Rocky Marciano vs Andy Ruiz Jr

He almost lost to ****ing Tony Galento.

 

Do you think that Ruiz is a finely trained athlete, and an example to aspiring contenders?

 

You haven’t met enough Mexicans.

 

That is debatable.

He got dropped, and turned things round very quickly.

What is not debatable, is that Anthony Joshua, actually lost to ****ing Ruiz!

 

I think the reason why you’re so hysterical today is that Ruiz adds another wrinkle to super heavyweight history: We now know the prototypical super heavies can be bulled through by stumpy guys as long as the stumpy guys pack those extra pounds on to get the weight advantage.

 

You wrote that his weight was a disgrace.

He told his interviewers before the fight that this was the weight he wanted to be, and he gave his reasons, reasons that proved defensible in light of how the fight turned out.

He just defeated an undefeated unified HW champion. Nothing disgraceful in that performance at that weight.
I don't believe either man disgraced themselves, but if one of them did, it was NOT Ruiz.

 

That isn't saying much, there are very few elite heavies coming in that fat. And I would still disagree. McCline was actually a faster combination puncher at 260+.

I don't know what you are trying to accomplish with all this hyperbolic praise.

 

That aspiring underwear model/crossfit hero he shared the ring with looked far less conditioned in a functional sense. Andy was the boss almost every second of that fight, the one doing the advancing, the one dictating the pace, the one performing the wearing down process.

Take it from a real athlete...

Yeah not really, he got dropped and then destroyed him with ease. It's not even a given that Galento is that much worse than Ruiz. But Ruiz is modern, so he has to be better.

 

Galento was a fat bum.
Ruiz is an anabolic hypersonic modern athletic freak.

 

To settle the whole topic about his questionable height measurement, does he look the same height as Evander here?

Gravity was pulling him down.

In the vacuum of space he's 7ft tall.

 

Jameel McCline didn't even know how to box well. Jameel McCline had cement feet and threw arm punches. And he lacked heart. Ruiz is in a different category, unified heavyweight champion to be specific.

 

I got to see Sanders fight Vitali. Sanders had the fastest hands and feet of any heavyweight I watched live. Ruiz was fast too, but had real conditioning and more advanced strategy and defense. Vitali was likely a little slower than the. Chris Arreola moved in slow motion.

 

So he’s either 5”11-6” lol makes him even more modern w his slick modern modernistic work outs. He’d beat those cave men from ages ago
