Andy Ruiz Jr. Claims He's Back?!

Talks with Chris Arreola? Another overstuffed Pinata waiting to get the stuffing beatan out of him. This fight proves nothing.
And if it happens, one of the article above claims- If Ruiz Jr wins, he is likely to land another big-name fight such as Dillian Whyte, Alexander Povetkin or Daniel Dubois


Personally, I think his team should've went after Wilder. Bigger name obviously and he has the punch, whereas Arreola has nothing to offer him other than a glorified sparring session.

And with Wilder's team now seemingly non existent, he could also get the upper hand mentally- that IMO would earn him the right to fight White or Pov or Daniels.

Arreola is just being used now. Sad to see good guys keep going like this. He may have won a title if the Klits weren't around or if Joshua didn't come up right behind them with Wilder and Fury, but thems the breaks!

He is going out like Kevin Johnson, who vowed to retire when Anthony Joshua obliterated him and stuck around to take beatings... for the money, we hope!
;D

Just wish he'd get a move on and schedule a fight. He has the talent if he gets in proper shape.

I think Ruiz is a waste of space and just got lucky. He will never achieve anything again remotely close to a title and should retire.

Possibly so. And I was as critical as anyone about his disgraceful 2nd fight with Joshua.
But he deserves big credit for the 1st fight, which was taken at late notice.

Master could be right about Ruiz.
And I too was actually disgusted with his self sabotage before Joshua 2, but I find something really likeable about Ruiz and I'd really like to see him do well.

Ruiz actually fought on the undercard of a big fight a couple of months earlier, forgot which one, and was in good condition when he went into camp for the second time to face AJ. So he was in the best condition he had ever been ever. No way will he do that again when he has millions in the bank. The hunger is not there to train and fight anymore.

One big punch from a dark alley with eyes closed for ko, maybe luck. The same 2,3 different shots being set up and worked in multi rounds, skill. Problem was he bought his own conclusion and about 20+ stuffed crust pizzas for the rematch. And credit to AJ he changed the plot up.

I laughed when he stated he partied too much. No. uh eating isn't the equivalent of partying. Hoes, drugs, clubs, alcohol must be the 'old' way to party!

Then the lockdown happened. I will never buy a pint for anyone else again. The universe just can not take it.

That's a tad harsh I'd say. Despite his size he has fast hands, enough power to cause trouble and decent boxing skills and fundamentals.

Of course the question is his hunger to get in the best shape he can and the desire to find a way back to the top. Does he have it in him now that he isn't necesarily fighting for the future financial security of his family.

I agree with Master. He did get lucky to get the fight. Maybe not a waste of space, but definately wasted his chance to prove it wasn't a lucky win. While I jokingly stated drugs, women is the results of partying over training, it makes it all the more worse to know, drugs, women and clubs didn't contribute to his lack of focus.

Cheese pizza was his downfall, wow. I've seen more stuff stacked on pizza & it didnt cause the weight gain, he got. Just look at the way he stares at that slice of pizza, looks like he's about to orgasm.

If AJ doesn't give him another fight Fury doesn't -there is no HW that can give him that big stage with a potential mil-PPV type of chance. Most he can get IMO from here on out is a shot a title from a B-sider.

He looks like he's in good shape which aesthetically at least is a good sign, shows he's putting in work. Will it make a difference? The easy answer is yes, better shape, better fighter. We won't actually know until he fights. He might be the kind that benefits from a layer of fat, that's always been his natural state.

I like that he's with Reynoso. I've said before I like what I see from the footage of him working with his fighters. So much training looks generic but whenever I see him working there always appears to be a bit more method to what they are doing. Assimilating what will actually happen in the fight. I'm not suggesting that other people don't do that, but when I see his fighters do it, it all seems to make sense.

I agree that he can regain focus. Even if he brings a better version than we've ever seen- it won't ever be on a world stage like Joshua gave him. He might even continue to win looking like a fat cow, but he will NEVER be the cashcow of HW's.

Cant count Big Andy out

Ruiz v Wilder is a heavy handed speed spectacle needing to happen. That's a fun fight! But he'll tank the current Arreola in some ironic looking in the mirror match up. For a champion door crasher just one fight removed they should aim higher.
