    In June 2019, Andy Ruiz knocked down the champion Anthony Joshua 4 times, beat him black and blue and defeated him by TKO.
    He totally destroyed AJ, the victory was so glamorous, the way a champion should possess.

    On the other hand, AJ won the rematch by running away from Ruiz all night. He was too scared to get engaged in a brawl with him, too scared to get hit in the face. He circled around Ruiz and threw weak jabs here and there.

    If you watch the rematch again, you can easily see that Ruiz was more effective in the 2nd match too, threw powerful shots, did combinations and hurt AJ bad.

    Ruiz won the 1st match by KTFO Joshua, like a real champion.
    AJ won the rematch by a cowardly style.
    We didn't see a 3rd match, Hearn and AJ never mention about it because Hearn doesn't want to lose his hyped cash cow.

    Thus, Ruiz is still the (real) WBO, IBF, WBA, IBO champion, AJ is false champion, and the undisputed heavyweight king can only be determined by a

    match.

    He lost it in a McDonalds kiddy meal.

    You're only allowed to go on a full blown bender like Fury and still remain champ.

    Ruiz tried to pass off his GLUTTONY as a training camp which is why he is not and never will be the real champ.

    Baloney... there's never been a rule that says HOW one must win a championship bout. You can keep it as your opinion Ruiz is still the champ, but that'll never be the actual case.

    yeah that about sums it up. However if he ever decides to take it seriously he has all the tools to be a champ I think......but apparently it’s a big ask. The way he showed up for the rematch was a disgrace. Are there any reports of him in the gym since then... any pictures?

    AJ did run v Ruiz but he also landed more shots too on that flabby form Usyk would have ut-boxed Riuz too, he`s just a top 10 contender and nothing more, needs to get in line and I don`t mean at McDonalds, the guy`s an idiot.

    By that logic Fury is the real champ. Nobody ever won any belt off of him.

    Yeah, kid A.J for me is not a champ unless he will have Ruiz III fight.
    He is 1-1-0 vs Ruiz and there is loss via stoppage and win on points.
    Including loss via stoppage to the total undedog - replacement guy Ruiz.
    There 3 rd fight is needed, definitely.

    By that "logic" Ali never regained his championship, which means Foreman lost it to Young, who lost it to Norton, who lost it to Holmes, reparing the lineage.

    Ruiz could have still been champ if he trained properly for the rematch. He would have had a very good chance of winning again. The reality is that AJ trained very well and won the rematch clearly to reclaim the belts. There is no valid argument for Ruiz still being a champion.

    AJ vs Fury needs to happen, Ruiz doesn't deserve to get a shot before.

    This is hilarious, which is better than being true.

    Fraizer got it by decision but he was aggressive, Foreman got it by KO, Ali got it back by KO in Zaire. I don't see the problem. AJ should take notes.

    Amongst all the boxers, Ruiz is probably the heavyweight eating champion.
