Should Andy Ruiz try to get in better shape, or just keep doing what he's doing?

258 lbs is where he will be even better.

 

No need to fix things that aren’t broken.

 

Did he have a full camp as the replacement fighter?

Regardless, he needs to optimise his conditioning while maintaining all his attributes: speed, power, strength, chin.

I can't see how if he trained a bit harder so he could go for 12 rounds he wouldn't be slimmer and more effective.

I like him, his attitude and he's good for boxing. Hope he's not just a flash in the pan.

 

Yes, he should lose some weight.

If he's at 258, it's more ideal than 268. If he can get down to 250, that's even better.

He'll be even faster than before and AJ will have a harder time anticipating his offense.

 

253-268. Ruiz's level of fitness is what matters, and it isn't directly reflected by his weight.

 

To drop the weight he will have to drop calorie intake. How will that impact his energy and ability to train? I say if it isn’t broke don’t fix it.

To those saying he will die at 50, have you seen his bloodwork? None of us know what’s really under the hood. He actually might be just fine. He certainly can perform just fine for 12 tough rounds.

 

I'm far from a beauty in all sizes type of person but Ruiz IS in good shape.

 

This video proves he's athletic?

 

He has to get the weight down to be the best he can be.

 

Usually when fighters start banging on about that they get beat! Joshua had the best of all of that and where did it get him in the Ruiz fight?

 

Wtf are you talking about, hispanics are most obese ethnic/racial group in US, but they live the longest .

 

I haven't seen many old fat Mex & I live in a bear 40% Mex area currently. The few obese latino/latina I see are in motorized wheel chairs.

Maybe you're right tho. I hope Ruiz lives beyond 100.

Stay humble you

 

Ruiz should stick to the training regimen of Burritos and Snickers Bars for the rematch...

but he may need to load up on more Snickers Bars if the rematch is in the UK since the Frankenroids Joshua won't be asking his corner "Why am I feeling like this?"... in the UK he'll be nice and Juiced up and not feeling weak like before!! But he also asked his corner "What did he hit me with?", so maybe the Juice won't help him in the rematch...
