hmm, he is out of shape. The vid they showed of him a few years ago showed a still not ripped guy , but fifty lighter….fat guys lose. The lsat guy he barely beat was fat too. This time it caught up to him. Ruiz then him. Lesson in this kids…
Actually Ruiz around 250 is hard to beat, Andy still looks fat at 250 but that’s his body type he is never going to be ripped.
With all due respect, Ruiz had zero wins over world class HWs prior to the AJ upset. It’s more likely that the obese Ruiz pulled an upset over a vastly over-rated AJ in a good performance. There is absolutely no evidence, besides the upset in the first Joshua fight to support making lofty claims for Ruiz.
Ruiz has decent, not exceptional hand speed, and on occasion is capable of putting together good combinations, but is otherwise a typical over-hyped, over-blown (literally) HW in an era of over-hyped HWs. Ruiz is still obese at 250, and would still look flabby if he came in at 215. That doesn’t preclude him from eventually being a quality, world class HW, but with one upset over a quality opponent (that was easily avenged) doesn’t make him anything special.
