I feel sad for Ruiz. He threw it all away!

[Ray*]

Sad? Nope, he isn’t as dedicated as he should be. And the money he got from the first fight didn’t help him at all. The fact that everyone was telling him he would beat Joshua easier also doesn’t help.

It is funny that people will praise his heart and question Joshua's.

I respect both men for living their lives and having the balls to step in the ring. I won't question their heart but I will question the mentality of a fighter who goes into the biggest fight of their career without training properly.

Totally agree, got to question is mentality. This is the biggest night of his life, not 6 months ago but this one. Retain all the belts and you are free from the rematch clause, you would have more offers from PBC to fight for the undisputed belts. But nope, he turned up fat and unmotivated, that was a bit of a shock to me.

Now everyone knows why Top Rank dumped him. They got tired of his laziness. He got lucky in the first fight and in the rematch he came in fatter than the first fight.The guy is an embarrassment much like Arreola was. Two guys that just could not stop shoveling food in their mouths.

He did not even try. His entire game plan was that he expected lighting to strike twice.

This here represents fans....

When Fat Andy beat AJ, AJ was shot and Andy was the next Ali.

Now look at how these guys are perceived !

[Roy Keane]

His own fault. He looked dangerous every time they traded but he was to fat to get near AJ. Ruiz at 240lbs walks AJ down and KOs him IMO.

[Curtis Harper]

Ruiz basically admitted he was totally unmotivated.

Hard to be motivated when you wear silk moo moos

You don't get paid that kind of money for 36 minutes of work. You get it for weeks of work culminating in a fight.

Ruiz took the money without doing the work.

Fair enough, good luck to him. If he's happy then it's not for me to judge.

I don't see anyone giving him another shot though. Would you invest in a big fight just to have him turn up like that?

He'll have to prove himself on the undercard with small purses now.

And all he had to do was not gorge himself.

He has always been fat and lazy. I have seen just about all of his fights and in none of them was he in shape. I saw his first fight and he was fat and out of shape, but he had very quick hands so he looked promising with everyone saying just wait and see how good he is when he gets in shape, but it never happened. He is grossly overweight in all of his fights. At least Arreola got in shape at times, Ruiz is never in shape and he actually refuses to get in shape.

Yes he won the title, but it was due more to AJ than him. The difference between Ruiz and Areolla is Arreola fought a much better champion, Vitali K. and Ruiz fought a much weaker champion and that is why he won.

Ruiz was a Cinderella story. Midnight came early for him. He regressed back to his over achieving self. He seemed overmatched from the get go as he had trouble closing the gap and distance on Joshua.

Anthony kept Andy at bay circling and moving around the ring behind a long left stiff jab while landing several hard right hands behind them also. Moreover, when Ruiz eventually did get close AJ very smartly clinched and tied him up immediately.

As much as I hate to admit it. Ruiz doesn't a chance against the version of AJ who showed up on Saturday night. He gave up to many physical advantages to Joshua in size, height, reach and power.

This is nothing, but a straw-man argument. No one said Ruiz was the next Ali or AJ was shot. That is made-up nonsense. My opinion on Ruiz has always been the same, because I have followed his career and have known how unmotivated he is. Yes, he beat AJ, but that was more due to AJ than Ruiz. Actually, Ruiz fought a much better fight against Parker. Last night he was so fat he actually lost all his quickness and reflexes which were his only talents.
