Comments Thread For: Arum: Joshua's Not An Elite Fighter; Will Fight Rest Of His Career Scared

[ralex]

Arum is a fool. Joshua is indeed an elite fighter.

Normally don’t agree with Rob Arum. However he is right. Ruiz is Above average hw and Joshua is a scared Fighter.

Also I heard That Luis Ortiz vs Ruiz is in the Works. I like this fight hope it gets made

The Bob father going a little too far. AJ is elite just not the best, at anything. Fury boxes better, Wilder has more power, but it's that glass jaw and mental weakness that drag AJs status down. When AJ got up, he was lost, looking for help, and quit. When Fury got up, the fight got started and sparks started flying. Elite in numbers, not heart.

So what about when he got up against Wlad? was that mental weakness? or when he got rocked by Whyte, laughed, stuck his tongue out and started brawling?

The guy took a fight in America, initially against Miller in Millers hometown, then when that fell through he made an offer to Ortiz which was refused, then at the 11th hour he accepts a fight with Ruiz. Literally his back up third choice last minute opponent is better than 38 of Wilders 40 opponents. And he allegedly entered that fight with a concussion, then after getting hurt he picks himself up off the canvas multiple times. Ultimately suffers a humiliating loss, gets universally shat on, but takes an immediate rematch in neutral territory, changes up his style and overcomes the odds to become champion again....and thats mental weakness?

People just cling to whatever suits their narrative. I suppose you'll ignore that time Fury faked retirement and gained 100+lbs to get out of a rematch when you talk about his mental toughness.

come on Joshua has defended in the States and Suadi. Wilder will never defend outside the States because he's a scared little *****.
He ran from the Klitschkos in Germany for that reason when Fury manned up and did his work for him. Why will he only fight with home advantage when every other heavyweight will travel.

Joshua defended in the states, and lost miserably, and has no plans on returning since.

USA is where the money is, unless you want to go to a country that beheads people.

Joshua tried to step up and failed in America. Humiliated, he had to go to Saudi terrority to build himself back up. It will be years before we see him in America again. He and Hearn will hide behind the guise of them not needing America to make money, which may or may not be true, but what's true is they are going to keep him away from Wilder or anyone dangerous so that the good times can roll.

[True That]

Depends on what kind of person AJ is and depends on his character. There have been fighters that have lost, got knocked out and came back, guys like Lennox, Wladimir, Kovalev, etc....and there are also fighters that have lost and never been the same. Time will tell. I'm definitely interested in finding out too.

No need to bother with dude he ignores reality I said similar to him earlier this week and he unsurprisingly couldn’t respond.

Hearn's a clown for this. Joshua needs to tell him to be quiet and just get him the fight. All the bull**** turns the hardcore fans who know better off.

Remind me of that time Wilder fought Whyte in the UK? Povetkin in Russia? Parker in New Zealand? oh yeah, hes never actually faced anyone of worth outside of his home country has he?

Wasnt stepping up to Wlad in his 19th pro fight dangerous? wasnt fighting Whyte (who held an ammy victory over him) in his 15th fight dangerous? wasnt it kinda risky that a few weeks out from their American debut fight date and with a possible AJ concussion they picked as a replacement opponent an experienced 30+ fight American whos only loss was a contentious decision vs Parker in a world title fight? I guess Usyk will count as a risk free can too as long as its AJ and not Fury or Wilder fighting him.

Seems to me like AJ has actually been the most consistent in the division when it comes to facing legit competition. Hes fought almost half of the current top 10. Why is it that the supposed top two in the division have almost completely avoided facing the rest of the top 10?
