Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz: I'm Not Here To Lose Weight & Be Skinny - It's Not A Body Contest

A man's physique is directly proportionally to how hard he works. Andy's physique tells me he's lazy. His performances reflect that.

Also, as a professional fighter you do have an obligation to inspire the next generation of young men who look up to. Showing up obese to every fight, as if you're one donut away from type II diabetes, sets a horrible precedent. Especially to a population of overweight/ obese kids who share Andy's ethnicity. They look at him and think it's ok to look like that. To eat really high calorie, cheap food. It's not.

Yet he keeps winning. Look, the only fight I can directly point to, and say the weight affected him was Joshua 2. And that's the only fight he's decisively lost in his entire career.

Does it look unprofessional? Absolutely. Did u see James Toney in the later stages in his career? He looked terrible, but he kept winning.

. I watched the entire thing. Yet, he wasn’t obese.

Another one of your "facts" which you have failed to substantiate. Feel free to back this up with weights, height, BMI, BF% or whatever you wish.........I have a feeling I'm going to be waiting a while.

Okay, so I just plugged George Foreman's numbers in as follows to a BMI Calculator;
Height 6'4"
Weight; 257lbs (An average weight for his fights during this time period)
BMI; 31.3

Anything above a score of 30 is obese. Yep........you're wrong here pal, and I just proved it to ya. Not that I expect you and your blown up Marine ego to admit to it. But yeah.......you're wrong and I've proven it. Now get to walkin' chump.

You can have a BMI above 30 and not be obese because you are naturally more muscular than a typical person with that same height and weight. Foreman clearly had more muscle than a typical person that height and weight.

Most football players have similar BMI's and most aren't obese.

Fair enough. But I'd say he was above 25% bodyfat, which is also considered obese for a man of his age. (45+ y.o.) Look.......the point here is this; Fat guys can fight too. Look at Cain Velasquez and Daniel Cormier in MMA.

You can't always judge a book by it's cover. As Andy Ruiz once again proved against Luis Ortiz last nite. And Ortiz makes everyone he fights look bad. He's the worst spoiler I've seen since Bernard Hopkins or John Ruiz.
