    About time Andy Ruiz Jr stepped up?

    He has had years to get in shape now & in truth he is just getting fatter.
    Boxing is so physically demanding can anybody tell me how its even possible to train so hard yet still be that size?
    He is obviously not bothered about being in shape so lets not use his weight as an excuse.
    The kid has 23 pro fights and his best win is Tor Hamer who quits everytime he gets hit back. Andy Ruiz Jr had 110 amateur fights, that is a lot of fights for a HW. Us fans wanted Wilder a guy with only about 30 amateur fights (albeit at a higher level) to step up. Why is nobody calling for this kid too?

    To put this into perspective somewhat Joseph Parker didn't have anywhere near the amateur career this kid did, he was fighting better opposition 6 fights in! 10 fights in & this kids fought Minto, Botha, Nascimento, Sherman Williams.

    110 amateur bouts, 23 fights into his pro career & he is still fighting 12-8-2 journeymen

      Maybe he has been eating his way through the competition so far

        He needs the extra weight to survive the winter.

          I watched Ruiz fight that guy Tor Hamer. He stopped him but it was obvious Ruiz is not ready to step up.

            Remember when he said he'd drop down to 240... but went up to 275 instead?

                I do remember that interview actually & I still think 240 is too much personally. If he was in proper shape I wouldn't be surprised if he was a small cruiserweight.

                I am under the impression he is just a fairly average sized guy who is really undisciplined. 275lbs at his height is ridiculous.

                    He's going to try and get a vacant belt against a weak opponent. If he were to face Wlad, I feel sorry for the guy.
