    You think a mans body is any indication of fighting ability? That's absurd and has been hilariously debunked a many times. Do you think a man who looks Andy Ruiz should pump Joshua so hard into quitting?

    Lol I’m sorry but watching you guys rage every time I say someone’s not very good is hilarious. I’ll try and stop.

    You swear? @Austinboxing is cartoonishly "pro modern" and stuff like using AJ's physique as an argument seems like our flavour of satire.

    So back to it, why is it Ruiz the stumpy fat fellow who is the same height as Joe and a third as technically sound absolutely wash and pump your body beautiful goliath?

    Being fat can make you strong and Ruiz was still fit and well conditioned. Louis however would be a light heavyweight now a days and even as a light heavyweight he still looks weaker and smaller than guys like Bivol.

    Brooooooooooo. Ok I’m not gonna have this conversation anymore cause you guys aren’t listen to my points. Louis isn’t as athletic or strong as modern fighters which is why I think he wouldn’t be as good now a days. How is that trolling? Louis is a great fighter no doubt but head to head in think he’s too old fashioned.

    He's less athletic than Ruiz? Seriously? You're embarassing yourself here.

    I didn’t say Ruiz I said Bivol. Joshua had an off night with Ruiz as he proved in the rematch. All I said was Ruiz was very fit and could go the full 12 rounds. Anyway as I said I’m getting fed up with this conversation. Have a good day.

    Louis is way too big to fight at LHW, even with modern draining methods. Louis is way more athletic than 95% of the active boxers at world level around his size or bigger. He was elite athlete and on top of that, he was more skilled than bums Joshua faced in his career.
