“And so when you look at it from that perspective”

[@sufamidan1006]

Stephen A is a moron but Ward is talking crazy to think he would stand a chance against AJ. He is way too small, and I ain’t talking about height. Joshua would punch through that man and he would no doubt have to gain a crap ton of fake bulk, unnatural to his frame and he would burn out fast. Joshua would eat him.

[@israymervalentin-arias6313]

Ward knows that, but then again back in the day they said the same shit about Roy Jones Jr and he proved everyone wrong. Never doubt an undefeated champion moving up in weight class, but Ward knows better. The amount of work to compete aint worth his legacy.

I have to say no way in disagree with Ward there's no way he would win against Joshua he doesn't have the knockout power they're both well-rounded Fighters he will get knocked out 100% percent sure that too small doesn't have the punch

Domingo Ojeda agreed, Ruiz’s main reason for victory was his speed and multiple punches.. Ward is not that fast, especially if he gains an extra 30 pounds for heavyweight... also, he usually likes to pick his shots..

Steez OnyahMomma well. In the movie literally EVERYONE was saying Po (The Panda) was going to get killed by Tai-Lung. there was a prophecy saying that a great warrior will defeat Tai-Lung and Po is meant to be that warrior BUT because he’s fat and looks nothing like a martial artist or athlete they don’t believe he’s actually the warrior. Tai-Lung eventually comes to find Po but because Po stopped trying to impress others and started to do his own thing, he managed to easily beat Tai-Lung using his own strategies. Ruiz is basically the same since no one thought he was gonna win and he came out of no where and destroyed Joshua LOL Basically the theory is, even if your fat and don’t look like a fighter you can still kick the most trained fighters ass in a fight

I think he can take usyk as heavyweight because even though Andre was a super middleweight and a light heavyweight he's a naturally a big guy. But no way against Ruiz or wilder or Joshua. Andre Ward as a heavyweight would be like Roy Jones jr as a heavyweight fighting John Ruiz, that would be the type of opponent he would need. don't get me wrong you put Andre in the ring with anybody he's going to do his best but against Joshua it's a mismatch

@@badrhari8846 It was a super close fight regardless. It depends on how many rounds you gave Ward on how much that knockdown meant. If you had Ward winning even a single round early in the fight that some if not most people gave Kovalev then Ward won the fight. Because you can easily say Ward won the whole second half of that fight. The knockdown is what made it controversial.

[@brob8204]

I will say this about AJ, and this is not to take anything away from an amazing performance from Ruiz. But, Wladimir Klitschko (and I mean the version who was later schooled by the late, great Emmanuel Steward) would have never let the short, fat man with short arms get close enough to damage him! It would not have happened. It would have been a very boring, methodical fight. This is true. But, Wlad would have pieced him up. He would have kept him at distance while protecting his somewhat vulnerable chin, and that would have been that.

[@biggerbitcoin5126]

Andy Ruiz Jr should knock out SAS for taking the piss.

[@TomSNC]

Lose one fight and everything about you is destroyed and tarnished. This is the Mayweather effect, this thing about being undefeated or else you're a bum or something has somehow sifted throughout the boxing world. The man lost ONE FIGHT and I've heard he just wants to look like a model to hes overrated and now hes beneath Wilder and Fury and he'll never be able to fight them even though CLEARLY Wilder lost to Fury. Ruiz is not some bum but when it comes to boxing if you're not talked about 24/7 you arent supposed to be able to beat a top guy nowadays. Joshua will be fine, Ruiz better start getting some more shine and if this somehow means we arent getting AJ vs the other two than Wilder and Fury are fuckin cowards lmao
