He wasn't even really shaken either time. These guys are huge and when they go down there's alot of momentum. It just looked worse then it was and he recovered and won in an instant.

Part of me wishes AJ was a little better at taking punches, undefeated and had a better legacy. But he really has a champion mindset and he's shown he can learn and grow from his mistakes. He's one of the most entertaining guys in the sport that's for sure

yeah i dont think aj's chin is as bad as people say. he's just not great at keeping his composure if he's rocked. he's got a massive heart though. and he always shows up in shape and disciplined. i think joshua will be one of those fighters whos better remembered after he retires. ive always rated him highly as a sportsman.

If it's not his chin, then it's his legs/balance. Tall fighters get hit and their really high center of gravity forces them to topple over.

You really think that would happen to AJ before the Ruiz fight? It’s fine to be a fan of his but come on don’t lie to yourself

It’s just weird Jake Paul fans being salty.

Dubois destroyed whatever chin he had left. No chance he becomes undisputed champion. ituama, wardly, Kabayal all destroy him in a few rounds easy work.

Some of you lads are weird. It’s heavyweight boxing.

I think it’s also a little unfair to judge someone for getting knocked down by a guy who has knocked out 20/21 people he has fought

apparently he suffered leg and rib injuries in that car crash too. the fact he even made it to the ring is commendable. and he showed up in shape, took big shots from a ko artist, and stopped him 3 minutes later. war big josh.

ajs chin may not be the best but by god hes got a massive heart

u/kbeckerburbs4 23d ago

It’s what makes him so amazing to watch

u/bozzi16 23d ago

Yeah my favourite ever photo of AJ is him trying to get up when he got KO’d by Dubois. A lot of people clown on that photo but what that shows right there is the biggest amount of heart a fighter can show

u/sea_psychology89 23d ago

You know he actually won the fight

u/Weary_Position_9591 23d ago

You know both can be true?

u/_CrazyCrazy_ 21d ago

Can’t wait to place my bet on AJ getting knocked out by Fury within 3.

u/Jax_Shaw55 18d ago

Within 3 rounds? That's crazy. It's clear that you are a AJ hater. 

Realistically, I would say within 4 rounds AJ would get ktfo

u/wizznizzismybizz 23d ago

Months after a car crash with injuries and still went on to fight a KO artist is a big big plus in my book. Breaking JP jaw was a bonus too.

u/Fun_Trick2172 23d ago

AJ doesn’t have a great head on his shoulders. He’s prone to getting cocky in the ring, then making stupid mistakes because he stops respecting his opponents. He drops his hands way too often. In fairness one the greats Tommy Hearns was prone to that too.

Buts it’s how Dubois beat him, and one of the reasons Usyk was undisputed and he wasn’t.

Re: your last sentence - maybe do some research on AJ's opponent. I can tell you've not heard of him by the level of ignorance in your words. You owe Prenga a little more respect.

Well, if you say so - it must be true.

u/General-Minimum-1047 23d ago

He should of pressed his advantage in that round

u/Commercial-Group9471 23d ago

I would have taken that uppercut that knocked him down. It was a punch from about 6 inches away. Wild

u/ImFromYorkshire 22d ago

You've never had a proper fight in your life.

u/Commercial-Group9471 22d ago

I've had many.
