Comments Thread For: Ruiz: What I Weighed Doesn't Matter; Wanted To Be Little Heavier

[sapo13]

No one is suggesting that he try and see Deontay Wilder at 220lbs, lol.

Ruiz could drop a stone from the 262lbs that he weighed in April, and not be at risk of the fluid around his brain being affected.

You think Ruiz is dehydrated at 260lbs+? lol

no your jumping to far ahead, when he first stated that he wanted to lose weight for the next fight, i thought he was gonna lose alot of weight, this was before, i thought he was gonna try and lose an extreme amount of weight. but thats not what happened, but that was my first thought several months ago when he first mentioned it!!

When a guy comes in at 284 pounds... you don't stand in front of him.

And you missed the time AJ spent hitting him. He might have moved, but he did plenty of punching too. More than Wilder threw against Fury or Ortiz.

At the top level - you don't stand and trade. None of the top three do that - they just all have different ways of staying away from their opponent.

If you want to talk about top level boxing, Joshua should not be in the conversation.

If you watch and understand boxing, see what Lomachenko, Usyk and Crawford do every fight.
They box intelligently and in course of the fight find ways to break their opponent down, not run away from...

Do you know that every other weight division in boxing doesn't have that weight
variance as a factor?

97% of all pro boxers come on point, and coming in lighter or heavier is very much disadvantageous.

Oh I get it, you wanted Joshua to fight Ruiz fight to give Ruiz the best chance of winning because he came into the ring as a fat F and couldn't move.

As oppose to Joshua fight his fight meaning staying out of range of the faster hand Ruiz and jabbing him to death and coming into range to pop him with the occasional right hand, only to step right back out of range before the tub of lard slow feet could make up ground...thus giving Joshua the best chance of winning.


Yes, I see your point. 😉

Yeah, whatever AJ did in the 2nd fight was not boxing and definitely was not fighting.

Ruiz was still fat in their 1st fight, and still knocked out AJ.

Weight is just one consideration. Nobody talk about Ruiz not training well, not cutting off the ring, not going to the body.

Good luck to both.
We'll see what happens to both boxers over time.

Apparently 3 professional boxing judges beg to differ.

An armchair critic calling a heavyweight world champion with 3 belts a disgrace lol

If ruiz is a disgrace, what are you? A piece of shlt's piece of shlt? How many world championships do you hold?

LMAO. another agenda based post. If you think Ruiz coming in at 283 was not a disgrace then your an idiot. Or MUCH MORE likely its just a way to pump up AJ. I think its pretty clear it both. See ya dumb sh it.

Why do fellow fight fans compare what a paid pro does with what a fan does ?!???

Fans, STOP WHITE KNIGHTING THESE MILLIONAIRES.

Even within THE BOXING WORLD, Andy is being slammed. Even Andy says he should have trained ''harder'' (if at all). He was a disgrace and will have to do much to change that.

Throw out the alphabet titles and silly political sanctioning bodies and vast amounts of money from promoters, etc.

Just look at the boxing itself. Joshua's last fight was a disgrace.

Look at Crawford's last fight. That's what a champion does.
