    A prime and focused Bowe would've ruined Joshua.

    Right casual fan. Ted Lowry was still a 160 to 170 pound guy who kicked the crap out of 180 pound club fighter Rocky Marciano. This is a fact. But hey since 6'0 260 pound modern skilled and modern sized heavyweight Andy Ruiz beat Anthony Joshua we all know 5'10 180 club fighter Rocky Marciano could beat Joshua too.

    So is my auntie!

    The bottom line is that this guy wasn't even ranked in the top ten.

    Lol emotional? Because I told you that your little Italian TV hero was a bum? Are you going to cry? Does it hurt you? You need to believe your club fighter TV hero is more than he was because you have no life? It is okay? There are a lot of people like you out there who have no life.

    Where is the faster hand speed?
    The part where he neglects stance, footwork and form to throw short arm punches?
    That's a workout routine, not how people actually box.

    The part where he is using real boxing technique on the bag he certainly does not show faster hand speed than Marciano.

    Gennady Golovkin picked up and overpowered Andy Ruiz in a bear hug competition.

    They were the same height lmao being Obese doesn’t make you a better fighter in any way shape or form. And yes he’s obese by every definition of the word. Interesting fighter though...and FYI I’m no where near nursing home age just appreciate good boxing.

    Lol at those saying Ruiz being 80 pounds heavier than Marciano like it’s a good thing.

    He’s a fat slob who is in disgraceful shape for a professional athlete.

    Marciano and Dempsey copped no end of derision from some for struggling with the Willie Meehans and Don Cockells of this world yet now these same posters are defending Ruiz’ conditioning because he splattered a body beautiful modern giant in Joshua and thus shattered the myth of modern athletic superiority in prize fighting.

    Joshua’s loss is far more embarrassing than any of Marciano and Dempsey’s struggles with their tubby opponents given the physical advantages he possessed how he performed and what he squandered.
