    Exactly. Joshua had a lot more muscle than anybody. What good did it do him?

    Ruiz is an effective pressure/counter fighter. Rocky was a great pressure/counter fighter.

    It’s impossible not to see the example of Ruiz over Joshua as a possible comparison.

    You are certainly incoherent when it comes to boxing history.

    I have the comparison with the Walcott and Moore kd's neither of which imo were as hard as Joshua's punch.

    He was NOT a great pressure fighter at modern HW, forget about SHW!

    STOP
    THESE
    BOLLOCKS!

    Rocki is like 3 to 5-0 at that game! You can throw that 49 - 0 in the trash can by then!

    Next time I want to know who is going to win a fight I'll look up their shoe size.
    Would it come under ," The Tale Of The Toe?"

    “Keeping hands up” has no bearing of defensive capability. The greatest defensive fighters who ever lived fought with low guard. It’s SKILL not size, not reach, not weight, not holding gloves high that dictate the greatness of a heavyweight fighter. LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT THE SPORT YOU ARE POSTING ABOUT!!!!!

    How much would Ruiz way if he was in the same sort of shape and Marciano, and how did you arrive at that number?

    I couldn’t agree more. You can spoon feed these knuckleheads only so much.

    An obese person Has disproportionate girth in relation to their feet. Obviously Ruiz falls into this category.

    You're something of a know all aren't you ,the wise old sage, condescending to teach the rest of us what way is up.
    Fella, I've been following boxing for over half a century practising it, watching it ,writing about it, reading about it, and studying films of it.

    You and I are not going to get along so why don't we save time and keep clear of each other?
