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

Not true. I'm still a fan of Ruiz. He showed what he can do when he trains/fights in earnest in the 1st fight ... and he showed how mediocre he can look if he doesn't train in the 2nd.
Even terribly out of shape he hurt Joshua in rounds 4 and 8. There is always a dangerous man with heavy hands in Ruiz. His preparation for the rematch was not worthy of a pro. I think he admits this. He can change that.
But a bum? Never! No man that gets in the ring with an AJ, Wilder, or any of the pro HW's thru the years, and starts trading punches, is a bum. He DID knock AJ into next week previously. What does that make AJ, if a bum can do that?
Some of y'all have no proper respect for anyone (until someone knocks you in your head. Bet you clear up fast then).
There's no excuse for Andy's poor effort of preparation. But, he's not the first 30 yr. old to accomplish something great. then lose focus. At 30, in many ways he's still a kid. He will get wiser ... and tougher. He will mature.
But he's still a hard-hitting, dangerous guy, who DOES have a lot to be proud of, and CAN come back huge if he REALLY wants to put in the work ... just like all of us.
Hang your head for the poor effort Andy, but keep your head up. The guy that knocked AJ all around the ring was YOU TOO. Whichever guy you really want to be is ALWAYS within your reach.Comment

Nah Ruiz doesn't become #1 by fluking it out while Fury is around. He was never expected to win the first fight, and was expected to lose the rematch despite winning the first fight. Beating a guy you're supposed to beat after Fury gets a much more impressive win doesn't move you back into first. Sorry that needs to be explained.
I actually did add my opinion in an edit and another post. Sorry you take 15 minutes to reply to posts and miss things.
Way to breeze by Hearn and Hearn Sr confirming the deal too.
If Joshua and Fury can't meet up, then Joshua can't be #1. If he can't fight him, that doesn't mean he gets to shoot to first place. Nothing works that way. Should have taken the $50M and then this wouldn't even be an issue lol
How do you expect me to take anything you say seriously?
I actually already acknowledged the $50m but that the funds were questionable.Comment

Real talk pretty much across the board. I don't agree Fury "beat" Wilder though. He threw 13 more (pitter-patter) punches that Wilder ignored, meanwhile he had a couple partial-round naps on his back for his trouble. Can't give a guy a title for that ... pitter-patter punch-scoring or not.Last edited by doom_specialist; 12-13-2019, 10:01 AM.Comment

In regards to the $50M offer, you said it was unconfirmed, which is an outright lie. Hearn and Hearn Sr. both said the money was real, and Hearn Sr. bragged on Twitter that Joshua was smart for not taking it. Here ya go: http://twitter.com/BarryHearn/status...876971009?s=20
Fury beat an even better version of Klitschko than Joshua did, and he just showed Wilder how to box, and is going to do it again. The Gypsy King is #1, as he's shown that he'll go anywhere, fight anyone, AND beat them. Joshua doesn't take that away for jabbing and running against an even worse version of a guy that he was supposed to beat. Now he's going to go home and fight a mandatory next while claiming that nobody wants to fight him, while the true champs of the division rumble again next year.Comment

If I was Ruiz I would have faked being stunned and on wobbly legs then caught AJ when he came in. No way could AJ resist that temptation.Comment

What a complete and utter dumb kuntox! He and we know Ruiz deffo packs a punch AND has quick hands. Hmmm, what would one do to win I wonder? Maybe, just maybe the plan was not to trade big shots? Isn’t a different strategy employed as the loser going into a rematch? I wonder what ole p155y pants thinks of the clown show against the big klit throwing ZERO power shots and not trading with wilder? It’s interesting though (on another note) that Ruiz was unable to get through? It’s also interesting that arum thinks that a heavyweight should now trade punches and defy the object of the sport. Tony Joshua done a very good job and made it look pretty easy too. He would by now have realised that you can’t just go in a blast out everyone. He is being better looked after by the Hearns than ANY yank ponce scrounging promoter and intact, British too.
Well done AJ, just another new experience until the critics view that has no financial interest. Arum smells of urine.Comment
