Can Ruiz Become A Bigger Mexican Star Than Canelo?

[KO MX]

Please stop...

[Sid-Knee]

He isn't keeping hold of those titles for long. He'll either lose the AJ rematch, or fighters like Whyte, Fury, Wilder and some others will take them titles.

What is the ''big'' deal about being the 1st one of a nationality to do something ?!?!?!

It's probably the lamest form of compliment I can think of.

You mean like Jack Johnson being the first black hvwt. champion?
And that Joe Louis was only the second black heavyweight champion?

I think it's a huge deal being the first Mexican heavyweight champion.
It is to them anyway.

Well hate to break it to you, but this has probably happened in every sport throughout the history of time, and it's perfectly natural. Especially if you've got a country with a boxing heritage like Mexico and somehow never had a HW world champ.

Surely he's an overnight sensation in Mexico now. If he wins the rematch does he become bigger than Canelo?

Champion or not, he's still a sloppy fat **** who would look 14-15 years old were it not for that goatee.

The nationalist will appreciate a heavyweight champion of Mexican descent, but kids won't want to be like Andy Ruiz Jr, and women won't want to **** him.

Tough luck, but that's reality.

You didn't include ''why''.........

Winning the rematch wont be enough unless it's at Wembley
also he has to beat Wilder, Fury, avenge the Parker L & defeat upcoming heavyweights that are of the level of Deontay, TF, etc

[club fighter]

He might already be.

[JimRaynor]

No, Ruiz is a one hit wonder, he will disappear by next year.

That doesn't explain why, though.

The 1st woman to beat a man in a legit 3min per round boxing match ?

The 1st downy guy to be a healthy guy in a legit 3min per rd fight ?

That nationality aspect is pretty much meh. Imho
