    It wasn't merely a story of Ruiz "losing some weight". It was a sensationalized story of Ruiz looking comparatively anorexic (complete with "before and after" pictures), just to get readership and grab headlines. And yes... it was reported all over the world... but unfortunately the very first few publications I saw that ran with the story were British. Nothing wrong nor accusatory about that.... just an observation. It just seemed odd to me that in the comparative blink of an eye, Ruiz went from gorging on burritos and pizza, to now looking like the winner of a "Biggest Loser" competition. It makes for sensationalist press... but not much more.

    As to the matter itself, it all depends on the amount of weight we're talking about. It certainly didn't seem like all that extra blubber bothered Ruiz in the least when he was steamrollering Joshua in MSG. It also didn't seem like Ruiz was the ultra-sensitive type who would care much about people poking fun at his weight. Personally I would've left well enough alone. He's made a pretty good career so far, while looking like the Mexican version of the Pillsbury dough boy. Don't see the sense in making major adjustments in weight before a rematch of a fight you've won in devastating fashion.

    That thing about Ruiz being looking anorexic is so fake that must be put on the category of sensationalist press.

    Yes yourself and Tito are both guilty of being sensationalist.

    It came from Ruiz account and that is hardly looking anorexic.

    Mental the knots people will tie themselves up in

    It was a comment. You're the only one who took offense, as you do across the board with your invented enemies. Put a sock in it, and STFU.

    You're the only one who took offense. Calling it a lame post and accusing me of "nonsense prejudices" and "topped off outrage" is taking offense in my book. Call it what you will.

    You were the ONLY one who responded in such fashion. A fact that conveniently goes unmentioned or unrecognized by you because it upsets your tiny, carefully arranged apple cart.
