    I would describe Ruiz as a pressure counter fighter.

    I don't know WTF you're talking about.

    I already outlined the stylistic advantages he had.

    I agree with this. Absolutely.

    I also disagree with the notion of style advantage. It has more to do with the things you said.

    20 cm reach advantage! come on dude! if you lose while having that kind of advantage.... go heck!

    Ruiz had nothing on AJ, nothing at all. Just joshua is an overrated fighter that has no clue about how to capitalize on a 20 cm reach advantage.

    :lol: the "boxer slugger swarmer crap" is exclusively your purvey. It belongs entirely to you and lives rent free in your head, forever, as illustrated by this bizarre thread.

    I remember saying a while back that the heavyweight to beat Joshua will be a small one with fast hands, I made the comparison that the 2003 version of James Toney that beat Holyfield would KO Joshua, I got slated for it at the time ............Never count out the short fat dude !

    No no no. In debates we have had beforehand you insist on shutting me down using Style advantage as if one fixed category ALWAYS has the advantage over another. Slugger beats swarmer. That kind of thing is in your head. And I have always said there are variables and that the success is not in the style itself but being able to impose the strategy correctly.

    No, this is completely incorrect. This is something that has occurred, specifically in one regard, that of Rocky Marciano.

    It is not my concern if you talk about Rocky Marciano literally all the time.

    Oh, so it has occurred? You have specifically used style advantage in one regard. So It’s not in my head.

    :lol: it's a thread about, in your own words, an issue where (according to you):

    "In debates we have had beforehand you insist on shutting me down using Style advantage"

    And that has only occurred in one "debate", and that's about Rocky Marciano :lol:

    The butthurt is so exquisite.

    You rightly observed that Ruiz used the right tactics and that the category of his fighting style itself was not as crucial. I just wanted to see if anyone out there actually believes in style advantage. As a thing.
