Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz Credits Anthony Joshua, Proposes Trilogy Fight After Aug. 3 Date

[super-x]

You dont turn down a wbc elimintor against Wilder if your really serious about getting back in the mix for title shot. Ruiz has looked absolute dog crap since that one hit wonder against Joshua 1. Miller has been given another unwarranted lifeline but Turki and he may very well decide to get his azz into shape for this one.

[Poopdick]

that is the worst thing about these boxers. don't fight for years. come back against a loser opponent and start name dropping for their next fights.

Joshua fans in their feelings and bothered to see the return of Andy Ruiz.

I despise AJ, but Ruiz is a fat bum and doesn't deserve another shot. Beating Miller means nothing.

Old Titz was ktfo by that bum Wider, remember?

Simply saying that Ruiz has an entertaining style of boxing is all. He KO Joshua in a great fight, had a good fight w Ortiz. I would be up to see a Joshua rematch as it certainly has the potential to be entertaining if AJ has his legs back under him and is confident in his power and ability to stop his opponents again, and doesn’t choose to run and avoid contact.

But we do know what he brings to the table: tacos and Snickers bars.

At his gym in El Cajon, Ruiz is surrounded by weightlifter types whose bodies make them look bigger and stronger than Ruiz himself. And I guess maybe they are. But in a fight; ring or street; they all know that Ruiz cuts through them all like a blowtorch through butter. Force + speed, wrapped up in aquired skill, beats abs and a 6-pack every day in a fight, and Andy Ruiz is in the fighting business.

Anthony Joshua, now in favor again, remains a LONG way from getting even with Andy Ruiz.

I think they should feed Francis Ngannou & Jon Jones to Ruiz on the same night. It will be clean boxing rules so Francis & Jon can't kick or choke and Andy won't bring a Filero. An honorable fight.

It will end exactly like Joshua - Ngannou did, but with TWO UFC champions getting oxygen.

I like Ruiz but only 2 fights in 5 years after those joshua fights is beyond disappointing, a waste of his prime years possibly.

I have always preferred Ruiz Junior vs Joshua III, over Whyte vs Joshua II 'As a intriguing and more significant fight'.

If Anthony Joshua's next fight is not going to be a title fight 'Then I believe Joshua and his team should be looking to make, big fights which have a story'.

People seem to overlook, that boxing at its best 'Is theatre, it is violence combined with Broadway'.

Fights vs Hrgovic, Zhang and Parker are solid fights 'But the match ups, don't really have any real depth or story. None of those match ups are great boxing promoting, Joshua's career right now especially as a contender can be promoted much better'.

Note: Ruiz Junior vs Joshua III 'Is there to be made. Joshua has been inflicting damage, and altering the universal perception that certain folk of attempted to associate with him in boxing with all of his recent performances'.

If Anthony Joshua is matched vs Andy Ruiz Junior for the tribology fight, and this time around 'Joshua beats Ruiz Junior up brutally, once again in Joshua's career? Those type of performances are not just great wins, they are influential wins in terms of altering the universal perception within boxing with certain people'.

I think it Andy Ruiz Junior vs Anthony Joshua III is a great match up 'Outside of the non-title fight, for me this is pretty much the best fight for Anthony Joshua to make. Because Joshua innately as a competitor can gain a lot from beating Ruiz Junior, and the win also would have to be respected by insiders of the game'.

No other top level Heavyweight of this era, has whenever they have been beaten 'Immediately attempted to get some get back. Anthony Joshua is the only top-level Heavyweight who has conducted himself in this manner'.

Anthony Joshua behaved this way against Andy Ruiz Junior, and Oleksandr Usyk 'Joshua won the rematch easy vs Ruiz Junior, and his effort improved for the rematch vs Usyk'. Certain people that don't really understand competition, believe that this is a negative on Joshua's career. But that perception, can only really be held by individuals that have no idea what competition, experience and being thoroughly tested initials.

Anthony Joshua is the most thoroughly tested active Heavyweight of this era 'Inside and outside of the ring, specifically in relation to boxing competition. We have witnessed Joshua encounter more trails and tribulations than Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and Oleksandr Uysk'.

We have seen how Joshua reacts to a loss, we have seen how Joshua persevered through a testing a incredibly uncertain time in his career 'Joshua is still here as one of the there Heavyweight mountains of this era, dangerous and he still has the eye of the Tiger'.

We don't know how Tyson Fury will react to a loss 'And we don't know how he will conduct himself through a testing a uncertain time in his boxing specific career inside the boxing ring. Fury has of course overcome testing times, people know is story. But specifically in terms of competition within the sport of boxing, Fury has not been tested to the same extent as Anthony Joshua has during his career'.

I would say currently right now, Fury is experiencing a very similar saga to what Joshua experienced when he was first beaten by Ruiz Junior' Fury for the first time in his career for me, is questioning his own abilities specific to boxing.

Francis Ngannnou vs Tyson Fury 'That fight and performance from my observation has had a effect upon Fury. Because the facts are? Tyson Fury trained for that fight, was Fury in his absolute best condition? No. But for sure Tyson Fury was in fight condition'.

If Tyson Fury believed that his first fight vs Deontay Wilder 'Was a controversial decision, then why did Fury not just pushed for the rematch? The reason why Tyson Fury never pushed for the rematch, was because he did not win the fight vs Deontay Wilder I'.

Tyson Fury did not win the first fight vs Deontay Wilder I 'You don't win World title fights by being backed up all night, and decked twice once badly. The draw was the correct decision'.

As a competitor, Anthony Joshua will be potentially gaining a lot from fighting Andy Ruiz Junior for the third time. Because the fight involves jeopardy, and it is a significant Heavyweight match up.

If I am being honest, I think Andy Ruiz Junior is there for the taking 'I would not be surprised if Joshua brutal beats up Ruiz Junior. Of course there is jeopardy, but I can inversion that type of performance from Anthony Joshua' etc.

No one wants to see joshua vs ruiz 3

all I remember is ruiz asking for way too much money to fight wilder

Speak for yourself bro. I think a third fight between them would be good, especially if Ruiz beats Miller first. He's a legit opponent and it's a trilogy decider.

I wouldn't be so sure about that after Ruiz struggled against 50 year old Ortiz and 49 year old Chris "Nipple" Areola.
