So I assume you are a millionaire this morning then? Cuz a mere $90k bet on Ruiz woulda won you a million.

Who was even saying that around here? Definitely not most people I know that. I think the most popular choice in the pickem game was a early round KO by Joshua & the 2nd most popular choice as a mid round KO by Joshua. Which usually doesn't suggest a live opponent.
Ruiz isn't untalented. I don't think anyone was saying anything like that, but he's been a big fat unmotivated guy in the past & he looked like the same going into the biggest fight of his life.
That said I think there are some people here you've said Joshua was beatable, myself being one of them, & even saying Joshua would likely be beaten by no names, myself being one of them, but no one had much reason to think this was THAT fight & I was among those thinking that as well.Comment

Who are you speaking for? The forum guys? Ok... Ruiz was never unmotivated. I thought that he beat Parker. He just won't have the physique that maybe a Wilder or Joshua has.
Diehards here knew that Ruiz was more than capable of winning this fight. He was 260+ lb, has good power I feel he can land, has fast hands and can box. Diehards knew he had a great chance to win since he had been training for a long time and Joshua had to change opponents.Comment

I've said I think Joshua will lose to a no name guy as far back as a 2 years ago I believe. I didn't think he'd lose to this no name guy doe.
And if you are this good at predicting fights I don't know why you wouldn't bet on fights. It'd be easy money for you. I suspect you aren't as good as you think you are today doe even if you actually did call this upset or suggest Ruiz was a live dog which I've seen no evidence of.Comment

The guy has been 290ish pounds. He didn't box for a year for no good reason. Thats not a motivated guy in my book. He's a fat lazy guy who openly talked about how his trainer gots to call him to come to the gym after the biggest W of his career. This guy is gonna be gone on the world scene quicker than a gold digger who's millionaire husband just lost his ass in the stock market unless he's matched favorably AND keeps his sh^t together.
Show me the threads where people were even saying he was a live dog? There aren't any. The overwhelming majority of people on this site or elsewhere that I saw were all thinking this would be a breezy night for Joshua.Diehards here knew that Ruiz was more than capable of winning this fight.Comment

Exactly. Hindsight is a wonderful thing nobody give him a chance. Out of those 3%, i bet some of them were being facetious and half joking.
Still, nothing will beat the ***** size poll. The average dong size on BoxingScene is bigger than the average in the congo.Comment

It's true that the upset has been exaggerated. I mean, it's not something I would've bet money on, but the Parker and Dimitrenko fights showed he had the potential. Andy was labeled a dangerous replacement due to his deceptive hand speed and inside game. Some considered him better than Big Baby.
Here are a few threads talking about an upset.

Funny shet .
I was one of the only ones who voted AJ / Dec.
I knew Andy was good and would last 12 rounds.
I also Thought AJ had enough skills to outbox him though .Comment
