If you mean he has a genetic disposition to stuff his face at every opportunity then yes it's genetic. Obese people complete marathons, doesn't mean they could complete a marathon in under 3 hours let alone compete with elite level marathon runners. Arreola maybe able to go 12 rounds at his pace but he's hardly a volume puncher. He average only 33 punches a round against Vitali, imagine what he could do if he could throw 80 punches a round like Vitali.
Trimmer figure, are you serious? He's even worse than Arreola in terms of physical shape, he's 2 inches shorter yet even Arreola has never shown up as heavy as Ruiz Jr has in some of his fights. But he is more talented than Arreola, faster hands, better combinations and punching technique. But his weight is going to hamper him. He's too immobile and too easy to hit. I don't he'll go much further than Arreola did unless he can get his weight down to 230lbs or below.
I don't know anymore, his last fight vs. Serhei was quite an eye opener. That fight should be considered very worrisome for any fans of Ruiz.
I remember when I used to think he was a legitimate heavyweight threat has the talent doesn't have the will.
At least the man got the heart of a warrior. I rather see a boxer cry after being stopped and gave it all than a fraud who retire in their corner.
So what? He enjoys life. He always shows up to fight. Yes, he could achieved more if he was more disciplined outside the ring. But he chose this kind of lifestyle, no need to hate. Who are you to judge he can't eat what he wants and drink what he wants... I will still watch his fights, at least they are always entertaining and he will always look out for the KO win. Plus he would beat Wilder and Price easily.
Whats wrong with him crying? It was for the HW championship, something he had wanted for years. Him being fat is what should be shamed, not the fact that he has a big heart. Id rather see a fighter in tears than one with a big stupid grin on their face ala Victor Ortiz and Zou Shiming.
atsch That fat ****ing piece of **** lting ******* has been preaching for years how he is going to get in shape and get that HW belt. Hes all talk and its ****ing people off. Same **** iwth Ruiz Jr, there were talks of him getting down in weight yet he jumps to 270 :fire These guys deserve to get knocked out.
