Comments Thread For: Ruiz Warns Joshua: I'm Chubby and Short - But Fast as Lightning!

[Boxingfanatic75]

Are you related to Ruiz or something? You seem to take this very personal. Ruiz said he was chubby and I simply said no, dude is FAT. Stop being so sensitive, it's not that serious. He used to be obese now he's just fat. Ruiz is a good fighter, nobody is denying that. He's a fat slob who can fight, happy now?

I’m not taking anything at all personal; not in the least bit. These boxers go through hell and it’s so easy for people sitting at a keyboard face slopped with Cheeto dust to call someone obese or fat or garbage or this or that. It’s nauseating

I called him fat (he IS indeed fat) in a thread where the topic is about him being chubby and short and you just had to remind me Ruiz can actually throw more punches than me...etc. WTF is that supposed to mean. It does seem like you are taking this personal.

So was Big George in his career but he captured a world title not only being big but also being old. He then successfully defended it a few times. Good thing we don’t rate HW boxers by their body types because well we all know big boxers never win. I still fail to see your point. What does him having to be big have anything to do with him and his chances at the title?

Because if he’s big in a subcutaneous FAT kinda way, which he is, it’ll affect his performance in the ring. George beat an unfocused Moorer (who was winning) that lost concentration in the fight. George said his doctors told him to stop being a punching bag because it would affect his brain, and it’s the reason he finally left the sport. Otherwise he beat guys who weren’t serious.

Ruiz is good but if he took the nutritional aspects of the game seriously he”d be much better. “Snickers” are a window into his heart, and his body is proof he eats too many of them. Joshua & Wilder is smart enough to know that diet plays a huge role in performance, and it’s why they’re both champions!

ruiz really has no excuses. he's had a ton of time to lose weight and he's consistently put it back on. he can't stay in the gym and train hard and gain weight when he's got so much to lose. that's just not how it works. he gained 10 lbs between his last two fights.

ruiz has only lost 35-40 lbs since his debut when he was genuinely obese and got away with just knowing how to box as a heavyweight in mexico. there is no way he beats joshua being 20 lbs + overweight. he's fighting on 4-5 weeks notice. on activity alone he loses.

Nah not in the least. I don’t let small stuff get to me. I just dislike when people aim to demean another by calling out another’s body shape especially when the same person wouldn’t dare look the man in the eyes and say the same thing. I dislike chicken littles is all

Now! That’s the fairest comment I’ve heard thus far regarding this man’s size. Kudos

He's fat and if he wasn't he'd be faster.

Yes but he would probably be a cruiserweight or light heavy if that.

SuperRuiz. Faster than Fat Dan at a 1/2 off buffet one hour before closing, t^tties more powerful than your average strip club employee, able to eat a medium pizza in a single bite.

i dont understand why he doesn't try to get in shape

Getting in shape and staying fit, working hard and learning skills and adding power to your punches, all required dedication and hard work and a lot of sacrifices. Boxers who do that raise to the top and are professionals.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of "bums" who remain low-ranked fighters. They are NOT willing to put in the hardwork required at this level of professional boxing. Yes, they mass-up but aren't ready to chisel their bodies. They do hit the gym and train but only before fights. Rest of the time, they are simply lazy and do not put in the efforts.

I just can't see anyone making a big deal about people calling Ruiz fat when he is actually...fat. It clearly gets to you for whatever reason.
