    He is definitelty heading there though. Being the first Mexican Heavyweight Champion in history is no joke and he did so by beating a massively celebrated undefeated champion who is also an Olympic Gold Medalist. That achievement all alone stamps his name in the mouths of historians, critics and fans forever.

    If Ruiz goes on to defend his title 3 times successfully and two of those names are any of the 3 or all 3 are DW,TF and AJ he will be an all time great Mexican fighter.

    Obviously Ruiz is the greatest Mexican Heavy ever.

    Wrong. As the one and only Rah has said he's behind Arreola

    I know it's ridiculous. And who does Chris have on his résumé who's 20% of Joshua? Rahs mental

    If he has the mexican nationality, then he is mexican. His parents were born in mexico, so I bet he has the mexican nationality.

    Plus a tatoo in his arm saying "made in mexico", plus his name is Andrés Ponce Ruiz. Honestly, he couldnt be more mexican.

    If my son is born in another country for job reasons, I will 100% give him my nationality. 10000000% sure.
