    He can stay American based, and what is more, it will light a fire under him to fight. Ruiz has some nice skills with the fast, educated hands, but sometime its like he doesn't have the...hunger...for boxing...

    Ruiz turns 37 this year. He has fought only 3 times since Joshua. His last fight was in 2024, and before that in 2022. He's not taken care of himself and so hasn't stayed in good condition.

    His time has passed - what potential he had a decade ago is long gone.

    However, he'll make a decent opponent for Ajagba's next fight.

    Ajagba sucks. Most thought he lost to Vianello, and he was getting outboxed by Martin. I am not convinced Ruiz loses that one.

    Ruiz is over the hill. He had his 5 minutes of fame when he made Joshua look tame. That opportunity came now he looks lame and an old student of the game.

    When Ajagba dominates him will you blame Ruiz's age ?

    Only then, but Ajagba is going to jab his face in.

    Its funny because the country of Turkey changed their name because Andy Ruiz was making them feel uncomfortable.

    The only thing that will be good for Ruiz is if he takes boxing seriously, and not relive his one and only good win for the rest of his life.
