Comments Thread For: Joshua Trainer Fires Back at Andy Ruiz For Post-Loss Claims

[PotentialToast]

We should wish Andy Ruiz well. He is a great fighter and if he gets his weight under control, he is a danger to anybody. There are few heavyweights with the mobility of AJ. Ruiz v Whyte would be a fight worth paying for.

This Angel Fernandez guy is very mouthy. Hadn't even heard of him until he hitched a ride on the Anthony Joshua train.

He had a good rep in boxing circles pre AJ

Who did he work with before?

the thing is nobody likes excuses.

Nobody.

AJ is savvy and offered none. Because he knows it would alienate people.

Ruiz felt entitled somehow. Offered loads. Offered them whilst being fat and out of shape.

No, AJ had a team that gave 100 excuses instead

KO'd in training
late replacement
concussion problems
anxiety backstage
pressure from New York
bad travel arrangements.
punch from the gods
bad ref stoppage


name it.

"but Joshua never made one excuse. He took his loss as a man, on the chin."

BS!!!!

AJ offered up, via video and print, a ton of excuses and was still putting them out up to and including Dec.06,2019.

Like I stated before, I was a fan of AJ's but this whole ordeal post loss to Ruiz, exposed just how fake he is. And now I can't wait until he grows some balls and faces either Wilder or Fury - So that he can be humbled again.

Andy played himself! I'm totally disappointed with him! He can make it up by beating Kownacki or Ortiz!

I can understand that. I was disappointed in him too. I've cooled off doe. The guy is who he is. And it's a up & down guy. He's for sure gonna beat some notable guys in the future, but he's also gonna put on more sh^t shows as well.

Can you see Usyk beating Joshua? I don't think Pulev will get it done! I'm hoping Joshua drops the IBF and fights Usyk! I'm not impressed with Pulev at all!

I definitely don't hate Usyk's chances. Seen some odds that had him as a +160 dog which I think is a good bet although I suspect they'll go wider if the fight gets made. I think he's a problem for any HW. My main concern with him is what happens when he gets hit by a big puncher.

And nah I can't see Pulev doing much except going some rounds with AJ.

Who would you like to see Efe fight next? Is he too green for Breazeale?

I wouldn't put him in with Breazeale next. He's still young & gots time to grow. Specifically after getting dropped in his last fight I think I'd wanna slow him down a lil & try to work on his defense. So I wouldn't be looking to throw him in with anyone with much of a name unless it's a journeyman kinda name. Guinn still fighting? That might not be a bad fight to get him some rounds while allowing him to add some things to his arsenal. I hope he takes the next 6 or so months to work on some holes & his team just doesn't keep pushing him forward to bigger & better guys. Again they got plenty of time still with him. Efe vs DDD could be the next generation of HWs AJ vs Wilder fight if they play their cards right.

Personally I think Ruiz lost more because AJ fought the right fight rather than Ruiz not training properly.

It's debatable I wouldn't argue with you about that. I'd just fall on the side of Andy played the bigger role in his L than AJ did. I wouldn't suggest AJ was merely a pawn in his own victory but to me it's 51% or more Andy's fault.

[OnlytheTruth]

I don't know why Andy or anybody else would want to fight AJ, considering how Andy got treated after KOing AJ. He never got paid for it, never got the champs share. Hearn did nothing but treat Andy like a slave as if he owned him. Schemed against and humiliated him. Turned what should have been a happy occasion into a pain in the neck.

Ruiz is the one that signed the original fight contract which included the rematch. Hearn didn’t make Ruiz sign it. Ruiz took the opportunity, won, made millions. Name a ‘slave’ that became a Unified World Champion and made $10m+???
