So sick of this pathetic HW division. Not even any ambition with these guys. A chance to knock off the No. 1 HW and you come in fattest of your career. Absurd. Wilder and AJ at least show they work for it, as limited as they are in talent. That's what puts them above this pitiful fray. At least it's on DAZN and not $100.
This. Just seen how fat Ruiz is today. Ruiz seems to be content with collecting his $3 million purse.
Last time I checked, an equally fat boxer called 'Mihai Nistor' steamrolled, blitzed, dropped and stopped Anthony Joshua, not too long ago. So yes, it might go against common intuition, but these so called 'athletic' looking heavyweights with Hollywood physiques have a decent track record of getting upset by fat chubby dudes.
No one said otherwise and that's not really the point is it The point is, tubby has the opportunity of a lifetime and he came in the fattest he's been since the first year of his career 9 years ago.
I get that, and that wasn't my point either. My point is, does it really matter how a boxer looks, if he is more effective than his opponent who has a better body (as we're finding out tonight with Ruiz-AJ)?
Perhaps it's time to reevaluate your position. Maybe fat helps in the HW division for shorter guys, more than you think?
