      If Andy Ruiz doesn't beat Luis Ortiz, he may end up on the one-hit wonder list.
      - - Andy will beat Ortiz easy if he rehabbed his bum leg that allowed Arreola to move around with impunity.

      That may have been the reason he left Reynosa who had him on a strenuous work out program with drills not suited for his mentality and physical type.

      Common sense says Valuev has to be trained quite a bit different than Inoue as one example.

        I like AJ, but I always took a wait and see attitude on all the "Most Modern Athlete- GOAT" horse**** that was being hung out there about him a couple of years ago. Still, though.....harsh??? Promotion science aside, nobody whos that bad does the audience numbers he did. A "well built semi-scrub" level fighter always sells himself short from the get-go, tacks on some kicks, shoots and grappling and heads straight to MMA. That's the reality of the free market no matter what sport anyone prefers to follow. Jeez.

              Of course Turpin probably qualifies as well.

                Isn't he the poster child for the overrated 'made by TV fighter' ? Truth be told I just assumed I was repeating CW. You see more?

                    Conventional history (wisdom), - i.e. 'lies agreed upon.'

                    I foolishly fall into such traps like everyone else. You hear/read something enough times you forget you probably should have doubted it.

                    But I can't remember any boxing wag ever praising Chuck Davey.
