    If Andre Ward came at 195 lbs then he would have debunked the Super Heavyweight dominance, for now the -rational- psychological barrier is still there, Ruiz is no small guy he is built like a fortress & used the extra weight properly.

    Fury-Wilder large frame & Ruiz extra weight are keeping the division Super-Heavy

    I like Ruiz but he's no chance against prime Klits or Lewis. I doubt Bowe loses to him either.

    Yes, and Ruiz is one. The guy came in 20 pounds heavier than Joshua. Why are we pretending Little Mac just won the title and not Big Mac?

    The only myths in boxing are the ones that permeates throughout the brains of fans.

    Yep, Klitschkos, Lewis and Bowe won because they are good, not because they are big.

    AJ folded like a house of cards once he faced a fresh hungry fighter who came to win and he was not in front of his Hooligan crowd.....

    Let it sink in that AJ was never that good but was marketed perfectly.

    He did his best, got caught and lost. That doesn't mean that he was exposed. Anyway, AJ doesn't agree with all the excuses that his fans are making for him. He simply admits that he was beaten by a good fighter.

    How do you know Ruiz Jr. is a top fighter at heavyweight -- for the next 10 years? He won one big fight. The jury on his longer term prospects are still out.

    That blown up cruiser is an ATG and no, Ruiz doesn't have a better win than Holyfield

    Holyfield > Joshua

    What the **** I shouldn't have to say this
