Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz Plans On Weighing No More Than 255 Pounds For Arreola Fight

It's probably a more complicated story than that, but sometimes you have to give a soudbite answer.

We do know Ruiz has always liked to eat. Like a lot of us, he may have a tendency to rewarding himself with food, and maybe comforting himself with it as well. He became HW champ of the world. He would have wanted to celebrate -- food. Maybe he found realising his dream wasn't as fulfilling as he thought it would be and consoled himself with more food.

Andy had a food problem all along. To blame AJ, or Hearn, or any of that horn of plenty for his depression, is laughable. That was the easiest 20 mil Andy can ever hope of making. He should sign with Hearn and show some gratitude.

People clowned Joshua hard for losing to Ruiz because Andy's obese. They continued to clown him because he boxed in the rematch, instead of going for the KO. Truth is, Ruiz a hard hitter with fast hands and a good beard. If he can stay in shape and hone his skills, he can be a real force in the division. I don't know that he'll ever be champ again, but he'll be dangerous.

Arreola is American Chisora. He is very game fighter, but fails to win bigger fights. Should be fun.

He'll be a bit less fatter than his fat ass normal self.

Doesn't matter, like, at all. Even if he came in shape as **** he's fighting another fat slow HW. He needs to fight someone who can move to prove to me the fat is why Joshua beat his ass. I'm not convinced a 280, 260, 240, or even 220 Ruiz can keep up with the likes of Joshua on his bike until he gives me a reason in the ring to reckon he might and no matter how he beats Chris, Chris can't move for ****.

255 is still too much for a guy so short 6"1 with short arms and legs , with that size he should be around 230 max, he's a waste of talent. .

He's listed at 6'2 but he doesn't look taller than 5'11

I'll never the forget the site of him, morbidly obese, waddling around the ring in Saudi vs AJ, who was his usual vein popping shredded self.

Kfc vs Hgh

I thought he was taking training camp seriously this time. I still think Andy wins by stoppage in the mid rounds. Arreola is shot. It will be a good toe to toe brawl while it lasts.

[HandsofIron]

Still too heavy, fat Andy needs to be around 220 or 230 ish.

[SpenceBud]

Can't wait to witness the performance of this new slimmed version Andy Ruiz.

Much of a muchness....if he isn’t back down to 230-240 then it’s just piss poor discipline
