Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: I Was Very Disappointed in Andy Ruiz

[Boxingfanatic75]

I don't know how you can say the shot that put Joshua down was slow.

I've just watched it about 10 times and although its difficult to contextualise it, I've tried to run it side by side with Wilder's KO of Breazeale and Ortiz, Joshua's KO of Martin and its close, Klitschko is the slowest of the three but he'd thrown a LOT more punches than Wilder or Joshua in the other fights.

One thing it was NOT is slow.

Also; Joshua v Klitschko was a war that Wilder has never been in, not even with Fury. Obviously, this is all my opinion but the footage doesn't lie.

EDIT: Fingers crossed for a War on 22nd Feb.

Good post good post

That’s funny, it actually shows your total lack of HW boxing knowledge. As good as his record is you’d think he’d be in top 10 all time HWs. In fact he doesn’t make top 15. He presided over the absolute worst garbage era in HW history. This isn’t even debatable actually. This is a known, widely reported, crystal clear fact. No reputable website has this man who fought garbage cans most of his career placed in the top 15. I’ll agree to the fact that he was extremely active and never ducked anyone but that’s about it. Go do some research and get back to me. If, that is you actually read and do any research.

Worst garbage era? This rookie crackhead does not realized Prime David Haye schooled wilder like a child in sparring and would beat any of the current champions, so would Povetkin ... Dude you know nothing about boxing stfu... Wlad was a unbeaten for 10 years and was a beast !!!’ dumb azz rookies better recognize..

Blame the money not Andy.It was the money that revealed his true self.All that money just made him lazy a compulsive eater and a party going attention whore.but like I said when the money runs out he'll be back on his grind lol

When I think I've read the ******iest comment on here, you come along and set the bar higher, or lower depending on how you're looking at it. Yes, it's not Andy's fault he got some money and became a lazy, party animal. It's the money. The money made him do it.

This reminds me of when Wilder supported Charles Martin and made that YT video with him before the Joshua fight.

Ruiz blew this fight for himself. He didn't train properly. If you cant even do that you don't deserve it.

Wilder should just fight Joshua for himself instead of investing his time and hope in others fighting him. Kind of weird Deontay!

I too blame Andy for not showing up in shape. But somewhere, it also comes down to his trainers and head coach also. Andy being in shape is one thing, but they were also lacking in game plan completely. Even an in-shape Andy (like in the first fight) would have lost to a moving Joshua.

Everyone talks about his fitness, but nobody talks about what the game plan was to fight a mobile Joshua? Its not like we saw a strategy where Andy's weight caused the problem....there simply was no plan for this type of fight. It seems they spent all their time practicing the same thing expecting the fight to be a repeat of what happened previously. Robles, it would appear, did not think such a thing could happen and had no alternate plan in place. Ruiz did not make any adjustments even during the match and just waited for AJ to tire so they could trade in the middle of the ring.

What was his camp advising him?

It certainly doesn't sound like you're blaming Andy. It sounds like you're blaming his team. Robles did an incredible job with Andy. Very few people thought he would have a chance against Joshua and he shocked the world. He got fat and lazy and lost the rematch because of that. His feet were stuck in mud all night. If he was in better shape, he could've closed the distance much easier. Yes, Joshua changed up the gameplan but Andy's camp expected that. They said multiple times before the rematch that they anticipated Joshua moving more and staying at a safe distance. Robles is NOT to blame for Andy not training properly and not even showing up for camp half the time. The blame is square on Andy. I don't know how anyone could think anything different.

I was hoping that someone would have said this! Exactly my thoughts.

If people can't read between these lines, they are as dumb as Deontay.

They know....they are only pretending.
They said hez the KO king. All the opportunities were there to dethrone the unified champ but he never took any.
Hez relying on Ruiz to do another magic in SA for the undisputed.

[OldTerry]

Hilarious. Yes Klitschko dominated a shit era. The division hasnt gotten any better since. You are now supporting the shit that has risen to the top. At least Wlad is debatable amongst some of the best HW's.

Robbie, right again! Joshua rose to the top.

You should try running after a chicken in a field and see how close you get to it,then try it with a 2 stone weighted vest on,andy just couldnt close the distance with that extra weight dummy

[Marvlus Marv]

Windy is spot on. Ruiz let us down. He sinned and even God is pssed off with him.

[Sid-Knee]

Wilder is only disappointed due to the fact that he thought he could beat Ruiz. Wilder now has to continue running like the coward he is after AJ got his titles back. He wants nothing to do with him because he knows he can't beat him. Just like he knows he can't beat a few fighters out there, which is why he's spent his entire "Career" ducking them.

Poor, poor weirdo coward, Deontay. Now you have to continue your campaign of delusion and smears. You pathological lying freak.
