http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=151893&cat=boxer At 26-0 this is just ridiculous... Why won't they match him up with anyone half decent?
Because they know his chin is made of glass. He should have gone for the NFL or NBA like the other American "heavyweights".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aHGSsjqckw Right now he's saying he's best at 256, and didn't feel as good at 246 lbs. He already went down 40 lbs from the start of his career. With a good nutrionist he might make the 230s, but he got a very heavy built, he'll never look like Haye or Holyfield. The combinations he throws are magnificient. He also got a very good trainer on his side. http://articles.ivpressonline.com/2012-12-13/andy-ruiz_35804857
When a young fighter is being protected to this extent, his handlers will have a reason for it and it's usually not a reason they'll shout off the rooftops. In this case, getting knocked down by the likes of Harold effing Sconiers might give one an indication of what that reason might be..
Elijah McCall would be 26-0(26) vs the resume of Deontay Wilder. And yeah, Ruiz is ****ing legit. I know ppl are saying he needs to lose weight, but look at that handspeed. And he's got good conditioning as well. Some ppls are saying he needs to get down to 230ish, others, haters are saying eh should fight at LHW or CW. But IMO, he's what, 260ish vs McCall...........if he got down to 245, he'd be ripe to challenge for a title.
