    Ruiz is DONE

    He had his 15 minutes of fame but as many asked, "is he letting it all go to his head?"

    Wlad Klitschko said after Fury's implosion that success tests a man...it tested Ruiz and the Mex/American failed miserably. Not only was he in the worst shape of his life, he lied through the press tour about how well he was training, about the weight he was losing, about the tactics he and his team had in place.

    The guy did nothing but walk around the ring eating jabs and right hands and accumulating cuts and bruises. There was no point, not even a single minute of a single round where he was competitive. Not one.

    Ruiz will be remembered as Douglas, as Rahman, as McCall...so much for all that talk, they are one hit wonders. It is sad because Ruiz tries his best to play the nice, humble guy yet eats all day and parties all night. All about family though

    The man is done.

    He was way over rated after the first fight anyway. Reality has finally dawned on many and it's nice to see.

    Ruiz is a decent heavyweight who has a good chin and can **** at close quarters given the chance but no more than that.

      He was hungry when he got the first fight at short notice. Spent the time between the first and second fights over-indulging and stuffing himself with tacos and enshiladas. Then spent twelve rounds eating jabs. The man is always either hungry or eating.

        Was Ruiz hungry before the first fight? It's not like he ever bothers training at the level of top athletes and as I posted in my prediction for the rematch, Ruiz can not go distance and remain active with his punches. He couldn't against Parker in his 3rd most high profile fight and a world title fight at that. In the first AJ fight he came in against a guy who had prepared for a different opponent and probably took things too lightly. Now he came up against the legitimate heavyweight champion of the world.

        The title can be a curse or a gift...

          Joshua is a stiff Euro robot who (1) got KTFO and (2) came to run and survive in the rematch.

          Brit fans are the most delusional. Empire leaves its stains.

              He's not done, there's plenty of good fights for him.

              Fury takes him to school.

              He could beat Deyonce if he takes his power. He could be in great fights against others in the division too.

              I don't think he could ever beat Fury or AJ again but he's got a chance against anyone else.

                He'll suit as a PBC cherry for Wilder in the future to make Beyonce look a killer.

                Would probably go all wrong though, even last nights fat Andy destroys Widler.

                  Not necessarily, he just needs to lay off the burritos and Tecate in between fights. He's got skills speed for a fat guy but he overdid it this time.

                    Dont agree, a chin like that has always been OP in the heavyweight division, he has other good attributes too. It depends on how comfortable he gets from this second huge paycheck. If he stays motivated, he'll have plenty more 7 figure pay days and he will definitely be a factor, IF he stays motivated
