    ANDY RUIZ JR started boxing at the age of seven...

    ... but was made to fight 12-year-olds because he was so chubby...

    ... Joshua only began boxing in 2007, when he was like 18 years old...

    You can tell in ring, ruiz is more nuanced with his overall technique.

        ... guys like Ruiz and Fury are 'old school' -- they started early...

        ... while AJ or DW started while 'grownups'...

          This is why I ticked the experience box in favour of Ruiz, you cannot teach experience.

            Green K sent!...

            ... exactly why I posted this here!...

            ... it was more about "boxing overall" than about Andy Ruiz -- I guess no one can change some 'fundamentals' in this sport -- not even if AJ will "win" this fight...

              Yep, AJ was playing Fight Night on his Playstation when Ruiz was sparring grown men.

                    Doesn't really go for much when you've been training for such a long time, quality over quantity. Besides didn't Sergio Martinez start very very late on in his life, he was beating some pretty tough guys who likely started boxing from a very young age.
