I'm not, I knew Ruiz was talking rubbish about the reasons for weighing in so heavy but a lot of people thought he was playing mind games with his weight. You even had some people saying nonsense about his sombrero weighing 5-10 lbsBut why are you just now realizing this? We've seen it for years, but in terms of big fights, we saw it with Manny against Floyd:
Roach: Manny's going to knock him out in 6 rounds, we've been preparing for this for YEARS!
Manny: I feel better than ever! God will deliver him unto me!
Bob Arum: You have to understand, I was his promoter for 10 and a half years, I know, I've seen slippage, I've never seen Manny punch this fast!
** After the fight **
Manny: My shoulder...
Bob Arum: Well, there were some injuries and we don't know how that affected the fight, so
Roach:

I’m sure that cash is gonna melt like crazy. If you give me 10 million, I’ll have 30 millions in ten years time. But clowns like this simply blow it all.Comment

If what you say is true, that is a serious crime that will send both Hearn and Ruiz to prison for a long time. I don't believe Hearn would risk it. But, whether deliberate or not, that only underscores my point, that Andy Ruiz, cheated and disrespected the public by coming in ill-prepared.Comment

You can jump on Ruiz for being out of shape, but truth is even the version of him who won the title would struggle with this version of AJ (and im not a biased AJ fan).
The best version of Ruiz would simply be too slow of foot and too short to get to the stick and move AJ we saw yesterday- especially in that massive ring.
We can get angry all we want about his weight, but even if he came in at 250 his natural limitations wouldve kept him as an underdog to the taller, faster, stick and move fighter.Comment

Of course you would. Everyone on boxing scene is a financial genius.
Or a doctor. Or a lawyer. Or a fitness guru.
Party On, Andy!!!Comment

Ruiz is getting the last laugh on all of us. He is taking his ample rear end and laughing all the way to the bank to cash the check that he did not earn.Comment

Canelo got duped along with the rest of us. He travelled all the way to Saudi Arabia to attend the fight in support of Andy Ruiz. Little did he know that Ruiz did not prepare. As you point out, that is the antithesis of the way Canelo prepares for a fight. He has to much respect for the sport, his opponents, the public and himself to not prepare.I honestly don’t think Ruiz cares if he won or lost. He went from a thousandare to a millionaire overnight. Win or lose his profile was raised and he’ll get a few more Haymon paydays.
Makes you respect someone like Canelo who hit it big very young but still is dedicated and works hard every fight.
You have guys like Ruiz and Buster Douglas on one end and then the Bhop’s, Floyd’s, and Canelo type guys on the other.Comment
