    I specify that I never said that Ruiz was bad. On the contrary, I give him credit for attesting to how small he is compared to his opponents.

    Round Andy's height mattered not a jot when he was dropping Joshua four times and making Joshua crumble mentally under the bright lights at Madison Square Garden.

    Yea i said this yesterday. Hes not a natural heavyweight, hes only a hw because hes undisciplined in what he puts into his body. At best he should be around the cruiserweight limit imo.

    It’s clear Ruiz is limited. He needs the right opponent to succeed. I think him against Joyce would be a barn burner. Winner gets title shot

    Fat Andy looking well nourished! He’s as fat as ever. Loved the pre fight “skinny” pictures. What was that CGI? I need to find the photographer to take shots of me because he’s got skills. Andy looked almost normal in the pictures. What’s up with his face? Did he get tattoos eye liner? What a fat pile of goo and a disgrace as a boxer. Get in shape you fat ****!

    Grandpa Ortiz is shot and needs to stop fighting. Doesn’t he have enough money to retire? He gave Fatboy Andy a hard fight but that’s only because Ruiz is a borderline bum. Not quite a bum but close to it. I hope to never see either of these guys fight again. Maybe against a youtuber but not a boxer. Ortiz would still KO any youtuber.

    ...again. Measuring Boxers is often without and with shoes. I can remember my amateur days, they took my with shoes. And often the heights are different due to conversion of unit measurements of different countries.

    Real heights of Boxers:
    Ruiz 6ft
    Fury 6 ft 7
    Wilder 6 ft 6
    Tyson 5ft 10
    Joshua 6 ft 5
    W. Klitschko 6 ft 5
    Haye 6 ft 2
    Babic 6ft 1
    Lewis 6ft 4
    Breazeale 6ft 6

    He has the wrong style for his build. He has trex arms but likes to counter on the outside and doesn’t know how to throw body punches.

    Ortiz is listed at 6' 4". He's actually somewhere closer to 6' 2".

    He used to be listed as having an 84" reach. That was nonsense and it was eventually corrected to 78".

    Fury's reach might be 7' 1". His height is around 6' 8".

    And they lie about their reaches even more than their heights!

    Isn't Ruiz the same height as Usyk like 6'3?

    Ortiz is about 6'4, meaning Ruiz is about 6'2.

    Sounds about right.
