Andy Ruiz a non puncher?? Really?
Ask Joshua’s ribs if that’s true.
The best thing that could have ever happened Andy Ruiz is losing his second fight with Anthony Joshua. The referee ended the fight saving Joshua’s career by ending the bout prematurely. Ruiz was about to tear him apart just as Fury was about to end Wilder’s career but Breland wisely saved his fighter only to be fired for it by the egotistical Wilder. Fury is liable to literally kill Wilder in his next match up with Fury. Joshua hasn’t got a prayer beating Wilder or Fury and if Ruiz actually has a champion’s heart he’s the dark horse in all of this. We’ll see because Ruiz didn’t show up for the rematch and if he takes what he’s learned and uses it he’s unstoppable. Fury is vulnerable for underneath. Wilder is vulnerable from his overreach up top and Joshua is vulnerable in his sides. Ruiz just lacks training discipline and can not only box but fight. The only other that can truly fight is Fury and he has a hard time punching down.
Ruiz is the dark horse. But only if he can train with severe disciple. If he does he will beat any of them. Otherwise it’s Fury. Fury basically has a Queensbury bare knuckle power/discipline grounding in his approach along with the speed and boxing ring sense of a champion middleweight. This makes him the formidable opponent he is. Wilder has one thing. The overhand right. Joshua has great hands and ring sense as well as exceptional feet. But a fight with Fury and a well oiled Ruiz would be worth seeing something like a Walcott vs Dempsey. In other words, truly remarkable and THAT would be good for all of us who love the sweet science.
What kind of rubish piece is this. Don’t let jealousy and hatred for a successful man cloud your reasoning. Michael Collins you can get in the ring with Joshua to prove your point.
An utterly biased piece. Bob Arum’s fighter Pulev was demolished by AJ last. Bob Arum knows that AJ is indeed an elite fighter.
AJs ring resume far outstrips any other current heavyweight.
As to being popular in the US where boxing is the 5th most important sport, AJ has proved he does not need it, as he is the most popular heavyweight by far. His fight purses and ppv numbers are far better than any other. In fact Fury and Wilder have improved their profiles on both pretending to want to fight him and then running away.
