Comments Thread For: Joshua: Ruiz Was The One Who Put His Name On The Contract

[Fire4231]

Look at the trends. Joshua will keep playing Fight Night with the difficulty on low and eventually he is going to have a Buster Douglas show up and drop his already falling stock price to nickels on the dollar. The other talking ish and ducking boxer in Thurman almost had his retirement party against Josesito Lopez. And let’s not forget Pacquiao taking on Jeff Horn for a shocking loss.

Boring as fight, even reading this garbage was boring *yawns.... If you have half a brain, you know daammmn well Ortiz did not turn down sht. FOH w/ all them low ball offers. Its called prize fighting for a reason. Fat ass Ruiz is beyond happy w/ all the pesos he gonna be spending in Mexicaly or TJ

Why are you so mad with Andy Ruiz? you know well but you're in denial, that Ortiz price himself out of the fight, he was offered 5-7 million and he wanted 10. Him, Wilder and even Fury cant draw flys to Shêet. out of the blue comes a 6' tall fat boy with waaay more cojones than wilder and Ortiz put together and you making fun of him? instead, you should be criticizing the other two cowards.

But it would add a new face in Andy Ruiz. Who would bring more buzz and excitement and the Mexican fanbase to the heavyweight division.

It could actually be good for the sport if he won. Although I'm not expecting him too.

You are absolutely right about that part.

I highly doubt Ortiz turned down a fight of this caliber with AJ. Anybody wise have to consider, at Ortiz's age, with a loss on his record already, what else does he have to loose. Dude step up and fight a formidable opponent and stop worrying about loosing either Fury or Wilder's belts that your holding hostage. Gone are the days where fighters fight whomever- win, loose, or draw.
Its horrible across every weight class, fighters running scared with underserved belts.

Well you need to start believing Ortiz turned down a fight of this caliber. Because that is exactly what happened and his own team admitted it. Sounds to me like you have very much buried your head in the sand here. Joshua is the BOOGEYMAN. Nobody seems to want to try to take his belts off of him and nobody seems to want career high pay to do it. Not Ortiz, Not Wilder, Not Whyte and Not Fury. All turned offers down, none of them came back with any counter offers, they all just going "different routes".

Snickersman will make AJ run a London Marathon!

Great narrative slightly undone when Ortiz's own team come out and take the blame and put it on their promoter. So now with that info, knowing Hearn offered $7M ($500K vs Wilder) and Ortiz's promoter turned it down would you say AJ is actually out there trying to fight formidale opponents?

Still can’t believe that coward turned down 7m dollars on a 6 and a half weeks notice. And no am not blaming anyone but him. I know he knows about the offer, so am not putting the blame on some fake made up promoter. I really don’t want to hear about him to be honest, I was one of the people praying for him to get that fight along with the payday to help with his daughter’s medical bills. And be turned it down! F him, hope he “runs it back” with Wilder for 1m dollars this time.

Miller didn't just pop, he was loaded with an atomic ****tail. It shocked me that he thought he was going to pass the test.

The most well resourced guys never get caught. The guys at Miller's level don't have millions to get around the testers tests.

Not many heavies can take short notice fights, as there all on peds and need time to get it out of there system, before signing up for pre fight testing.

Why you think AJ books his fights so far in advance way before he even has an opponent.

I never heard so much praise coming from the other side, in boxing 8-)
