Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz: I Know Joshua's Flaws, He's Not a Good Boxer

[Zelda]

Why ?

Don’t understand this logic ...

You can't ....because there isn't one!

[OldTerry]

How dare he be proud of becoming a world champ and coming off the canvas to dominate and stop a guy that was a heavy favorite, appeared to be in better physical shape, and much taller. How dare he be proud of becoming the first Mexican American heavyweight champ. I hope he gets what he deserves for that !

He deserves $50 million.

i cant believe that someone who defeated klitcschko, Parker Whyte and povetkin cant defeat Ruiz.

Joshua should not be defensive. He should use his heavy offense as a defense

You can't believe your own eyes? Will you believe it if he does it again?

[OldTerry]

I feel that a lot of people are unnerved at how Joshua has taken this defeat, and just moved on. You have Tyson Fury begging Joshua to retire, or trying to convince himself that he will disappear. Then you have Wilder getting all brave, and kicking a man while he is down 'Although I do think Wilder is the most dangerous heavyweight etc'.

It is only really Dillian Whyte who was straight up and respectful during the aftermath of Joshua's defeat.

'I still believe that Joshua will win the rematch, and go on to beat all of the other big boys' I have no doubt in my mind that he destroys Tyson Fury 'But Deontay Wilder is a different ball-game'

The truth is that everything about Joshua's true ranking as a top heavyweight has been brought into question by the way he lost to Ruiz and his avoidance of Ortiz and Wilder. Until he fights Ruiz again and then one or two of the others these questions won't be answered.

[OldTerry]

Yeah I agree. Only for heavyweights, because of the natural size, strength and power disadvantages fat fighters have at other weights because of the weight classes above.
But with heavyweight, above around that 220lb mark, being fat isn't a big disadvantage. They can all punch at that weight, and being fat doesn't necessarily make someone slower, certainly not handspeed wise.

I don't think it would benefit Ruiz to lose a lot of weight. A much lighter version would just be dwarfed by Joshua. He may gain in the foot speed department, but I don't even think he's that slow on his feet for the heavyweight's of today. Only Fury of the current top guys has great feet.
Joshua has always had slow, plodding feet anyway, so for this particular fight, Ruiz's feet are fast enough as they are.

I agree, Don't fix what ain't broke!

He is SLOOOOW and STIFF and very easy to get inside on but what is disappointing with AJ the most is that with all those muscles he is WEAK and SOFT when it comes to inside fighting...he has no inside game which is very disappoint and which is why I think a Change from McCracken is needed

He needs to be trained to be NASTY on the inside. Try getting inside with Lennox Lewis and watch what would've happened to you...



These fighters just don't stack up with the Legends as far as Skills, Work Ethic or just overall Mentality

You don't stand in the ring and smile and hug the guy that just defeated you So AJ need to be trained to be NASTY! You can be classy outside of the ring but in that ring you should be trying to DESTROY the guy in front of you. Then after you whip his ass then you show him all the respect in the world!

[Digital Mouth]

Finally someone said it.

The fact is AJ has always won his fights on brute strength alone.

This time he was up against someone with real skills, a warrior at heart, someone who when he gets knocked down gets back up like a true fighter should and smashes you back

AJ can bounce back but it's gonna take a lot of work and with 80 MILLION pounds in the bank I think it's fair to say AJ has lost his eye of the tiger.

Back to basics for AJ

[twosweethooks]

AJ ,his dad and Hearn should be grateful that it Was NOT Wilder in there or it would have gone bad REAL BADDDD!! STRETCHER BADDDD

I'm only labeling in my system this writer an idiot for his constant methods in continuing to LIST 'IBO'. What....that's what he is.. "A Idiot". Or I'm a Idiot for reading him.
Except, I only am reading very top of article far as that one goes.
ALL PERSONS WHO ARE TRUE TO THIS SPORT REJECT THAT ORGANIZATION. Those that don't don't because their is some personal gain in it for them OR.."green novice tenderfoot" describes the person far as their understanding THE COMPREHENTION OF THIS SPORT.
Now..."YUP" FIRST &major FOUR been FOOLISH to allow IBO come up ['NOT' bringing down Wlad. K. NOT bringing down GGG of-a-more recent].
IF you (and you and you) ['YOU' who can read this] don't know already then......LET ME FILL YOU IN:
For years the IBF WBC WBA WBO have been inter linking their web sites. No 'IBO'. No WBU. No WBF. None of the at least SIX MORE I COULD NAME.
That means one thing: "We are working together".
WBC WBA IBF WBO.
March/2007 I Founded the UWBCAFO-I in order to ECHELON *the- whole- of the Sport.
Second echelon ['2e'] being a FIVE USA STATES POWER. First Rule of Thumb: "Echelons Don't mix". *****Truth in Advertising. My interest is to BUILD OVER THE CROSSOVER. Right now/how it's been "Boxing" as whole doing only ONE THING RIGHT ['Kidding'! : )] that is their AIM for own FOOT IS GOOD ! : ) ["Gun/bulletts/" Get it??]
My work is with the Men's league alone ["Women's Boxing" none UWBCAFO-I *restrictions]. Too: we control only '2e' potentials at "world levels". WBU could conceivable put on a STATE LEVEL TITLE FIGHT ON SAME CARD NOT GONNA BOTHER US. Though, we will stop them far as "propaganda".
UWBCAFO-I Fights two other boxing industry ILLS besides. 1) the duel tri concept. 2) 'C' wt- weight set.
I can authorize title fights also at H (C*) LH SM M JM W JW L JL F B F JrFl & Mn. [JF/JB "step up" at American Boxing Federation (ABF)/ABF-International (ABF-I)].
I AM FRIEND with Dean Smith [ABA] James Hagler [ABA] Kit Coughran [formerly ABA] Paul Johnson [ABA] but....ABA not like me at all. They do "activity" and don't pay attention to the nuences of the Sport. Me: I'll authorize a fight (1) AND.... (2) authorize the Showcase. You are not gonna continue with ME if you are not-interested in "getting it right".
Notice EVERY MAJOR PROMOTER NOW IS "SOLD OUT". How could anyone who LOVE THE SPORT SUPPORT A "CLOWN" such as a Manuel Charr?
We are in the process of destroying the Sport.
The ABF/ ABF-I been in existence only one year. Am working on my "constitution" that whole time.
Jimmy Dorsey ("Oklahoma")[two Jimmy Dorsey's in my FB. Both are boxers too. Funny. Jimmy II is in Florida. He very "COOL GUY" TOO. Big numbers as amateur and 2-0 pro. Once gave Tony Tucker good 'match'] Oklahomian JD is my interim president at ABF. [We meet since some years ago at "letters"/Jerry Quarry Foundation. TJQF "torn up" right now. Virus.]
At fb: my name "The Blade". Look at Oct. 1, '91 Vinny Paz undercard 4r. pick my name.
BoxingScene =aught= "control" that 'crap' but they ARE NOT.
Few years ago Nigel Collins was ed-in-chief at RING. Guy...."have all bad" tactic in declaring RING KING. He needed to be knowing where to DRAW THE LINE not...."only declare it all useless" though, with this non sensical "duel-tri" concept now THAT/IS exactly where BOXING HEADING.
WBC WBA IBF WBO need to work together.
[WBA Pap was legend administrator but..the SON is weak]
IBO junk.
