No, it's only a major achievement if you're an untalented guy who either lucked out and/or worked your way into a title. If you're a talented guy like Ruiz is, simply getting to the top of one of the alphabet mountains is a major disappointment. Had he trained and lived his life properly, he would easily be a T4 heavyweight today.
The Ali clip was fkn crazy. If my own team thought I was about to get murked in the ring that would throw serious doubt into my head. Instead he told his team off and won. Its about drive, man. We see it all the time. Crazy clip
Weird take on Buster Douglas. When did his mother die and what did he promise her? That’s a once in a lifetime motivation. You need to take into account the psychology of grief here.
Fr the channel doesn’t mention buster douglas was ready to die in that ring and had all the motivation in the world after the passing of his momma, it wasn’t a fluke. The human psyche can overcome significant odds when the right conditions are met
The sad thing is that Ruiz didn't just win with a lucky punch. He legitimately has talent and even showed some of that during the second fight. Unfortunately, his other, less favourable attributes got in the way, coupled with Joshua playing it really safe.
Wait.... So what about Ruiz? He caught a slow out of shape Ruiz who clearly looked like he barely trained. He couldn't even finish off that version of Ruiz so what did that say about Joshua?@@WilliamWallace42
Hes won past 2 fights. Dude can eat any plate of food and any punch. The only reason he's had success lol. But I wouldn't be surprised if he got in shape and beat anyone else in the world. I doubt it, but he could
If you think he had a chance to be dancing Joshua in that rematch, if he was more focused and trained harder, you’re an idiot. There was no way. Oh if he just ate less tacos. NO it didn’t matter so he may as week eat what he wants and party til it was over.
One of the worst things a losing boxer can say to the people who paid money to watch a fight "I don't think I trained hard enough"/"I didn't take this as serious as I should've"
Exactly. Also their managers might speculate that it'll turn into a trilogy and they get to cash another check just for going 1-1 initially.

Andy Ruiz Jr. became the new James Buster Douglas. He made a huge upset by defeating the best HW in the world, the unified HW champion (WBA/IBF/WBO/IBO) Anthony Joshua by a KO. Then afterwards, like Douglas could care less to defend the championship and strive for new glories. I mean seriously, since Ruiz Jr. lost the championship way back in 2019. How many fights have he done? JUST TWO (!) two freakin fights in 5 years.... One in 2021, against unrated 40+ Chris Arreola where Ruiz looked and fought poorly and One fight in 2022 against Luis Ortiz. He threw away his career completely.
@@Papellxhase James Buster Douglas was a great tallent and could have been a great champion if he desired so, but he never had that drive. And when he put all into it, he was truly a skilled, athletic and sharp boxer. The sharp jab he had, the solid combinations he made and speed in those shots was true art. Problem was that outside of October 1987-January 1990 period he was to much ON/OFF and wasted a lot of his tallent. Several times in his career he lost fights he could for real have won if he had had more killer instinct, but just let them come. The loss of his sweet mother who had always supported him suddenly died just 2 weeks from the biggest fight of his life. Yet Buster managed to fight through the greef to fight "The baddest man on the planet". Douglas used all his athletic tallent, all his sharp punches and combinations and Tyson could do nothing but eat leather for 10 rounds. And Tyson who had bragged at a night club for soul legend James Brown: "I can beat Buster any day with my eyes closed".
He was happy to say he reached world champ status, get paid a ton, and then go back in for a second helping of cash in the second fight. Guy didn't care about staying champ, it's obvious.
It was far from the upset of the century, AJ was just stupidly overhyped. Andy Ruiz Jr. was 32-1 with his only loss being a close mixed-decision against Parker a Top 10 guy. AJ was 22-0 but also only had a awkward point decision over Parker and had to give it his all to beat 41-year old Klitschko. Nothing suggested there was or even that there is a huge gap between the two guys. Everyone just thinks AJ is the protagonist.
I bet on Ruiz in that first fight. I hadn't bet on a fight in years. I was telling everybody Joshua keeps getting rocked in these fights and this dude can go 12 rounds and hits hard. Its not a good matchup for Joshua he is gonna catch him.
Maybe the guy just doesn't want to get in the head for a living anymore. He made enough money to last an entire lifetime if he's smart with it I'd ride off into the sunset as well tbh.
Every person is different. For some people they only dream of winning a title once, but there are other people who need to always be winners.. I am glad that he fully enjoyed his moment.
@@raulramirez9657 nope. Ruiz is also a winner but just not elite...you can't call loser to a man who was a champion even tho he lost the rematch. Ruiz is good and a former champion but he is not elite thats all

Maidana was the "Most Satisfying Upset" of the year, probably of the decade, maybe of all time. Lol. Thanks for an excellent video, great idea behind it.

Nothing has been redefined here; it's a story that has happened throughout the history of the sport. In fact, heaps of folks were suspicious of Joshua's ability to take a punch or handle an up-tempo pressure fight. Maybe a pair of "fast hands" can get you to the top but you're going to need a lot more than that to stay there... seriously though, nobody can take away Ruiz's achievements, so definitely kudos to him.
Great video. Good structure. Good clips. Good historic references. Good backing by statistics. Keep this up. Refine it even. Don't get content and your channel has no limits. Glad to be a sub 100k subscriber.
I just want to thank you for this video, this really put my situation into perspective since my whole life is seemingly telling me to get into fighting professionally and after seeing guys like Buster Douglas and Ruiz in this video like you've shown, you've just further inspired me to look out for what I have to go up against in the future potentially.
That Muhammad Ali talk with his team in the tunnel before the Forman fight was mazing. It translates to our daily lives and the confidence that we need when we're counted out. Just wow.
It’s always the same story in boxing. Fighters grow up, get their act together and get serious about their training when their bodies can’t perform anymore.
its not just fighting bruh thats basically how life goes! when you finally get old enough & wise enough to make real money ur too damn old & tired to enjoy it right!

7:38 Ruiz having multuple haircuts per week, and Joshua coming info the rematch looking like he hadn't felt a clipper since the defeat. The rematch outocme was inevitable.
My favorite detail is that Ruiz went to JRE and clocked in one of the shortest podcasts in JRE history. Dude barely made it an hour before he got hungry again 🤣🤣🤣
@@emilstorgaard9642 his mouthguard fell out prior to the tooth. Go back and look in slow motion when he gets hit, something small and white definitely flies out. If it is not a tooth what is it? Gum?
His weight had nothing to do with his loss. He won the 1st fight because Joshua hurt him and went in for the kill he got in Ruiz’s range and he got caught. The 2nd fight Joshua was not going to get in Ruiz’s range he kept the fight on the outside.
People lie so much about this fight that it's frustrating because the whole point of the rematch was Joshua fighting the fight he'd been trained to fight in their 1st meeting. Joshua got reckless and excited and it opened him up. He and Rob McCracken mention in the dazn mini documentary that Joshua was actually getting frustrated in the 2nd fight coz he wanted to crack, and his team kept telling him to pull back and box, and that was frustrating because he was seeing it work, but all he wanted to do was pay Andy back but he had to remain disciplined. I'm paraphrasing btw
Stfu Joshua it's my top heavywight righrnow but lets be honest Andy Ruiz has way more skills then anyother heavywight rn. Beat Parker by aleast 3 points in his backyard got robbed and of he beating Anthony in the first fight was a sucker u just a mf*King casual plain and simple.
More importantly, he didn't hurt him and that was the issue. AJ was distracted by the occasion, and after Wilder having a big first round KO shortly before so he felt he needed to impress on his debut on the way to making the big Wilder fight eventually. The moment Ruiz went down, instead of thinking about it or actually assessing if he was hurt, AJ just went in with limited defence thinking Ruiz was vulnerable. That was the main mistake, if Ruiz was vulnerable although it's not impossible AJ could have got caught it's less likely. But Ruiz wasn't, the mistake was thinking he was hurt.
@@SaiSaiGre Andy was just too fast for Joshua, plus Mexicans love close combat, n Andy did just that, attacked Joshua like an angry bull, which Joshua never expected.. In the 2nd fight, Joshua's camp knew better than to go toe to toe vs Andy Ruiz, plus friendly judges were gonna give him the win with him just jabbing n running, like seen with Tank vs Cruz.. In the end it's all about ratings, like in any sport..
This is such a great piece. Should have added the contrast of A.J-Ruiz to A.J-Usyk and the rematches. Still enjoyed your piece. God bless your channel 🙏
@@NickWixx 70lbs is a HUGE amount of weight to gain in a professional boxing match.. Andy clearly didn't train for the rematch, boy quit giving a damn, it seems..lol
You're showing pics of Morrison and Buster Douglas...implying that they were, somehow one-hit wonders. That's an absolutely false notion regarding those two fighters specifically as both Morrison and Douglas had quite a few notable victories against viable Heavyweight contenders and champions themselves.
Also it is incorrect to say Douglas didn't turn up for the Holyfield fight... Yes he had put on weight, but he clearly came to fight...most people didn't watch the fight, Douglas was trying but Holyfield was probably at his very best and was sensational and dangerous in that fight (I don't know if roids were involved) but Douglas was clearly upset and disappointed to lose, he didn't want to lose the belt.
@@fire418 Andy kicked his ass n Joshua knew it, reason he just jabbed n ran in the 2nd fight, knowing the judges would give him the win if he kept his distance.. Andy still looked strong even though ol boy gained 70lbs like a dumbass.. Had he been serious about defending his win, no one would stop him.. He was too fast for them bigger fighters.. Andy just got lazy after he got paid, it happens..
He clearly thinks that he is some kind of big Star that deserves some big payday. If he just puts his head down and starts fighting people left and right he might get what he wants.
I've watched boxing everyday for years. Consider myself very studied. Love seeing new clips. Shoutout to the prefight Ali Vs. Foreman Ringwald speech. That's epic stuff. Salute 🫡
There are alot of talented people in any sport but most of them are lazy and no discipline. That why people said hardwork beat talent. But if got both make you legend.
Dislike him. He's such a simpleton. All it took was one taste of money and fame and he lost all desire to train and fight. Becoming the first man of Mexican descent to win a heavyweight title was big, and he could've been hugely popular, but now he's just huge. What a shame.
He will forever be a champion. He got to the top while 99% of people in the comments have never done anything as difficult or impressive. Who are we to judge a man for losing his fire when we never had 1 to lose ourselves?
also the company he kept. During the time he was the World Champion, there were some hype boys around him acting like gangsters and yelling at anyone whom they were passing by and behaving in a very rude manner. I don't think Andy is the kind of a person who would insult others just for fun, but he couldn't control the parasites who leeched on to him the moment he became a world champion. I really appreciate how grounded Crawford and Usyk are after their big victories.
But of a weird take, Andy was obviously hungry after beating Joshua, just the wrong kind of hungry

-Andy ruiz
And i ate it all.
Wrong thing to say especially after losing..lol
I started dying
Every person is different. For some people they only dream of winning a title once, but there are other people who need to always be winners..
I am glad that he fully enjoyed his moment.
The latter are the true winners and elites of the sport.
@@raulramirez9657 nope. Ruiz is also a winner but just not elite...you can't call loser to a man who was a champion even tho he lost the rematch. Ruiz is good and a former champion but he is not elite thats all
Not you (random mf ) making excuses for a loser like Ruiz 😂
A TRUE winner is what I meant. Definitely not a loser but he was a one hit wonder
@@raulramirez9657 he is a winner to me. Anyone who got the balls to be a pro boxer which is one of the most dangerous Sport ever and become the champ by beating AJ in his house England is a winner to me. Who are you to judge Ruiz?? are you better than him??
Maidana was the "Most Satisfying Upset" of the year, probably of the decade, maybe of all time.
Lol. Thanks for an excellent video, great idea behind it.
Lol Broner wasn’t as good as he portrayed 😆🤣 also he wasn’t a real 147 pounder but I’m sure you were satisfied because Floyd beat tf outta Maidana twice and twice and your other favorite fighters😂😂😂 #we know what kind of fan you and most of y’all are 💯
I absolutely love the concept and the work you put in your videos man it is such a pleasure to watch it thanks !
quality of this video was amazing please do more just like this
I watch more mma than I do boxing but with content like this, I'm down to watch more boxing! You got my sub, keep up the great content!
The JxmyHighroller of boxing videos, keep putting out content. This is great stuff man.
That's exactly what I was going to say haha
Really? Cause im gonna follow this channel if this is true
I'm not getting that vibe at all. He's not bad at all, it's just that Jxmy's on a whole nother level
@@jeremybrown9611 Naw he fell off years ago just like the NBA in general
Nah, he doesn't have a zooming in chart where he says and this dot way over here ...
Man ate himself out of a belt lmao
I will never understand that much lack of discipline from an athlete
@@SaiSaiGre Some ppl are happy with a million, some ppl want to take over the world.. Sadly..
Heavyweights have a hard time being disciplined.
@@Phillyphill-cj1pk Yeah, especially when their punch can easily kill..lol
@@SaiSaiGreA lot of would become fat if we were millionaires.
Nothing has been redefined here; it's a story that has happened throughout the history of the sport. In fact, heaps of folks were suspicious of Joshua's ability to take a punch or handle an up-tempo pressure fight.
Maybe a pair of "fast hands" can get you to the top but you're going to need a lot more than that to stay there... seriously though, nobody can take away Ruiz's achievements, so definitely kudos to him.
Very well thought out and put together video. Liked and subscribed.
this is a good example of: Taco's got the best of me 🤣
Great video. Good structure. Good clips. Good historic references. Good backing by statistics. Keep this up. Refine it even. Don't get content and your channel has no limits. Glad to be a sub 100k subscriber.
"A lot of things was going on, on my plate" 😂😂
Great video and what a way to encourage a fighter!
I just want to thank you for this video, this really put my situation into perspective since my whole life is seemingly telling me to get into fighting professionally and after seeing guys like Buster Douglas and Ruiz in this video like you've shown, you've just further inspired me to look out for what I have to go up against in the future potentially.
amazing video, this channel is gonna be huge.
woah didn't know animeballsdeep are boxing fan
never expected you to be into boxing
Hajime no ippo review coming soon? 😂
Yeah😂, like showing the face of Jeff horn and considers him as a one hit wonder😂😂😂
Imma trynna see Andy Ruiz pull
Up in egghead
Class channel mate.
well made for a smol channel
I agree this smol channel did a good thing.
smol channel beeg heart
Yes very smol
Can't wait till it gets way beggar and beggar
smol channel but maybe big penus
Y'all dumb af. Lololol😂
My mans loved them tacos & cervazas more than the bag lol
That Muhammad Ali talk with his team in the tunnel before the Forman fight was mazing. It translates to our daily lives and the confidence that we need when we're counted out. Just wow.
It’s always the same story in boxing. Fighters grow up, get their act together and get serious about their training when their bodies can’t perform anymore.
its not just fighting bruh thats basically how life goes! when you finally get old enough & wise enough to make real money ur too damn old & tired to enjoy it right!
The Buster Douglas, Ali juxtaposition less than 2 minutes in... complete with hilariously understated caption: This man deserves my full attention. Subbed.
Underrated channel
Absolutely love the thumbnail with the title it’s perfectly combined. Actually the dumbest way to lose championship some ppl can’t handle money and fame together
I live for coming across really good channels like this
Now AJ is out there knocking out people like Ngannou like he's playing with a heavy bag.
Fire content!
Really wish more people find your channel!
7:38 Ruiz having multuple haircuts per week, and Joshua coming info the rematch looking like he hadn't felt a clipper since the defeat.
The rematch outocme was inevitable.
My favorite detail is that Ruiz went to JRE and clocked in one of the shortest podcasts in JRE history. Dude barely made it an hour before he got hungry again 🤣🤣🤣
1:15 my guy really injected synthol in his pecs lmao
Good video. The flow is really good and entertaining. Keeps your attention.
😂😂 Mayweather’s tooth flying out at 5:33
Damn good eye
It's just a rumor. How can his tooth fly out if it's covered by a mouth guard lol
@@emilstorgaard9642 his mouthguard fell out prior to the tooth. Go back and look in slow motion when he gets hit, something small and white definitely flies out. If it is not a tooth what is it? Gum?
@@Jorge-zu4yz
Looks like spit to me. But who knows
@@emilstorgaard9642maidana literally has a necklace with the tooth in it
WTF happened @ 2:07 ????
When you are that big, you don't need to be that good, just willing to go to war until you can't.
been watching your videos, these are great man, keep going.
Im mostly a mma fan but this was an insanely well made video and you earned my sub, keep up the good vids
if you keep putting content like this out your channel will go places great stuff
That pizza looked so good... I'm hungry now 😢
His weight had nothing to do with his loss. He won the 1st fight because Joshua hurt him and went in for the kill he got in Ruiz’s range and he got caught. The 2nd fight Joshua was not going to get in Ruiz’s range he kept the fight on the outside.
People lie so much about this fight that it's frustrating because the whole point of the rematch was Joshua fighting the fight he'd been trained to fight in their 1st meeting. Joshua got reckless and excited and it opened him up. He and Rob McCracken mention in the dazn mini documentary that Joshua was actually getting frustrated in the 2nd fight coz he wanted to crack, and his team kept telling him to pull back and box, and that was frustrating because he was seeing it work, but all he wanted to do was pay Andy back but he had to remain disciplined. I'm paraphrasing btw
@SaiSaiGre imagined if Andy had been disciplined a.j 2nd fight result would been the same...
Stfu Joshua it's my top heavywight righrnow but lets be honest Andy Ruiz has way more skills then anyother heavywight rn. Beat Parker by aleast 3 points in his backyard got robbed and of he beating Anthony in the first fight was a sucker u just a mf*King casual plain and simple.
More importantly, he didn't hurt him and that was the issue.
AJ was distracted by the occasion, and after Wilder having a big first round KO shortly before so he felt he needed to impress on his debut on the way to making the big Wilder fight eventually. The moment Ruiz went down, instead of thinking about it or actually assessing if he was hurt, AJ just went in with limited defence thinking Ruiz was vulnerable.
That was the main mistake, if Ruiz was vulnerable although it's not impossible AJ could have got caught it's less likely. But Ruiz wasn't, the mistake was thinking he was hurt.
@@SaiSaiGre Andy was just too fast for Joshua, plus Mexicans love close combat, n Andy did just that, attacked Joshua like an angry bull, which Joshua never expected.. In the 2nd fight, Joshua's camp knew better than to go toe to toe vs Andy Ruiz, plus friendly judges were gonna give him the win with him just jabbing n running, like seen with Tank vs Cruz.. In the end it's all about ratings, like in any sport..
Great video. You should keep it up. You're gonna grow if you keep pushing out content
ALI REFUSED TO FACE GEORGE AGAIN LMAO😂
Imagine throwing shade at a man who faced everyone, one of the bravest toughest fighters of all time 😂
you must have meant buster
Marty Lewis owns ali
Poor chap. He obviously had a lot on his plate.
This is such a great piece. Should have added the contrast of A.J-Ruiz to A.J-Usyk and the rematches. Still enjoyed your piece. God bless your channel 🙏
Ruiz actually says there was a lot on his plate, Dude needs to watch his words carefully lmao 😂
So you think if he just ate less he wins the rematch ? CUZ HE FUCKING WASNT GLONG TO!
@@NickWixx no shit. Dumb shit
@@NickWixx nice videos, who is the dad Cuck?
@@NickWixx 70lbs is a HUGE amount of weight to gain in a professional boxing match.. Andy clearly didn't train for the rematch, boy quit giving a damn, it seems..lol
@@P71ScrewHead a few more salads and it’d still be champ, huh? 😂🤣😂🤣 people are morons.
definately another Buster Douglas. he was 7 inches shorter than Joshua and weighed in 43 pounds fatter in their second fight
I'm Mexican and I'm tired of Ruiz. He had it all and let it go to waste.
Yeah, he fucked up bad, let money get to his head..
Very well put together video 👏👏
Hard to get out of bed and run when you're wearing silk pajamas.
You're showing pics of Morrison and Buster Douglas...implying that they were, somehow one-hit wonders. That's an absolutely false notion regarding those two fighters specifically as both Morrison and Douglas had quite a few notable victories against viable Heavyweight contenders and champions themselves.
Also it is incorrect to say Douglas didn't turn up for the Holyfield fight... Yes he had put on weight, but he clearly came to fight...most people didn't watch the fight, Douglas was trying but Holyfield was probably at his very best and was sensational and dangerous in that fight (I don't know if roids were involved) but Douglas was clearly upset and disappointed to lose, he didn't want to lose the belt.
Pair of clowns
Great little upload 👍
Thank you 😃
Subbed. 😊
0:21 I remember people saying he had a weighted sombrero and was just trying to throw off AJ 😂🥊
Never thought I'd feel bad for Buster Douglas but here we are
Andy Ruiz reminds me of Android 19 from DBZ lmao
It’s easy for everyone on here to judge. He was a world champion . Stopped an absolute monster . Eat your pizza Jonny . You earned it lol.
He did not earn that win, that was probably the easiest fight he ever had. Joshua was the most terrible he's ever been.
@@fire418 Andy kicked his ass n Joshua knew it, reason he just jabbed n ran in the 2nd fight, knowing the judges would give him the win if he kept his distance.. Andy still looked strong even though ol boy gained 70lbs like a dumbass.. Had he been serious about defending his win, no one would stop him.. He was too fast for them bigger fighters.. Andy just got lazy after he got paid, it happens..
@@P71ScrewHead Shoulda coulda woulda, he didn't defend it.
@@P71ScrewHead He was already lazy
@@fire418 he thought he'd be given a 3rd go at it.. Dumb mistake..

This is quality content. And a great choice of topic.
It makes me wonder if I’ll ever be like them if I was in their shoes.
He clearly thinks that he is some kind of big Star that deserves some big payday. If he just puts his head down and starts fighting people left and right he might get what he wants.
I've watched boxing everyday for years. Consider myself very studied. Love seeing new clips. Shoutout to the prefight Ali Vs. Foreman Ringwald speech. That's epic stuff. Salute 🫡
How am I gonna win the fight if I'm thinking like you?😂

Boxing is a 365 lifestyle. If you can't diet, turn down sex, and work out with intensity, then it ain't for you, and those are just basics.😅😂

@caseylayton4898 what's your fight stats?
@@abrahamdabo2576what’s yours ?
@@abrahamdabo2576who cares? Lol
@@caseylayton4898 Coaches say sex weakens the body, but there's no scientifical evidence for that. So it's only a mental thing.
There are alot of talented people in any sport but most of them are lazy and no discipline. That why people said hardwork beat talent. But if got both make you legend.
Dislike him. He's such a simpleton. All it took was one taste of money and fame and he lost all desire to train and fight. Becoming the first man of Mexican descent to win a heavyweight title was big, and he could've been hugely popular, but now he's just huge. What a shame.
He will forever be a champion. He got to the top while 99% of people in the comments have never done anything as difficult or impressive.
Who are we to judge a man for losing his fire when we never had 1 to lose ourselves?
Bro made 10 mil in 2 fights we always trying to trash people yet we’ll never get close to touching that amount of money at once
We’re trashing his success as a boxer, not as a person

Your aim shouldn't be to just become champion, it should be to get the belt and defend it 🤣
also the company he kept. During the time he was the World Champion, there were some hype boys around him acting like gangsters and yelling at anyone whom they were passing by and behaving in a very rude manner. I don't think Andy is the kind of a person who would insult others just for fun, but he couldn't control the parasites who leeched on to him the moment he became a world champion. I really appreciate how grounded Crawford and Usyk are after their big victories.
Good video, subscribed
Keep it up
and he blew all his money
not all athletes love their sport. Ruiz is an great example of that. he got the money though. hope he saved some of it.
Andy Ruiz became a fool. What a waste of an opportunity. He'll regret his sloth forever.
Says you, sitting and typing, having never won a title
