    That is putting it mildly. He was an octopus. Should have been warned, points deducted then DQ if he didn't stop.

    Tex Cobb got KO'd by Al Bundy, but he did kick some ass on MacGyver though. Still, I got Cobb KO Ruiz 4.

    Ruiz has a good chin.

    He recovered immediately after the first knockdown, ate Joshua's big right and kept on punching.
    He is the most overrated boxer of all time.

    Same could be said for Arreola who hadn't fought for 21 months. Both were rusty if anything and Arreola still made him look like a journeymen.

    Fact is if you stand with Ruiz Jr you'll catch him, we saw it vs Tor Hamer who could barely miss, saw it in the first Joshua fight who dropped him when he unloaded and saw it again vs a faded Arreola.

    Cobb wasn`t as dynamic or powerful as AJ, Ruiz has faster combo`s.

    Ali was dropped and lost rounds to a journeyman in the 60s. It happens

    Not after he became a world champ and people forget Ali was one of the youngest heavyweight champs of all-time, he was just a kid when he got dropped and lost rounds in the 60`s even though Cooper dropped him in the fight just before he met Liston, he was still very young and green.
