In boxing you fight according to your weight, small man fights small man.
Thanks, but I think your point was obvious in my previous post already.

How to know someone who is clueless about boxing: mention Mayweather when HWBs are mentioned.

Mayweather and Joshua are not in the same division, I know. I just used him as an example of a boxer that went undefeated

The issue isn't about regaining the belt, the issue is going undefeated the entire duration of your career. 50-0-0. Persons like Mayweather Jnr

My opinion
Mayweather was undefeated because he was always running away in the ring.

That's why he's not considered a true boxing great like any others on the list

I strongly believe Joshua lost the match on agreement. Ruiz hit the canvas early and Joshua was clearly in control until he started dropping guards and taking punches unnecessarily.

I'd like to believe it isn't about the money, but an attempt at raising contenders and making the entire quest for the HWT a joy to watch. Before now, the world wasn't interested if Joshua's opponent isn't Wilder but that has changed. Most people are looking forward to rematch already, which means more money, and possibly more recruited HW fighters waiting in line to try their luck against Joshua.

Anyone who saw AJ's match against VK and compare it to that of Ruiz would know that something went wrong.
What if Joshua didn't train well for the match? He was in Miami training against Ruiz. Distractions were many. Plus i think he underrated Ruiz. Ruiz was only given a notification 4 weeks before the match. I believe two things contributed to Joshua's loss

1. Overconfidence
2. The injury from his first knockdown.

Muhammad Ali - one of the greatest men of the 20th century. I was wowed reading his biography, every fucking page.


He was stripped of his belt vecause he refuses to fight in the Vietnam war as he claimed his religion was against it, even risking 5 years in Prison. He got his boxing license won the belt again, lost it and won it again. His confidence was out of this world. Zlatan Ibrahimovic even dey copy am.


Then one ignorant person on this forum wants to tell me that because Mayweather has 50:0, he is a better boxee than Ali. Mayweather wishes he had half the greatness of Ali.

In terms of populariry and influence, Ali surpasses even Michael Jackson.

Sting like a bee, float like a butterfly.

So I called my short cousin to press the bell, she was not able to reach it then I carried her up!
What happened changed my life..
Since den I've never touched anything bell again....Cow bell, door bell, church bell, school bell, even jingle bell, jingle Bell.... I don't sing it!

AJ acted according to the script he was given. No one saw this coming. I won't know if he was paid for that but I believe there was an agreement.

My opinion

Nobody can go 50-0-0 in the heavyweight division. Mayweather was able to do so because he's not a heavyweight division boxer and of course, he was very lucky. Moreover, he was always about winning by points, not KO, so he was a very defensive and dodgy boxer by style. He won most fights by unanimous decision, not by KO. Wilder is trying to be the first heavyweight in history to achieve that feat, and that's why he's always dodging boxers he's not sure he can beat grin. He wants to achieve the record with kurukere wayo style. Dillian Whyte is waiting for him, Ortiz, Fury and even AJ. That his big mouth will soon be shut. Las Las he will be humbled very very soon. Even Ruiz will destroy Wilder or Potvekin.

Anthony Joshua looked strong but actually fragile. He's got to go for psychological counseling else he won't regain the belts. It's a mind game. Need to consult his fellow country man, Lennox Lewis, on what it takes to regain a heavyweight belt.

He sold that game I can tell.
Hitting the canvas four time on his knees isn't the AJ I know. Ruiz had a weaker punching power to the others he has fought with. More money for the young man.

Dangote by Burnaboy explains that match

Compare to AJ. it's like a Joseph and Goliath biblical story. My point is AJ is taller, lankier and should most importantly have out boxed him, and that's not taking anything away from the brilliance of Ruiz.

Now let me ask you this question, you should be honest to yourself before you answer the question. If you were in my shoes, would you keep arguing with a fool who contradicts himself when you have something better to do with your time? Note the word "FOOL". I just need a yes or no for an answer.
If you can't give me a yes or no for an answer, then there's no point arguing with you(slowpoke).

It does not not matter that AJ is Taller but a 6ft2 guy is never a midget anywhere.
