Is Ruiz proof that being a Gym Rat is worthless in pro Boxing?

[thecomedian2]

AJ seems to be an exceptional athlete, with exceptional work ethic, trains his body to the max, but Ruiz seems lazy, unfit and likes to eat McDonalds.


should it be discouraging to any boxer that working hard at the gym will not improve your speed, reflexes and power? Some boxers seem to be fast and powerful but it comes naturally.

I think you can make that point.

Ruiz works very hard in the gym.

he just has trash genetics for looks.

What’s to say he isn’t a gym rat? He may just be like James Toney and likes to just spar and work on technique? I would guarantee he practices boxing more than Joshua.

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

He's proof that heart, skill and a great game plan are important. It doesn't mean gym work is worthless.

No, he doesn't, he is fat because he eats McDonald's, snickers and other crap.

[Grimgash]

You think world level boxers aren't gym ****? His genetics are terrible for physique and nothing will really change that. I know built shredded dudes who naturally look like that but are pansies and can barely curl 25s, while chubby out of shape looking guys can hit 60s with ease... Appearance isn't all thats to it.

no it's genetics.


look at Chris Arreola.


When Mexicans get that big. they all have tiddies. it's genetic.

[Nehnenqui]

Lol, Ruiz is always in the gym. He’s just naturally chubby.

I know tons of Mexicans that ain’t got the best body type like Ruiz but mop fit dudes up in street fights.

Boxing is not a body building contest.

Mikey Garcia is flabby too and he’s a Top 10 P4P fighter.

It's not genetics, it's eating trash. Nothing to do with race.
