Povetkin was a cheat.

An old, out of prime cheat.

Ban him, Ortiz and Miller for life.

The point is that AJ came back to beat Povetkin but was unable to against Ruiz who I would say is not as good as Povetkin that night. AJ was not the same fighter, it was Frank Bruno.

The point is AJ struggles with fighters with fast hands

I wonder who does Lennox think can handle such a task.

I read that two years ago Floyd welcomed AJ to train at his spot. Lennox got Steward about 4 years in the game whereas AJ is 6 years into his style.

If he can avoid Shots to the head, maybe next time out is different.

Watching the fight, and its apparent between rounds that McCracken is telling AJ exactly what he needs to do to win the fight.

Hearn stated yesterday that AJ didn't remember any of the 3rd round. If Ruiz can hurt him like that, just stay away from the one handed bomber. That may lead to total memory loss.

Anyone think George Foreman is that trainer?

I've never heard GF mention himself as a coach, but to hear it today was pretty interesting.

That's something how trainers like Roy Jones, Pernell did awful jobs, then average boxers like Freddie Roach, Manny Steward went on to become everything as a trainer that they were never as boxers. So maybe George can correct AJ without changing AJ.
