So Joshua is going back to fighting Euro bums

[DreamFighter]

I caught a handful of Wilder fans saying Pulev should fight AJ instead of Ruiz who is not on his level .

Pulev has a better resume then Ortiz ,if he’s a joke then Wilder has no credible wins either as champion beyond Breazeale who is never going to be a top 5 guy and arguably not a 10 guy when Wilder fought him outside the WBC rankings .

100%.

its in fact no an "if"

Pulev isn't even rated according to Ring: https://www.******.com/ratings/?weightclass=272
I don't see why anyone would argue with Joshua vs Ruiz 3, did everyone forget that Ruiz finished AJ in their first fight and won a UD in the rematch, wouldn't that signify a 3rd and final fight?

Did you forget that Ruiz turned up looking a tub of lard on legs for the rematch and admitted that he hadn't train properly, then was dumb enough to grab the mic and shout ... "how about a trilogy?" after letting himself, his trainer, and his fans down like that?

There is Zero demand for AJ/Ruiz 3 right now. Ruiz needs earn himself another shot by getting in shape and beating another contender. Then a rubber match would make sense, but it makes no sense at all at the moment.

I don't like the idea of Joshua skipping mandos, he needs to clear them out, but, y'all have gone way too into Andy. Andy doesn't need UD wins or any bull**** like that. He should get a rematch. An embarrassing KO is only equalized by a lop-sided boxing lesson, not negated. Joshua needs to do it twice to prove he's better. All he's done is proven he learned and then ****ed off and didn't give Andy the chance to learn and come back too.


Y'all way too fan-y on this one. Joshua should fight his mandos and if a time comes when Joshua can fight a vol and the other boys are still busy an Andy rematch would be just ****ing fine. I'm not about to ***** because he's giving Andy a chance rather than a bum like Whyte or Miller.

They are 1-1 and both of them are one another's most embarrassing loss. The **** else you need? Getting off dem nutz is what.

How about fighting to see who is truly better? AJ got KO'd in their first fight because he had anxiety or whatever the reason was, Ruiz was overweight in the rematch, how about now, no excuses get in there and fight to see who is the best? Sounds logical to me, what doesn't sound logical is saying that AJ is # 1 HW now because he beat a guy who KO'd him in their first fight, that doesn't sound logical to me.

I know I’m late but just saw he was going to probably fight Pulev next.

Why not Ruiz III? Why not wait out the Fury Wilder winner?

Nobody wants to see him available those Euro frauds he’s used to fighting. Smh

Why not Ruiz III? Because there is no demand for it. Why is there no demand? Because Ruiz failed to train properly and AJ won going away.

Also, you use the term "Euro fraud" as if we haven't seen hype jobs from anywhere else in the world.

A fighter isn't automatically a fraud just because you haven't heard of him and his name is a little harder to pronounce.

Until Ruiz proves he can still get motivated, get the weight off, and train hard for a big fight, with all that dough in the bank, we know who is better. AJ schooled Andy, it wasn't even a competitive fight. Who the heck gets an immediate rematch after flopping as badly as that?

AJ dispelled the anxiety rumor and gave Ruiz full credit for his victory in the first fight and the rematch was the opportunity for both guys to get in there with no excuses to see who is better.

Both guys had ample opportunity to prepare; Joshua got fitter while Ruiz got fatter. Andy said all the right things ("I don't just want 15 minutes of fame", "AJ is gonna try to box me around but I'll be ready) but Joshua actually DID the right things.

With that said, I wouldn't mind seeing Joshua-Ruiz 3 IF Andy comes back and recaptures the form he showed in the first AJ fight.

So what you're saying is that you would have been okay if Ruiz had said, no to the immediate rematch with AJ because he needs to prove he can take a punch first?

There were many excuses, regardless of that, one can argue that AJ came in to the first fight 100% and so did Ruiz and Ruiz KO'd him. If there was no excuse for AJ in the first fight, would it be fair to say he was 100% because if he was, that would look even worse for him.

...why do people want Joshua to fight Pulev so bad yet when Grabomir did it...
