Two sides to the ledger.

1) He p*ssy, he didn't engage, he ran, he didn't go toe to toe.

2) The sweet science, lost first fight, went back to the drawing board, dropped weight, got his dance shoes back, stuck and move. Won the fight.

The first view is generally reserved for those that are more interested in violence, the second is for the purists.

As a sport vs as a spectacle? High calibre, 'prize fighters' have to meld both 1) & 2) in order to be a 'prize fighter'. That's what 'professional' boxing is all about.

Sometimes you just gotta get the W though.:francis::manny:

Whatever happened to the other big dude AJ was supposed to fight instead of Ruiz? He just disappeared after being popped for doping

It worked but he swallowed his pride, tucked his tail between his legs and kept those legs moving the opposite direction of that fat man...

He didn't want any smoke on the inside and that IMO would have been perfectly fine if he took his L admirably instead of crying for 6 months about a "lucky punch"...

You can't cry about lucky punches as if that man has no hands and keep your distance from him for 12 rounds in the rematch...That's a flagrant bytch move...
AJ handled the loss pretty well, only said a few times that it was "a punch from the gods" but that's nothing, about the best you will get from a pro fighter after losing. He didn't make sour grape comments and excuses months long like many do

This isn't true, Joshua actually didn't harp on it much at all. He took a break and got back into the gym. He ain't ask us to feel sorry for him. Also he was smart for not trading, it's that dumb shyt why he got caught the first fight trying to go for the finish

The bold makes no sense whatsoever...

Even if he said that shyt once, that proves he didn't handle the L well...That quote deliberately dismisses his opponents accomplishment and punching power by crediting his defeat to an invisible spiritual being...The idea this is normal behavior from a fighter after losing and we shouldn't expect more is bs breh and you know it...His words were of the sore loser minority, not the majority of fighters who take defeat admirably by giving credit to their opponent...

You make it sound like he made excuses like Deontay Wilder :comeon:

He gave Ruiz his props after the loss in the ring and didn't try to take anything from him

When everyone said he quit, he kept his mouth shut

Except for when he did television interviews and blamed luck and "a punch from the gods" his loss...:comeon:

And I never said nor implied he acting like that fool Wilder...Wilder on a whole nother level of bytchassery with his sore loser antics...

All I did was make a valid point, if you're not going to give a mans hands credit for whoopin you, if you're going to do interviews and claim it was luck and god that whooped you...don't run from that man in the rematch...
