Anthony Joshua wants to rediscover passion before Andy Ruiz Jr. rematch

[margaret thatcher]

AJ is a sad pathetic case

How do you figure that one? Made millions of dollars, is overwhelmingly successful. Is one of the biggest stars in his chosen Profession...still, even after losing.

Hell even if he never managed to win another fight, he's had a career that most could only dream of.

I'm just being silly there. I think it's all gotten a bit overblown, there's like a circle jerk of 'look AJ's ruined and done! every time some words from him come out,' but I think that's premature and probably reading too deep into him putting words out there for interviewers.. And as others rightly noted, what about Ruiz's state? Is he letting it go to his head? He was never really the most dedicated it seemed and what is his motivation now that he's been able to buy mansions, buying rolls royces, doing all sorts of media, etc. And Andy was not exactly the most convincing in performances before this,

Basically, in terms of mental state or one-offs, I'm not really convinced either way, and we really need to see them fight again. A guy like Kov got KTFO by a fighter more consistent than Andy,, then had a bunch of legal problems come before the rematch and looked in a bad state, but then come fight time was super focused and won pretty much won every round (those 8-4 cards were very generous to Alv)

The rematch is a really good one, let's see what happens

..like someone once said: "the reports of my death are greatly exaggerated"..

That was the great Mark Twain, tho he actually said, "The report of my death has been grossly exaggerated," which plays better anyway.

If AJ does not get himself straightened out. a 300 lb TFKoB will walk through him.

Rediscovering the passion after only 23 fights is a worry.

..not that it matters or is relevant here, just to clarify: his name was Samuel Clemens alias Mark Twain and both are misquotes, what he actually wrote was:



"The report of my death was an exaggeration.” ...

Quite so, Professor Greg. My Mark Twain quotation was an exaggeration. In fact it was grossly exaggerated.

As for Mr Joshua, here it is, Passion Street. It's been rediscovered!

Do you chuckleheads seriously read enough into what boxers randomly say to proclaim retarded things like ‘he’s finished’?

Judge the damn fighters on what they do in the ring.

I know right? Every little word from AJ now gets jumped on with the 'omg look so mentally weak, he's done' circle jerk.
