Re: Joshua v Ruiz 2
Ruiz cheated the public out of their money by being totally unprofessional and not training properly.
He won the lottery by getting his title shot and showed extremely limited ambition by settling for 2 big paydays as opposed to training hard, respecting the sport and actually becoming a good heavyweight champion.
A squat, tank like fighter with fast hands, surprisingly nimble footwork and a very good chin. He could have made something much better out of his talent but I will remember him for his laziness in training and for kissing that latent talent up the wall.
I’m not a Joshua fanboy, and sometimes find him cringeworthy, but what he pulled off is very impressive. Having built his entire career on being a destroyer, he showed true grit and also ability in transforming himself into a completely different fighter for this rematch. Not many fighters, and very few heavyweights have ever pulled off such a stylistic change.
