too tentative and couldn't pull the trigger until way too far into the fight against a set-up. Joshua looked the worst I've ever seen him. I really hate to say this and I usually try to be as positive as possible, but Anthony Joshua is done. All the signs are there in the ring. He will be beaten by any one of the top guys and that includes Joyce, Zhang and probably even Ruiz, if he can come in relative shape.

    It's sad to me that just a year or so ago, I was posting positive things about AJ after the Usyk fights, saying that he had potential to beat anyone around. My reasoning was that he had come back to avenge the Ruiz loss, which is an important experience to have as a successful, top-flight fighter. Then, he spent 24 rounds in the ring with the best pure HW boxer around and even did a bit better in the 2nd fight.

    For a fighter that truly desires greatness, these are priceless experiences that they will use to come back as smarter, more alert & aware and overall improved boxer. AJ has unfortunately taken another road it seems, which is very sad. He has looked steadily worse since the last Usyk fight. He has not risen from the ashes of his experiences in the ring to spread his wings and soar, fighting better than ever and knocking at the door of greatness.

    Usyk is a good fighter, but he's not going to beat Fury. AJ is the most overrated HW in a long time.

    Just to be clear, I am in no way denigrating Joshua's accomplishments in the ring. I realize the work that goes into it, along with much bravery & toughness.
    But, as the past Greats & All Time Greats have shown that, learning from negative experiences and turning a loss into a gain of wisdom, is only for the ones that truly desire fistic greatness.
