    I really want to see Joshua finish Pulev inside of six rounds. There's no reason for him not to. The Ruiz fight happened and that has to be accepted. He took a very skilled, albeit not physically impressive-looking, boxer lightly and paid for it. Second time around I understand him being a little cautious even though Ruiz was in no condition to provide a challenge. Now Joshua has some potentially big things in front of him so fighting like a guy trying to make a claim for being the top draw in the division would be in his best interest.

    Being a dipshit conspiracists is not critical thinking. It’s being a dipshit.

    you would think Fatso Ruiz would have gotten in better shape for both fights. Just seeing how embarrassingly fat he was in both fights was suspect. I've seen sports writers and sports editors in better shape than that.

    Ruiz embarrassed himself, the sport and the heavyweight title by showing up that fat for both fights. The only way he could ever beat a beast like Joshua is by choreography.

    Keep quoting yourself and making shit up.

    But like I said, you have a heel of a story if true, write it.

    Nothing fabricated. Tough to prove a boxing fix without a confession. I think there is only one official fix admission in boxing history - Jake Lamotta vs Billy Fox. But if you ever read the book "In This Corner" practically every boxer interview chapter alludes and implies of fixed fights in each career. Heckuva good book. It takes a long time for a fan or even a boxing writer to realize just how corrupt the sport is. I'd say the first decade working in the sport I had no idea about all the fixes. You just believe everything, you don't want to suspect foul play. You love the sport too much to think you're lover could cheat you. lol Then you start to hear things, see things, connect the dots and all the sudden you can see the dirty fights/inside jobs much clearer. Some are obscenely obvious - Canelo Kovalev, No Mas, Tyson Seldon, Joshua Ruiz, Canelo GGG...
