Sounds good, but I dont think the contract he signed says he can call anything, unfortunately.

May the best man win the rematch!

New York only made sense because the opponent was supposed to be Miller. I say take it to Las Vegas.

Ruiz can say whatever he likes, he's locked into a contract.

The idiot Mexican/Americans will lap this up though when the fight is MSG.

Really getting sick of this guy now, he's thrown away the humble persona and is starting to talk like Canelo

[P4Pdunny]

stay humble Ruiz

Well said Ruiz well said! You are the man now and you dictate to Lucifer Hearn the way you want things to go and where. Glad to see you joined Al Haymon and PBC!

Andy Ruiz on Joshua Rematch: I Call The Shots, We're The A-Side!

Andy, Andy, Andy....you don't become a A-side simply because you win a belt.

Saul Alvarez and Anthony Joshua were A-side before they won belts because -

1. They sell out arena.

2. They do good PPV numbers against a broomstick

3. The sanctioning bodies kisses their a$$.


Beside you signed a rematch clause, I know that Andy lawyers can actually read...Hearn will sue him and tie up Ruiz career for years.

You are not a A-side, honor your contract, beat Joshua again and then you can "brag" about how great you really are.

Most important match of both their careers

People would respect Eddie if he were self made and didnt have a father who plug him into the fight game.

Hearns "success" is largely attributable to the actions of two other men (AJ, his father). All Hearn has done is attach his name to both men and be a overpaid hype man.

If he conducted himself with more class acted like an English gentleman then Hearn would be on better ground with fans.

Haymond has Hearn by the balls. Even if AJ beats Ruiz, Wilder will take the belts from AJ. Ruiz/AJ 2 will be another war and there is no guarantee a third fight wont be required by fans if AJ eeks out a decision in in fashion.

Anything short of AJ "destroying" (no pun intended) AR and a trilogy may be needed to determine who's the better man. 2-3 wars with AR wont leave AJ in the best shape to deal with Wilder.

Unless Ortiz tags Wilder I dont see Fury having any brutal wars with Wilder, meaning Wilder will come to the fight relatively fresh while AJ will have had to take heavy damage to get his belts and respect back.

As far as AR's A-side claims. He's effing correct. He's the most popular boxer in the world right now. The Latino fan base is >>>>>> the UK. Andy is popular in Mexico and the US. Thats a half a billion people.

People in the UK arent gonna pay more than their usual (£20) ppv fee to see a once defeated AJ who was pummelled in his last fight. So there isnt any extra money in the UK than usual.

Keep dreaming about a trilogy. Once Josh sparks him out. He’ll go back to being irrelevant.
