Ok so Ruiz is a bitter b for not taking responsibility for his own eating disorder
Canelo with the burn! Ouch
GGG continues his bumquest and fans don’t mind. “You see how GGG knocked out Steve Urkel?! Man that was brutal!”
Wilder be careful! AJ can use roids in Saudi Arabia and Hearn is in hood with them
Manny is a true warrior! Second best only to Floyd in this and the last era!
Manny is not second to Floyd mate. Sorry but the pacman is an all time great, Floyd wont really be remembered in 50 years and thats the truth
Lol! Floyd beat Manny and Marquez easily and will never be forgotten by boxing fans! It is a no brained that he’s greater than the men he beat
Jack Johnson,100 yrs ago Rocky Marciano 60 years ago Ali 55 years ago history is never erased lol
What makes u think AJ is juicing up or are you just a an AJ hater?
Love AJ just don’t trust corrupt Saudi government to adhere to drug testing standards. AJ is my third fav heavyweight fighter behind fury and wilder
Not taking away anything from Ruiz from beating AJ in a shocking upset, but he was a one hit wonder and will never come close to beating AJ again.
Also, Anyone think Julio cesar Chavez Jr needs mental help? I do.
Manny Pacquio turned pro 25 years ago today? Talk about Legend!
People respond to stimulation or excitement in sports. One-hit-wonder or not, Ruiz will be long remembered for that moment of fame beating the tar out of Joshua in the first fight when his name comes up in the future. As for the snooze-fest second fight, I have forgot about it already. You get the picture…
Yeah…i get the picture,ibget that you are simply put,an AJ Hater lol. I bet you were willing to bet the house on Andy winning. Instead,AJ took Any to school and showed how easily it was to beat him. Stop hating man,some of the greateat of all time has lost and came back to avenge loses. Stop diminishing what AJ did,he lost,he came right back in a rematch and reclaimed his title. Andy fat ass took being HW champ lightly and got handled,plin and simple.
I think it equals out, no? How? Ruiz took AJ to school in the first and busted him up. Plain and simple… In the second fight, AJ returns fire with a simple boxing match that some of us fell asleep in. Yup, I watched both matchups. You tell me to stop hating and preach your advice? I think calling Andy a fat a%^ is not a well-liked comment. Does the word “hypocrisy” hit ya in any way? All of us are entitled to our opinions and feedback from fights. That’s what makes this sport alive today. However, your mini-pedestal preaching about stop hating is limited in my book since your name-calling is no different than a catalyst for hate.
I don’t think that jccjr needs mental help he just lacks the mental toughness to be a boxing warrior. He’s still kick 95% of normal guy’s asses
As for Ruiz’s comment/endeavors, it’s not the trainer’s fault when you eat and misguide your weight on your own behalf in preparation for a fight. Any decent trainer with common sense knows his/her fighter is not allowed to abuse food or ethanol to get ready for a fight. In fact, many hire a live-in dietitian to prepare meals weeks before a fight.
Chavez Jr. is a has-been and should not return to the ring. Again, here we go with discipline issues much like Ruiz not taking fights seriously. Maybe Chavez Jr suffers from Affluent syndrome being a spoiled brat.
Wilder and Joshua fighting already being talked about? Say what? Wilder has to get thru Fury next in my opinion. Unless something is a conspiracy theory we don’t know about! LOL
Ruizs’ trainer is the very least of his problems.
Dicipline and effort outside of the ring should be his focus. Ruiz is so far out of fighting shape/condition it could take at least 12 months to be ready for another fight.
But then again, poor condition has never stopped him from fighting in the past.
Remember he is 1-2 against live competition. The rest of his career is masterful matchmaking and promoting by his former promoter.
Yes he can fight, has a good chin and decent power, but unless he makes changes ho himself, there are many hvwts that can currently beat him.
Very disapointing
Re: Ruiz,
The 2 leading contenders are Teddy Atlas & Congressman Jerry Nadler.
He will either be training to be a champion under Teddy, or training at McDonald’s with Nadler.
The results are yet to come.
In order for Ruiz to have trained himself it means that his trainer never showed up for the training sessions. Somehow I find that hard to believe.
Omg does Jr. really think that Canelo will fight him again? What makes Jr. think he deserves that fight anyways after he quit against somebody that Canelo just beat?
