I never said anything of the kind. For a pro athlete Ruiz is a fat slob. He has an amazing God given engine and skillset, like one of the fat slob driver-engineers at my old FD who used to be able to freedive like 70-80 feet down. I can only imagine what he'd be capable of if he'd ****ing train harder and was more disciplined. It's not like he lost a ton of weight. He just ballooned up over 300 lbs after his last fight but he was only 12 lbs less than in the first fight with Joshua... Retrain for strength? What the **** has he been doing the last 15 years lol?

Well 50-75 pounds of fat takes away defense, speed, footworks, flexibility, and stamina. Ruiz took Arreola seriously, maybe because this was an all Mexican American fight, near a high level. Arreola did the same.
All that extra weight can help you take a punch of sorts, as you don't move as much when you are hit ( Brian crashing into your skull ) as you put it. Given Arreloa's age and Ruiz struggling with him, you could argue neither belong in the top ten, that is if we had a good one.

Arreolla came in and performed better than expected. His age and thus lack of activity caught up with him down the stretch. Andy will always be Andy. FAT but talented nonetheless with very fast hands. He will still be a handful for just about any HW. They just need to keep him as far away from Deontay Wilder as possible. Very far.
