    Well done Joshua, hats off.
    Ruiz on the other hand let himself down badly, I am just a boxing fan and shouldnt question fighters but Ruiz didnt even look like he tried, he didnt even train properly, came in 16lbs heavier, shame.

    Heavyweights should have to put the other guy on canvas to win belts.

    Lol, sure thing sport. He ran from a 282 pound man...literally the entire fight, he desperately held anytime they got in range to fight. If that’s what you like so be it, but I thought it was pathetic, and I picked AJ to win.

    It was very obvious Ruiz Jr was lacking footspeed and ring IQ to handle a rangy AJ. Ruiz simply couldnt adjust at all. He tried the same thing again, over and over. Didn't adjust sh** for 12 rounds. Terrible performance.

    I don't like Wilder and think he's a moron, but he's probably the heaviest puncher in history. Ruiz is too short to deal with his leverages.

    Joshua was good, Ruiz was terrible. Worst shape of his career. What an idiot.

    I think Wilder beats him too. Coming in lighter would prove detrimental to hid already suspect chin.

    I think AJ would have won regardless. He got into trouble in the first fight in the close exchanges. Today he avoided trading for the most part and stuck to the basics. He definitely went back home and watched some Klitschko tape. That was very reminiscent of the latter half of Wlads career. Well done from Joshua.

    Haye vs Valuev was worse by far.

    Joshua hasn't masetered this against good opposition, rather borefests or he gets dropped.
