Body and fat shaming Andy Ruiz is pathetic!

[Ron Swanson]

Fat acceptance is a health crisis in the USA. Between our aging population and the steep increase in obesity our health care prices are skyrocketing. In 1985 not 1 state had 15% obesity, now not 1 state has less than 20% obesity.

Everyone should feel comfortable with who they are, but they should feel a responsibility to their health as well. I’m giving up over 3000 of my dollars annually, as is the average American to fit the bill for people that don’t have the respect for themselves to take care of their health. We have movements like “Healthy at any size”, that’s a f’n lie. Beautiful at any size, intelligent at any size, hard working at any size are all possible. But healthy at any size is a lie that hurts and even kills people.

You’re right, fat shaming is wrong. But fat acceptance does far more damage, it’s killing, and killing at an ever increasing rate.

Remember Joe Hipp he was fat shit could he fight a tough SOB.
Don't judge a book by its cover it's boxing not the body beautiful.!

The problem is that you can’t tell me that Ruiz wouldn’t be better if he ate better

Ruiz comes off as one of the more legitimately confident tubby fighters. There have been far worse with even less ability. Prior to Miller inserting both of his feet into his big mouth and god knows what in his arse cheek there were some who had no problems with his ever expanding sweat pants at 315. I mean really, raise your hand from your couch if you've ever gone 12 hard rounds.

it's not OK to be a fat cunt. It's bad for you, for everyone else and it's totally your fault if you are a lardass porky motherfucker.

That’s the issue with the HW division though. It’s the only division where you can get into shape but eat whatever you want and mess up your body and still be one of the top guys. HW division is generally the worst because of this. Ever notice why the top fighters never look like Ruiz? Because those that are serious about being on top will be disciplined enough to not look like that.

And I hate the body type argument. There are different types of bodies but I’ve never seen an in shape and healthy eater look like that. They may not have a six pack or even look rock solid, but they at least look semi fit.

Fat, Super morbidly obese are the words that describe him , don't do use a liberal buzzword like "chunky" or "big boned" he is a fat bastard end of story.
A fat bastard with talent who can fight , but i dont contend he is better for being fat.

You do know that he didn't really weigh two tons, right?

Sure it is true we often do judge a guy or gal on appearance be it in the ring or bobbling down the sidewalks. Heavyweights would seem to be limitless on the scale and first thought that rotund is..oh great not commitment here. But I wouldn't say great expanses are limited to hvys as now so many guys leap divisions or do cw or simply blow weight in short time. Wonder how many hvys drain down to scale and come in 20 lbs additional?

I just want an honest effort at the top level, good fights. It's not a bikini contest and if we've learned anything it's that looks can be deceiving in every weight class. I'm not convinced a stripped down less chubber version of Ruiz would be a better fighter or take as good a shot or have the same motor. I mean look back at say the 90's and the gaggle of sculpted guys that really never measured up or were sucking air like a fish on land. Saw a tubby Tony Tubbs clown a svelte Riddick Bowe and get robbed for it once. Honestly a few of the top guys today have some hips hangeth over and c cups. Some can box circles, and others hit there built in Zab Judah stamina peak and lumber around.

Not to get silly with it but on the flip side, when is too much too much in bulk and body adonis. Now Joshua is a physical specimen and hard work and fitness speaks for itself. But has there been a time the conditioning is suspect, and how's he do with all that muscled mass in the legs when consistently pushed at a fast pace. He took a dip in with Wlad and proved he had gears coming back but a fast churning worker will keep him moving. Not entirely sold Ruiz Jr is close to being the one but again be it a big baby Huey body type or a mountain of muscle, easier to judge a guy on work done and effort given

He went 12 rounds with Parker what I remember he did push Parker I don't think he is a bum at all.
AJ will be to much for him Ruiz is a decent enough opponent hell it's boxing anything can happen.

I’m just saying that there has never been a top HW that has looked like Ruiz. Every top HW in the history of boxing hasn’t look chubby. I’m in no way saying that being ripped makes you better, but I am saying that there is a reason that no top HW in history has looked like that.
