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

[Breno G]

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.

Jesus Christ, someone is sane here!
I'm speechless

When's joshy gonna fight Fury...well to hell with it...when's he gonna fight Ortiz lol...have fun with Pulev..I'm sure that's the kind of boxing matches you guys enjoy

Killing them...

If Arum was AJ's promoter he'd be praising him but Arum got a job as a rival promoter he isn't giving credit outside his stable.

Has Klitschko been retired long enough to put him back in the ring and call it a great win?

Even now, Wilder still wouldn't fight Wlad.

"the only way that he could possibly lose that fight is if he traded with Ruiz and got caught"

This. I think Ruiz, even in his terrible shape, could have won by trading punches. Ruiz has great chin, AJ's is quite bad. Ruiz has faster hands and is much better in throwing combos.

AJ had to run, relying on his height and incredibly fit body. Ruiz is almost as big (fat?) as Erich Esch.

AJ was annoying in his performance since he was simply evading. Too bad.

I hope a huge punch can land on him, even if he goes on with this style. Pulev is again much shorter, but fitter than Ruiz.

Yes, asking when AJ is going to fight Ortiz is pretty funny, but not the way you intended it to be.

[Lopez_Boxing]

If AJ was Arum's fighter he would had said that it was the best performance ever in a HW fight.

Sugar ray Leonard.... But we would also say bob was full of shlt

[James Hunt]

Lmao. World class fighters dont have to beat Ruiz like that. That's the point he is trying to make. Smh..you sound like a casual. Arum is saying there are 15 guys that could have run, jabbed, clinched ruiz to a victory.

Nah, you're just butthurt cuz that little fat fücker lost and the belts went where they belong.

[Fire4231]

AJ did what he had to under extreme pressure, but these UK man fans as usual are over representing the win. We saw a guy that still looked very vulnerable and did not appear to be the KO artist we once celebrated. An out of shape Ruiz didn’t look hurt at any time of the fight and he was hit flush on many occasions.

Although it is a smart thing to do, Pulev is a crap fight. Stop pretending he is a killer and that anyone outside the UK will be watching this. The real hypocrisy is idiots pretending Luis Ortiz (Most ducked at Heavyweight) is weak when top fighters duck him and these Hearn arranged Mandatories wouldn’t last 5 rounds with him.

We even see you guys talking about hiding JOSHUA and the belts from outside promoter better ranked fighters. I have to ask what part of the sport is this?

Hearn can keep making up fake sound bytes but nothing resonates like truth and performance. JOSHUA can keep fighting Bums and Matchroom’s less deserving fighters to keep smaller checks coming but it will just make him obsolete to the rest of the world. I hope he finds his old form so we can once again rank him amongst the very best. But until JOSHUA shows us he is a killer against top competition (not generated competition like Usyk) he is just a guy recovering from a bad loss who is protected enough hold the belts hostage. Stop preventing great fights. Let’s see them.

Youre a god dam liar too. I really dont give a dam. Its crazy it affects some of you guys so much. May the best man win.

You must have cried when AJ lost. But you better give that little fat fcker respect. He did make AJ quit and had AJ running for 12 rounds.
