Ruiz will need to be extra fit if fight is in UK. He will need explosive speed and agility to get around the ref who will be wedged in between protecting AJ.

All the cards will be stacked if he’s in the UK against A Sample Anthony.

Imagine how easily a fully fit version of Ruiz would destroy AJ. Or even a version of ruiz that wasn't 6 inches shorter.

I don't know, I think the fat has served him and his style well, he is immune to body shots, and allows him to keep a higher gaurd and exchange those looping bombs.

Who is that dude that got KTFO on your display?

Eventually 230 is more like it. Hire the best. You can’t turn fat into muscle. You can lose fat gain muscle. Hire best strength conditioning and nutritionist. No more excuses we are all Andy fans

He doesn't need to be in better shape - he took the Nigerian robots best shots, got up and proceeded to knock the robot down 3 times.

If anyone needs to improve - its Joshua NOT Ruiz.

... Ruiz best shape was 246 lb (back in 2013)...

Additional 1" on you cheeck will protect you better than +3" bicep muscle... or ANY MUSCLE, dumbass.
Fat is natural everyday protection while muscles must be strained and they don't work for protection when relaxed.

You just proved it with Joshua!

Yeah I think Ruiz should keep a similar shape. It's working for him. Imagine if he made himself ripped He would look a lot better - but would be a poor boxer.

As for Joshua - he should just stay how he is. That's just him. If he loses muscle he will lose power. He just needs to figure out why he is so bad at fighting smaller guys??
