Remember when Joshua fans pretended Ruiz would beat everyone out there?

Let's call it what it was: the flukiest win of all time.

Burrito eating slob Ruiz caught AJ in a wild exchange after AJ hurt him and jumped in for the kill.

hahahahah joshua resume is aging like **** hahahah. Whyte koed by a 42 year old grandpa, parker needed a robbery against past prime chisora. ruiz in a 50/50 fight with 40 year old 220 lbs arreola hahahaha. Joshua is a bum and Fury will smash him to pieces.

So how is Fury’s resume ageing? He only has 2 wins over ranked opponents - Wlad who he ducked out of a rematch twice and who was then stopped and retired by AJ. And Wilder, who everyone agrees is absolutely terrible yet it took Fury 2 attempts and a near-death experience to beat him.

See, it’s easy to make anyone’s resume look bad. Or are top fighters only supposed to fight opponents who never lose again?

if you watch soccer, a top team losing to a lesser team, just means they lost 'on the night' and doesn't mean the lesser team is superior. it just means they performed better on the day, or had more luck, or the top team was on bad form that night etc.


manny pacquaio vs marquez?

How is Marquez vs Pacquaio a proper analogy? Pacquaio never showed separation between Marquez in any fight between them.....

Ortiz beats Ruiz. Wilder probably also beats him.

Ruiz -Whyte is 50 -50 fight.

[KP1]

Fury needed the worst robbery of 2009 to beat John McDermott, got dropped by Nevan Pajkic and Steve Cunningham.

This notion that he’s Neo is getting ridiculous.

[ShaneMosleySr]

I never said that.

Remember when thread starter said Ruiz was going to beat Joshua in the rematch?

[ShaneMosleySr]

Contracts were signed and Bob Arum said an announcement was imminent.

You should blame me for AJ-Fury falling apart too.

I remember that. I also remember when Crawford fans were claiming he was fighting Pacquiao so all his detractors need to stfu.

[ShaneMosleySr]

I don’t have to give Joshua credit for anything.

He lost to an unranked heavyweight who was properly rated at unranked.

You guys can't decide if it was a freak win for Andy or not. Either way hurts your argument. You've either got to give Joshua credit for a lopsided win in the rematch, or accept that it was a freak occurence that was promptly reversed.

Andy now has one of the best heavyweight resumes out there. Joshua, close with Parker, and Arreola. It's a better resume than Wilder, who Fury's post-2015 comeback resume is entirely built off.

[ShaneMosleySr]

He never lost to an unranked fat guy.

So how is Fury’s resume ageing? He only has 2 wins over ranked opponents - Wlad who he ducked out of a rematch twice and who was then stopped and retired by AJ. And Wilder, who everyone agrees is absolutely terrible yet it took Fury 2 attempts and a near-death experience to beat him.

Actually I think it was the Wilder and Fury fans putting Ruiz as the third best heavyweight after the A.J win to troll , a huge majority on here thought A.J had an off night . I don’t recall objective posters claiming Ruiz can beat anyone ever . I didn’t rank him high at all tbh until the rematch he lost because he showed he can stay with A.J even if A.J wasn’t trying to go out of his way to K.O him . Ruiz is a good fighter at any weight but he shouldn’t be in anyone’s top 5 .
