Comments Thread For: George Foreman More Impressed With Ruiz Than Wilder

[Bushidō]

Exactly. No one should be surprised that George is just parroting the company line.

And at least Wilder is in shape and looks like a professional. Ruiz is fat and looks like he doesn't care about his diet at all.

maybe he doesn't have the genetics to look ripped? He could lose some pounds though but we shouldn't judge a book by it's cover...as long as he can go 12 rounds.

I think so too.... Andy Ruiz is very talented, but like Solis he needs to cut about 15 pounds

Ha! Stop being so modest, you meant 50 pounds.

He's Mexican. Deontay is a prime example of what's wrong with today's American heavyweights - they don't fight anyone.



What he looks like is irrelevant, he can box.

Ok, so I stand to be corrected. I thought you were implying that because he is Mexican, he should be fat looking but you were in fact pointing out his nationality. Because his first name is Andy, I assumed he is a Mexican American but I guess he is not.

Smdh George is just bigging him up because he's fat like himself .. Wilder destroys tubby .. Wilder is freakishly strong .. P4p one of the hardest hitters there is

"He's Mexican" AND????

And...you implied he was American (see below), he isn't.

Andy Ruiz is a prime example of what is wrong with today's American heavyweights!

Wilder wouldn't even get in the ring with the guy, or at least wouldn't be allowed based on his record of opposition. Ruiz can actually box, we don't know much about Wilder besides the fact he can punch. Right now I'd pick Ruiz in a bout between them, giving Wilder a puncher's chance. I don't dislike Wilder, but we just haven't seen enough of him against decent opposition.

Dwyer gives a good overview of his abilities, from 11:25 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IBMhVkjd2k

Wow, just wow. "He's Mexican" AND???? What the heck is that suppose to mean? He's Mexican so he has a license to be fat and sloppy looking? Buddy you need to seriously reconsider your statement, if I were Mexican I would be offended at what you are implying

And for the record I AM NOT A WILDER FAN... AT ALL. You're barking up the wrong tree.

I believe you reading to much into what he said. I do believe he was referring to the fact that many are making it sound as if Andy Ruiz is an American when in fact, regardless how big his man boobs may be, he is a Mexican.

You must have seen foreman's years on HbO... He was the furthest thing from a company man. He WOULDN'T pump up the house fighter & often butted heads with lampley & merchant when they would... I don't see him changing. He's the most unbias announcer ever!

BS!!! Watch De la hoya vs The Bazooka, George Foreman is as biased as everyone else, ridin on the golden boys tube steak.

[Bushidō]

Foreman is a crappy commentator though

[deanrw]

I like Ruiz. He has amazing skills and hand speed for his size. Just imagine if he chopped off 20lbs how impressive he would be? He needs to cut some weight to reach championship level though. Right now he could beat Wilder, as Wilder has not proven anything yet either, but losing that bit extra will only do him good.

[panicchaser]

If he was any bigger than he was against Joe Hanks he should not be undefeated. He may be on the right path but he still looks like a whale in boxing trunks.

There's a reason why ur karma is red. It's ignorant comments like this one i'm responding to, along with your other ones that make me believe ur handle name really does fit u to a 'T' and not in a positive or constructive way.
