Comments Thread For: Hearn: Andy Ruiz is Tougher Test For Joshua Than Miller Was

[juggernaut666]

Promoters are cornballs..I am getting so tired of this sport..Has anyone noticed that whenever there is a replacement fighter they always say, "well this is a much better fight any , blah blah.''

I am thinking about cancelling my DAZN subscription, this is getting pathetic.

Ruiz is a better fighter and carries more pop in his punch then even a 350 pound miller does who is a grinder and relies on work rate to wear guys down and we know where it comes from. Don't you guys like better fights ? I guess not.

I think Ruiz is probably a bit better. I expect Joshua to beat him easily though.

Disgraceful but what is he suppose to say just know karma is coming

Hopefully that works for Teofimo Lopez too!

Same here dude. I think that's a awesome match-up. And it seems like Lomachenko is annoyed by him now. Maybe Loma will take it personally and ask for the fight without Lopez getting a strap.

If Andy Ruiz is better than Miller, then why did he make the offer to Miller in the first place? Was Miller a mandatory?

Nah... Miller is an American and could talk some serious trash. He got the gig to fight Joshua when the Whyte rematch feel through and they decided to come to America. His attitude would help sell the fight. Nothing he did in the ring earned him this shot.

“In my opinion, this is a tougher test than Jarrell Miller. Andy punches harder and is much faster – this is going to be a war."

I believe most of that, except I do not really buy into Ruiz being a harder puncher. But he is a more stablished pro, has an actual resume, and REALLY wanted this opportunity. His last fight was a glorified scrimmage, so he is none the worse for wear except the long training camp. I know it is Hearn's job to sell this fight, but actually considering the circumstances I think it is an easy sell. Ortiz would have been a better fight, Hunter an American to an American audience. But Ruiz is a legit contender, a legit top 10 HW.

Joshua should beat him solidly, but Ruiz deserves this shot more than most.

Hmm, judging from that pic, maybe he's not all that fat and tubby after all. Maybe he just has spindly legs??

Uh no he's ****ing fat. He's 30 pounds overweight.
