52 Year Old Larry Holmes vs Andy Ruiz

I mean stylistically I think peak Holmes or even the Holmes that beat Mercer is a big problem for Andy. Larry had a great chin was light on his feet and that jab.

But he was just too faded at that age. Ruiz by stoppage

 

The "figure" before Saudi Arabia wasn't exactly an Adonis, but he stopped a big, modern, and skilled HW holding 3 belts.

In the HW ranks you don't have to have a bodybuilders physique !

 

No, but Snickers Jr's condition in SA was a disgrace. He turned up looking like said Eric Esch after a month long vacation at a Cancun all inclusive.

 

Wasn’t aware that I mentioned a bodybuilders physique being a prerequisite for being a boxer, it isn’t.
Ruiz was an absolute disgrace who disrespected the sport, after all that guff about pride, he spouted on New York.
Let’s hope Reynoso performs a miracle and mould him into a force in the talent thin heavyweights.

 

I thought you implied it. So we agree - especially for HWs

Again, I agree. I was disappointed at Ruiz for the rematch. I hope we see a better Ruiz in his next fight.
