    Quack quack. Stop ducking the question on quitting you quitter. If you want to get owned on contract negotiations in the heavyweight division too we can do that once you throw in the towel here.

    I call anyone a moron who complains about a contract he signed. Ruiz is no better than any of the naive college kids who cry about their $80,000 in student debt. "I don't want to pay that back! I got my degree but my pay doesn't allow me to pay it back so I won't".

    Exact same thing like Ruiz. They agree to something, then call it unfair and want to back out. It's what children do.

    No one in their right mind calls Ruiz Jr. "The man". He's a fat, undisciplined nobody who now appears to be willing to risk canceling a signed rematch. To be honest I am not surprised. He never had a professional attitude.

    Because I've reduced you to crying over how a totally shot Tyson quit in the last fight of his career, my job here is done.

    Trollolollol. Tears of laughter at your candy ass getting such a paddling for posting one of this site's stupidest ever comments. Please continue digging this hole by telling us all how Tyson and Bowe never quit in their careers. I'm all ears.

    Joshua doesn't hold any belts.

    Ruiz doesn't have to vacate anything. Joshua isn't a mandatory. No org said Ruiz has to give Joshua an immediate rematch.

    In fact, Eddie Hearn talked to all the orgs after Joshua lost to make sure they wouldn't strip Ruiz if Ruiz fought Joshua again next.

    There's a reason Wilder-Ortiz II hasn't been made official yet and why it was pushed back to November instead of August, which it was originally supposed to happen.

    Wilder-Ruiz for all the belts at the end of this year is still in play.

    I hate the hearn mentality that he "pays" everybody well. No. Those boxers earned those numbers and Andy Ruiz today could earn that much and probably more in several fights without hearn or Joshua.

    If Ruiz has such amazing marketing power and does so well financially, then why did he sign a rematch clause that binds him to Hearn and AJ in case he won the first fight?

    My thinking as well it's clearly going that way.

    People on this forum trip me out arguing specifics of a contract they've never seen.

    Ultimately this sounds like it's Eddie Hearns' problem. Clearly he didn't have the rematch clause fully worked out and now it's a problem.

    And if not, then, I mean I guess I can't blame Ruiz since it is a paid profession even if I personally as a fan sitting in a chair would rather he sign it.
