Will probably be favored in the rematch. We will see. Was very classy in defeat tonight.

Overrated. He's lucky Wilder and Fury arent much better.

But he should've worked out a deal for the mega fight before risking being exposed by this guy.

Fury is head and shoulders better than Joshua. He completely outclassed Wilder. A draw was generous.

Ruiz is right there. And like Ruiz, no one cared about Fury until his big upset win over the always-overrated Klitschko. That's the state of the heavyweight division. The big loser here is Big Baby. I'd like to see him fight Ruiz. That might be a fun fight.

Ruiz has a good chin, surprisingly quick hands and a killer instinct. He knew when Joshua was hurt and put together some very nice combinations to get him down and eventually out.

He throws his hands better than Joshua and Wilder. People make too much of physique. It means next to nothing in the heavyweight division.

I'm a fan of Wilder. He could be great, but he is just so damn careless in the ring and gets hit way too much. I'll admit it makes for some exciting fights, like the one against Ortiz.

He's best against a tall statue like Breazeale. Ruiz would give him problems.

How did that "getting exposed" thing work out in the rematch for ol' fat Andy?

[–] dmac8 (5050) 5 years ago

yeah, good thing Andy lived it up and didn't train too hard -- but Joshua sure played it safe anyway. If AJ was as good as his image, he would've knocked him out both times. The second fight said much more about Ruiz than it did about Joshua. If you come away with "Joshua is back!" from that fight, you're doing it wrong.
