Is Andy Ruiz's career over? (Physically AND mentally)

[Gandalf]

Guarantee you see Andy Ruiz at 400 pounds by this time next year already retired with an Andy Ruiz Mexican buffet restaurant chain in the Los Angeles area. Who knows even the Andy Ruiz mean lean fat grilling machine

and Gandalf it's nice to be positive and optimistic but neuroscientist have for decades proven that any damage mentally or emotionally or spiritually which is done before the age of five is pretty much irreversible. I don't know about that 75% statistic you threw out there but I highly doubt it. People are like boxers some people get knocked out by a one shot to the jaw and then you have these ironjaw people like Mike Tyson or Muhammad Ali who you just cannot knock out. it's apples and oranges my friend. Some people fold and buccal artery motional abuse and neglect while other people can like you said make a recovery with hard work. It depends on the individual it is a case-by-case basis but it is a given scientific fact that until about the age of 4 and 1/2 or 5 years old that over 90% of the neural connections at the synaptic level have already been concretized. Due to experiences of trauma

Scientific facts. I'm not saying to not give it a try of course everyone should give it a try good but we cannot just say that so and so did not try hard enough because we do not know his psychiatric inner workings and he may or she may not even know herself or himself.

And where did this fact come from? I was paraphrasing from Jerold Kreisman an expert in the field who has researched extensively. Trauma is something that can be worked on and in two years more than 90% of cases show significant improvement with many apparently able to live relatively normal lives. It is about giving people the tools to cope. The brain will produce different levels of chemicals from a relatively young age, but strategies and tools can alleviate that and the brain can improve for most. It is often about hard work and desire to improve and overcome. There was a poster called Brock who claimed to have OCD, but it is a treatable condition and with effort never need be a factor.

Again, back to the topic.

(Sigh.....)

So yeah, Big Andy has got a deep underlying pathology manifesting in abusive over eating. From childhood, of course, because where else would it come from?

Poor Andy may be done. He just made another $15 million, so his pajamas will be EVEN MORE SILKY NOW! And 15 million buys a HELLA lotta buffets.

Andy, if you're listening, start running 3 miles a day big boy.

"With effort, OCD never need be a factor."
And needn't be poverty or homelessness or any other I'll according to you.
Dude, you are the KING of blanket statements. Have you any idea how many kinds of OCD there are? Your oversimplified views are obnoxiously sophomoric. Nobody should be poor and nobody should be homeless and nobody's pathologies should be a factor, how utterly arrogant.
