Comments Thread For: Arum: Joshua's Performance Against Ruiz 'Was A Joke'

[Lopez_Boxing]

When is Wilder going to fight Ruiz for the PBC belt? We’ll find out how good Ruiz is then.

Dont know anything about that. BUT if youve watched boxing before and you seen ruiz fight then you know he isnt that good. According to you guys Ruizs best win is a lose to parker. Smh

It was. But it's funny watching AJ, Hearn, and AJ fans taking a victory lap while everyone else is saying that was not a good performance by AJ and he did just enough to get by.

After the fight Joshua's stock dropped and the consensus is Wilder and Fury are 1&2.

Translation: I know Ruiz threw the fight but I have to say it in code and call it a joke because I'm guilty of rigging a few fights in my day too!!! Pac Bradley. Oscar Tito. Floyd Castillo 2. Foreman Moorer. just for starters!!

I'm sorry, which style is the correct one?

a) lose every round with crappy style but eventually knock out mid-level comp.
b) use your extreme height, rely on 'high jinks' in the ring to provide entertainment that your defence first style doesn't provide.
c) be an old, never quite made it amateur, and get KO'd in your only two championship fights against the same guy
d) lose by taking drugs and not making it to the ring
e) have an iron chin and fast hands buffered by 100lbs of fat and laziness.

It so happens that I actually really like Wilder, Fury and Joshua and I think the heavyweight scene is great again in an 'anyone can beat anyone' way. I like to watch them all but they are all flawed. This hater crap just because Joshua boxed to protect his chin is just rabid favouritism. You kids need to get over all this WWE storyline crap and enjoy the fights. The more you buy into the 'storylines' the more they get used to avoid big fights. Marinate, wrong network, not worthy, A side, all that crap is the reason that we get given schitty fights.

AJ "Sugar Rayed" Ruiz. it's just that casuals have no clue about the sweet science and Bob knows that.

Arums right. People want to paint Ruiz like he is some top 5 monster, but he really is a top 20 bum. Beating Ruiz in ANY fashion isnt a great name on your resume. Running from him scared to engage is very telling where AJs heads at.

Top Rank were happy to paint Ruiz as a monster, and shouting that they were the people who knew it first, before the rematch tho...

Hindsight is 20/20, so now everyone is dumping on Ruiz again, and making out Joshua is a joke for not KO'ing the obese man.

Joshua rightly trained to make use of all his physical advantages, and did the right thing as his gas tank looked ***** due to all that muscle... What was he meant to do? Alter the plan he'd just spent 12 weeks mastering, all cause Ruiz was heavier..!?

Everyone's a hater unless they're making money off you in boxing.

I told you youd call him a bum after the fight. I said he wouldn't have a fan in the world. Thanks for making me look like Nostradamus.. 😂

Ruiz was a bum before the first fight, he was A Side Andy, the new HW superstar, after the first fight, and now he's gone back to being a bum again.

Welcome to Boxingscene, suckers!

The consensus is Wilder lost to Fury, and hes best win is a 40 year old with high blood pressure..

... On Dec 07, Arum said that Ruiz will beat AJ again... after AJ won, he said that the loss was obvious because of the overweight... now he tells it was a joke... OK, OK...
