People may say it's harsh, but think of it like this; you just won the heavyweight championship in one of the biggest upsets in boxing history. Not only that, but you were the first of your heritage to win the heavyweight championship in the history of boxing as well. You have an entire country and more cheering you on and you show up almost 20 pounds overweight and put on a half assed performance and get completely schooled by the guy you just took those belts from. Ruiz let everyone backing him down by doing what he did, and he deserves the criticism. I hope that maybe he can find himself and regain his reputation and respect, but for the time being he should probably just rethink his strategy.
XEVER! Wake up! It’s not just 15 pounds of overweight. Since the first fight, he is out of shape. No fighter can trust 100 percent on talent and eat tacos like that. He doesn’t look a fighter.🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
💯%... It may sound mean but he honestly deserves to be raked over the coals for this one. Lied in the build up and then came clean after getting smacked around. Made excuses all while saying "no excuses". I hate to call Ruiz a clown but he kind of is just for how this whole thing came about. And he CERTAINLY doesn't deserve a trilogy fight.
Eddie hearn might give him another chance and give him decent paydays but he was wrong for not training and getting a huge paycheck just for turning up

tic tac Yes he did. He was and still is the bigger draw. And he can be counted on to show up in shape. Nobody who did what Ruiz did deserves another shot any time soon. He should’ve actually dropped 10lbs or showed up the same weight just way more chiseled. But what he did was disrespectful to fans.
Jab Left Hook bro i have this convo constantly, the drug user, the obese person, the sex addict are all the same person we all have urges and they are based upon instant gratification that “dopamine and serotonin” but at what cost? Health, finances, career elevation, relationships
On point!!! Totally unprofessional and irresponsible on Ruiz' part. Their corner deserves part of the blame as well!!! Ruiz's lack of preparation & performance will hurt him way more than Joshua's ko loss to him.
@Mosaab And Ruiz returned that WIN back to AJ on a silver platter instead of making AJ earn it ...on top of that, Ruiz tainted his win because he just opened the door for ppl to wonder if Ruiz' win was a fluke. He really behaved as a loser coming to the fight unprepared.
He believes 100 percent on his talent. He always was on that horrible shape. It’s hilarious and stupid. He cannot be best fighter with that horrible shape. Otherwise, he would be the goat 😂🤷🏻♂️
@@danielfbc2744 Someone should've explained to him at a young age that you can't win on talent alone. Maybe his corner were to frightened of him since they couldn't get him into a gym 😒
@budfr I already knew that, I'm not a typical casual fan, Andy Ruiz is a great boxer, but the way that he threw away his chance in that fight by partying and gaining weight before the fight is disrespectful to the sweet science and the way he acted discredits his career.
benny blanco: I mean, how stupid can a guy be. His father was mad at him. And a fleet of Rolls Royces. Heck! Enjoy your money, yes. But look at his fan base that turned against him. And he allowed the belts to go back to Britain. Sad.
I remember AJ continually saying "I lost and have no excuses; Andy was the better man that night." Can't ever remember him making any excuses, even though many knew that he was concussed during sparring but Hearn still allowed him to fight with an injury that needs 120 days to heal.
@gmi g 😂😂😂 omg you can't even repeat back the excuses AJ made in these so called UA-cam clips 😂😂😂. Hush your mouth and crawl back in your hole. Your the type of person who should never be allowed to watch boxing , you muppet.😂😂😂😂
That money he got from the first fight got to his head that shit made him think the second one was going to be easier now he’s never getting that opportunity back sad
Believe it or not I will too I think a victory with Luis Ortiz and we see that he's in shape and he's taking it serious with get him back into people good grace but right now I'm like everybody else I do not want to see this fat slob after he lied and disrespected Mexico and America that way over there in Saudi Arabia all those people looking at him any show up as a big overgrown muffin with boxing gloves
@@juslivinlife000 what aj did was amazing any expert of boxing was impressed by AJ performance sure that he has also so much haters but in the end the performance of AJ in that night was impressive
@moz_boxing i think you have not see all fight he was also with left hooks and right hands and not so much clinch first the second to lose and to comeback after 6 MONTHS tyson fury after he won against klitschko when he was true champion why he dont have fight in that time klitschko in rematch he was lost the true champion is when he bounce back and Anthony is written in history books as Fourth fighter immediately winning the rematch floyd patterson muhammed ali lennox lewis and the last Anthony Joshua he is the reason i love boxing and watch with emotion
Lorenzo Corleone Empty vessel makes the loudest noise! Your comment just get to show how poor you really are. I have never heard bill gates say he made more money more than anyone.
People think so dramatically... Lifes not a movie! Joshua is just that much better a fighter. Ruiz is a solid fat slob and nothing more. It wouldve been the same result if Joshua implemented this safe box strategy initially. That's all.
u were absolutely insulting of the man. Ive been a fan and always listen too the show but this was low class. Sure Ruiz made a fool of himself but handle it professionally and not like a high school teen. Im as disappointed in Teddy as I am Ruiz. Two wrongs dont make a right. And u have never been supportive of ruiz lets keep it real. You have a tremendous voice in boxing and are held to a higher standard than most. Remember when u platform urself like this with such sway over the sport your looked up to as a leader and a role model. Please do better for all of us who listen to u and appreciate ur opinion or we will stop appreciating ur view point. I’m not condemning u ur human but we know u can act more honorably than this. U hold others to a high standard please live out ur standards as well.
Sebastian Benitez maybe I never noticed so can’t comment but he was never very congratulatory of Andy winning the first fight and have him no credit and no chance in the second fight so it was obvious he disliked Ruiz
Absolutely correct good sir. Very classless on the part of Teddy Atlas. Very disappointed in this kind of behaviour. There is ways to be harsh on a person to show your disappointment but this was not it.
Iron Berserk I agree bro. I believe in respect. I even tried to be respectful in my saying he was acting low in his comments. Because if u I edited my comment some. Thanks u helped me out I appreciate it
You guys need to turn on an EQ to filter out some of the low end. We need a little more vocal presence because it is very difficult to hear Teddy especially with speakers heavy in bass.
One dangerous thing about boxing is the length of time between matches. If a guy wins a fight and a bunch of money, and his next fight is 6 months away, an undisciplined fighter will do just what Ruiz did here, thinking, "I'll party for awhile then get ready later." In other sports, the athletes have to perform for the fans at least once or twice every week, so they have to keep their training and conditioning up to speed.
"What time is Shake Shack open to in Saudi Arabia"?!? I didn't see these. Each one is better than the previous one! Teddy is F Hilarious! Lol. So funny 😆😂🤣🤣🤣
Ruiz blew it big time, George Forman called it spot on in his pre fight prediction, personally i thought he was coming in heavy to blow Joshua out with brute force power, but as the fight unfolded it soon became clear Ruiz didn't take the fight seriously enough and unluckily for him joshua did, Very impressed how Joshua changed it up and showed versatility and great composure.
Why do people like Andy Ruiz change their stories after a fight when before the fight he looked fast and dangerous during ALL of his pre-fight public workouts. He also said that he was sure that AJ would try to "box him around", and that they were ready for AJ to do just that. All these excuses aren't right and you Teddy Should know that Andy lost because AJ was much better that night not because Andy ate chicken!
Aj is even more of an inspiration to me. I’m 29 & I’m making a big change in my life ( just got home from a run with my dog). I’ve always been fat since I was a little kid & he’s the reason why I’m making a change. Hes my idol, even though were 1 year apart.
YES, its Very disappointing, un-acceptable and disrespectful. However, for you Non-Boxing People and casusl fans, this is the TRUTH. YES he came into the Joshua fight like the biggest fattest out of shape tub of shit possible. BUT, he always comes into EVERY fight like a fat out of shape huge tub of shit. he is NEVER in shape. at 270lb's, 260lbs,250lbs,240lbs he is obese and not in good fighting condition. When it comes to Training He is ALWAYS lazy, un-disciplined, and unfocused. Between fights he is EVEN lazier and more un-disciplined. Throw in a TERRIBLE metabolism, a good chin, good skill, decent power and you have ANDY RUIZ. Maybe its shocking. But Why should we expect any different from him? He has NEVER done things any other way. BTW he seems like a Very NICE Kid. And Good for him for making a lot of money in a very short period of time :) I hope he enjoys it and is smart with it. ALSO, It would probably take him 2 solid years of constant conditioning and a Massive improvement of diet to get where he needs to be. Maybe longer. also, He was matched and moved masterfully by his Former promoter(top rank) he has 1 marquee win. and that was Joshua... NO other good wins.. just the right place at the right time. AND YES He Can Fight. Lets hope 1 day we see him at his best. we certainly have NOT yet.
Teddy is right... he had no excuse to not come in so under prepared, with the examples he had that came before him... and it was talked about many times... James Buster Douglas etc... and for him to say i trained myself is flagrant.
Team Ruiz should hire Teddy Atlas to help train him. People got to remember and if y'all don't know he is one of the people who taught "IRON" MIKE TYSON THE YOUNGEST HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD TO FIGHT.
Teddy wouldn’t take the job. Too much integrity. This loss like the Duran no mas fight will define Ruiz as a fighter for the rest of his career. If he does come back, it will take years and lots of convincing wins against quality opponents for him to ever get a title shot again. Teddy wouldn’t want to make the promise to him knowing it would be years before they got a title shot. My guess Ruiz gets a few more low dollar fights,bums, a young hungry up and comer beats him, and he retires. He’s set for life financially, he doesn’t have to fight anymore. His performance this fight showed his heart is not there. He had all of Mexico behind him, on arguably the biggest stage in the world, defending his heavyweight title. And he shows up at 283. Doesn’t deserve a title shot, and doesn’t deserve boxing as a whole.
I said the same things as Teddy Atles. Ruiz didn't fight the second match just as I said. Ruiz was using drugs and he never trained that is why he was thin. Teddy doesn't remember the same thing happened to Buster Douglas. Douglas was a bum for Tyson to fight so he could duck, actually Don King made Tyson duck good fighters. They drugged up Douglas, he never trained, and he lost in the exact same way as Ruiz.
@saintquinn007 You are right. I was exaggerating. The point is big money picks champions and they pick people who are bankable. Ruiz didn't look like a champion because he was too undisciplined. No one made Ruiz or Buster Douglas take the drugs but no one told them not to. Ruiz's managers took bribes to tell him to go out and have fun. Ruiz lost weight because of cocaine use not because he was working out in the gym. Joshua a rich kid, golden boy who is a great boxer and that is why he was chosen. The problem is he doesn’t know how to fight. Tyson Fury had to be a tough guy to survive so he likes to fight. He isn’t so much a boxer an anti-boxer who likes to play around and frustrate others. He is a lot like Ali. Ali was a great boxer and a better anti-boxer. On the other hand Fury is 6”9" and a freak of nature. Fury's weakness is he playing out there and doesn’t want to hurt anyone . Deontay Wilder can’t box a lick but he is big and he can punch and that is how he got noticed. Deontay is the only warrior in the group. Deontay Wilder don’t play. He ain’t bull shitting out there. When Deontay is in the ring he doesn't want to hurt you, or even knock you out. Deontay wants to kill you. Humans rarely want to kill and that is why we always hold back. The boxing establishment can't understand Deontay because he isn't a fighter he is a killer. A killer can do things that are impossible for a boxer because they have a completely different skill set.
It’s a shame people don’t understand this concept. It’s not about Andy Ruiz, Jr...when you fat shame someone famous, then it trickles down. I guarantee Teddy Atlas has fans who struggle with weight and they feel shame because of these comments/tweets. When you mock a famous overweight person, you mock non-famous listeners/viewers at the same time. They hear and see these comments and when they look in the mirror, they think about them. And it hurts. I wish more people in Teddy’s position would get this concept.
When Teddy talks about fighters without heart, guys he calls quitters, those disrespecting the sport etc, we should listen, he knows, personally/first hand even, a lot about fighters who do things such as what I've just mentioned. He knows a lot about good fighters who just throw opportunities away etc. Yes, Ruiz fucked himself up badly, and he did disrespect the sport, that hallowed sport that is professional boxing. As I said, Teddy knows a lot about these things, as he has seen it happen multiple, multiple times. He surely must have a pretty good radar for that sorta behavior by know as he surely recognizes when it is happening. So when Teddy talks of fighters quitting, lack of heart, etc, etc, he knows all too well, and maybe one day he'll figure some way to finally prevent his fighters from doing the same shit, time and time again.
I kind of lost respect for him because he was saying that he is training harder but in the end he said that he wasn't and honestly disappointed me even though I still like him but next time to be a bit more real about himself.
This guy had 6 months to get in proper shape. Could you imagine how dangerous Ruiz could be if he dropped 30-40 lbs from his first AJ fight weight? Instead, he walked in nearly 20 lbs heavier. That is almost criminal and totally unacceptable for a professional athlete in any sport. He was the first ever mexican heavyweight champion and he had the hopes and dreams of an entire country behind him. He pulled the biggest upset this last decade and he had the opportunity of a lifetime with the rematch, to cement himself and increase his drawing potential, making sure his grand kids and great grand kids could be financially secure. He doesn't deserve a rematch any time soon if you ask me. You judge a man by how he acts when he has everything, and that is not the behavior of a true champion. AJ on the other hand, worked hard, dropped weight and came in with a game plan which was executed perfectly. This last 6 months for him must of been some of the worst in his entire career. All of the hate, the doubts, people telling him to drop his training team and writing him off completely. His entire career was wagered on this rematch and he did what he had to do to get his belts back. I think losing to Ruiz the first time was the best thing that ever happened to AJ. Firstly, it revealed to him those who were REALLY in his corner the entire time, filtering out those people who were only with him and supporting him because he was winning. Everyone wants to be your friend, call you, hang out with you, invite you to do shows, bring you opportunities when you're winning, but only your true friends, family, team and fans stick with you when you lose.
The thing that pissed me off was i thought he could beat aj the same fashion. But hearing from ruiz that he did not train and partied up to the fight gives the notion he did not care about winning. He even stated he ate everything in sight. That shows disregard for fans. And I've been following him from 2011 when he spared arvloski.
Teddy telling the truth. Teddy not exaggerating. Teddy is pissed Andy wasted his mental space. I know I am. Andy wasted my energy and time. I watched the promo videos leading up to the fight. I read the article and Andy disrespected Teddy, me, everyone else. Thank you, Teddy. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Andy became one of the greatest sports stories to one of the biggest disappointment. I was jumping when he won and I was screaming at my damn tv when he weighed in for the rematch. If he is a true champion he will take all the hate he is getting right now and use it as fuel to get better but at this point idk. I really hope he can pull thru but I wouldn’t bet on a guy who pissed the greatest opportunity in his life away.
Ruiz is like an actor who doesn't put in the work to learn the lines for the play... And ruins the show. We paid for a pay-per-view fight with two of the best heavyweights in the world at their best...
Mike Tyson did the exact same thing as Ruiz. He probably partied 10x as much as Ruiz while getting ready for a fight. Just that he was partying with coke and other drugs, not food and Coronas.
That's why I like Teddy. He tells it like it is, whether you like it or not. He doesn't sugarcoat things. You don't have to guess what he's thinking. He's a straight shooter. Don't ask Teddy's opinion on anything, if you don't want to hear the brutally honest truth. You can't be thinned skinned with Teddy. It sucks that he doesn't do live commentary for ESPN boxing anymore. He told the honest truth about that Pac-man vs Horn fight. A blind man could see that Pac-Man was robbed!
I was honestly really behind him in this fight. I'm Mexican American and supported him all the way. But I've also boxed and plan on going back and this life isn't easy and for him to blow his one chance in a life time, I just can't respect him at all anymore. So many people want the opportunity he had and would of at least work their ass off even if they lost or won and that's what I respect.
not even gonna lie, i’m happy for aj for becoming 2x. but ruiz really pissed me off not taking the rematch seriously

So it wouldn't be that shocking at all if Ruiz went broke after his career. In fact, it would be more of a surprise if he didn't.
The signs are already there; he bought that big mansion, which is also a huge money pit (property tax, upkeep), expensive cars, jewellery, etc. So clearly there's a pattern there; he likes to spend.
@@sankofax8082 From the post fight interview with his Father, I worry that his pop (though good intentioned) might just be the one who takes him to the cleaners through bad investments and sketchy housing development.
@@MrClassicmetal Damn... that is brutal... They might need to set up financial classes close to every boxing or sports gym...
He doesn’t deserve a rematch and he’s too dangerous to be worth the risk to other big names. This was a major mistake showing up the way he did.
Yup!
He will be a mandatory fight for some of the top dogs they can’t dodge him like that. He’s needs to KO mofos all the way back to the top
@@skylinemusik1 AJ showed the template on how to beat him - run, jab, run, jab.
@@skylinemusik1 Whyte has been mandatory for over three years now, didn't make Wilder fight him...
tic tac Yes he did. He was and still is the bigger draw. And he can be counted on to show up in shape. Nobody who did what Ruiz did deserves another shot any time soon. He should’ve actually dropped 10lbs or showed up the same weight just way more chiseled. But what he did was disrespectful to fans.
Allowed his urges to overtake him
Yessssss...ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING...JUST GROSS🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮...NO DISCIPLINE OVER AN APPETITE...UNBELIEVABLE

😂😂😂😂 na he was paid off blud
OMG Teddy was on fire 🔥🔥 🔥🔥 Lol 😂
keith speidel facts lol
On point!!! Totally unprofessional and irresponsible on Ruiz' part. Their corner deserves part of the blame as well!!!
Ruiz's lack of preparation & performance will hurt him way more than Joshua's ko loss to him.
Mosaab wrong just look up Roberto Duran, no mas haunts him today. This will always be associated with Ruiz
Joe Lazarus disagree, their team were trying to get him in the gym!!
@Mosaab And Ruiz returned that WIN back to AJ on a silver platter instead of making AJ earn it ...on top of that, Ruiz tainted his win because he just opened the door for ppl to wonder if Ruiz' win was a fluke. He really behaved as a loser coming to the fight unprepared.
He believes 100 percent on his talent. He always was on that horrible shape. It’s hilarious and stupid. He cannot be best fighter with that horrible shape. Otherwise, he would be the goat 😂🤷🏻♂️
@@danielfbc2744 Someone should've explained to him at a young age that you can't win on talent alone. Maybe his corner were to frightened of him since they couldn't get him into a gym 😒
He should have known better, taking Joshua Pride and Belts away. Joshua was in the gym day 1.
Ruiz is in the History Books at least.
but those pages are stuck together with chicken grease now hahaha
Ruiz embarrassed himself and doesn't deserve a trilogy fight
I wouldn’t say he earned one either, but let’s be fare it’ll probably happen just for a cash grab
He absolutely doesn’t deserve a rematch.
Don't worry, he won't get it.
@budfr I already knew that, I'm not a typical casual fan, Andy Ruiz is a great boxer, but the way that he threw away his chance in that fight by partying and gaining weight before the fight is disrespectful to the sweet science and the way he acted discredits his career.
I love Teddy. When he speaks I listen. So much wisdom. I can’t get enough. He teaches me about what happens inside the boxers mind. I love it.
Lost the hunger Quick Hagler said it’s easy to get up and run when your broke very hard when you got millions
ruiz loosing hunger needs more detail, most would think you lying lol
LMFAO TEDDY TWEETS ARE HILARIOUS
Ruiz scammed the fans he should be ashamed
benny blanco. Yes. They’re fantastic fighters as a whole. They take pride in themselves. Then in comes Ruiz...
@@teddyraffudeen7056 he will have to look in the mirror and know he blew the HW championship of the world through eating too many cakes
benny blanco: I mean, how stupid can a guy be. His father was mad at him. And a fleet of Rolls Royces. Heck! Enjoy your money, yes. But look at his fan base that turned against him. And he allowed the belts to go back to Britain. Sad.
Well said Teddy. I hope Andy hears this and really turns things around.
Those tweets were ruthless. Lol
Andy making excuses. Anthony didn't make any excuses when he lost which shows you who's a champion and who isn't!
Alan Crofts
Yes they did!!! They said he had an anxiety attack before the fight 😂 he had a feeling fat boy was gonna beat him down
I remember AJ continually saying "I lost and have no excuses; Andy was the better man that night." Can't ever remember him making any excuses, even though many knew that he was concussed during sparring but Hearn still allowed him to fight with an injury that needs 120 days to heal.
g you need to check those you tube vids again my man , not once did he come out with an excuse. The fans did but not aj
@gmi g come on then tell me exactly what excuses he comes up with in the interviews , after all you've seen it so you should be able tell me .
@gmi g 😂😂😂 omg you can't even repeat back the excuses AJ made in these so called UA-cam clips 😂😂😂. Hush your mouth and crawl back in your hole. Your the type of person who should never be allowed to watch boxing , you muppet.😂😂😂😂
When he said “Mom we made it” I knew he was going to mail in the rematch.
It's just seem like everyone is upset they were wrong about AJ losing again, and now taking it out on Ruiz lol.
T Boxing: I’m not. I liked them both. But Ruiz messed up big time. Didn’t even put up a good fight. Couldn’t-the so called ‘Destroyer’ was destroyed.
Should’ve said no mas at the dinner table 😂
😅
Your Tweets were legendary!!!
“I’m not gotta use the word hunger” LMAOOOO
Hey Mom, we might have to struggle again
In the thumbnail i thought Ruiz had a beard lmao!!
A true warrior goes out on his shield... not on a platter.
That money he got from the first fight got to his head that shit made him think the second one was going to be easier now he’s never getting that opportunity back sad

What's that song called that plays at the end
Well said teddy and I like the music at the end, props to the guy handling that
I thought it was funny. No harm in taking the piss out of someone if they deserve it.
I"ve lost some respect for Ruiz, not just for failing to train, but mostly for his comportment after the fight.
I’ll watch him fight Ortiz
Believe it or not I will too I think a victory with Luis Ortiz and we see that he's in shape and he's taking it serious with get him back into people good grace but right now I'm like everybody else I do not want to see this fat slob after he lied and disrespected Mexico and America that way over there in Saudi Arabia all those people looking at him any show up as a big overgrown muffin with boxing gloves
Would be a good fight. SUBSCRIBE to my channel family ✌✌😁😁🙏🙏
Fuck old man Ortiz I say put the fat Mexican in with Dillian Whyte
Ortiz will smoke Ruiz jr
G. Frank Davis 😂 Ruiz beats the syringe snatcher
He's so right.
He let the sport down, his fans down and himself down.
They Are all pissed cause AJ surprised all the losers. 2x champ lol. Love u AJ.
i make more money than you and i was rooting for ANdy!! who's the loser?
Everyone acting like AJ dominated. He didnt box he jabbed ran a marathon and hugged all night.
I wasn't impressed by either one of them!!!!!
@@juslivinlife000 what aj did was amazing any expert of boxing was impressed by AJ performance sure that he has also so much haters but in the end the performance of AJ in that night was impressive
@moz_boxing i think you have not see all fight he was also with left hooks and right hands and not so much clinch first the second to lose and to comeback after 6 MONTHS tyson fury after he won against klitschko when he was true champion why he dont have fight in that time klitschko in rematch he was lost the true champion is when he bounce back and Anthony is written in history books as Fourth fighter immediately winning the rematch floyd patterson muhammed ali lennox lewis and the last Anthony Joshua he is the reason i love boxing and watch with emotion
Lorenzo Corleone Empty vessel makes the loudest noise! Your comment just get to show how poor you really are. I have never heard bill gates say he made more money more than anyone.

I guess you didn't see Fury Klitschko either
because it was a fix

Lifes not a movie!
Joshua is just that much better a fighter. Ruiz is a solid fat slob and nothing more.
It wouldve been the same result if Joshua implemented this safe box strategy initially.
That's all.
u were absolutely insulting of the man. Ive been a fan and always listen too the show but this was low class. Sure Ruiz made a fool of himself but handle it professionally and not like a high school teen. Im as disappointed in Teddy as I am Ruiz. Two wrongs dont make a right. And u have never been supportive of ruiz lets keep it real. You have a tremendous voice in boxing and are held to a higher standard than most. Remember when u platform urself like this with such sway over the sport your looked up to as a leader and a role model. Please do better for all of us who listen to u and appreciate ur opinion or we will stop appreciating ur view point. I’m not condemning u ur human but we know u can act more honorably than this. U hold others to a high standard please live out ur standards as well.
Sir u nailed it on the coffin...🔨🔨⚰️⚰️
Hermes Gonzalez thank u. I try not ru be biased but call it fair.
Sebastian Benitez maybe I never noticed so can’t comment but he was never very congratulatory of Andy winning the first fight and have him no credit and no chance in the second fight so it was obvious he disliked Ruiz
Absolutely correct good sir. Very classless on the part of Teddy Atlas. Very disappointed in this kind of behaviour. There is ways to be harsh on a person to show your disappointment but this was not it.
Iron Berserk I agree bro. I believe in respect. I even tried to be respectful in my saying he was acting low in his comments. Because if u I edited my comment some. Thanks u helped me out I appreciate it
Ruiz is getting the heat, many bet on him.
Jonnyblaze 33 Possible talk of canceling the bets, or push.
Jonnyblaze 33: and lost. Not that so much but that Ruiz betrayed them.
You guys need to turn on an EQ to filter out some of the low end. We need a little more vocal presence because it is very difficult to hear Teddy especially with speakers heavy in bass.
One dangerous thing about boxing is the length of time between matches. If a guy wins a fight and a bunch of money, and his next fight is 6 months away, an undisciplined fighter will do just what Ruiz did here, thinking, "I'll party for awhile then get ready later." In other sports, the athletes have to perform for the fans at least once or twice every week, so they have to keep their training and conditioning up to speed.
Bro!!!! Lmfao those tweets were brutal, but funny AF lol!!!!
"What time is Shake Shack open to in Saudi Arabia"?!? I didn't see these. Each one is better than the previous one! Teddy is F Hilarious! Lol. So funny 😆😂🤣🤣🤣
Ruiz dissed every Mexican!!
Being world champion isnt just about winning one fight. Its about 100 percent dedication, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. Its a full time job.
Teddy’s one of the last great philosophers.
JJ G
He’s a great analyst and he’s brutally honest!!!!
These tweets are legendary.
To hear the great teddy Atlas speak is sincerely a blessing!! #livinglegend
Please tell me the name of the theme song please.
Friggen funny tweets, Teddy! 😂
Teddy, always keeping it 💯,
no matter what!!!
Ruiz blew it big time, George Forman called it spot on in his pre fight prediction, personally i thought he was coming in heavy to blow Joshua out with brute force power, but as the fight unfolded it soon became clear Ruiz didn't take the fight seriously enough and unluckily for him joshua did, Very impressed how Joshua changed it up and showed versatility and great composure.
Wow those are deep words from Teddy and that’s why I have so much respect for him.
Boxing is a hungry mans sport. Ruiz got fat, happy, & content. He reached the pinnacle and for some that is enough. It happens.
Why do people like Andy Ruiz change their stories after a fight when before the fight he looked fast and dangerous during ALL of his pre-fight public workouts. He also said that he was sure that AJ would try to "box him around", and that they were ready for AJ to do just that. All these excuses aren't right and you Teddy Should know that Andy lost because AJ was much better that night not because Andy ate chicken!
Anthony Iyiegbu: my thoughts exactly.
Aj is even more of an inspiration to me. I’m 29 & I’m making a big change in my life ( just got home from a run with my dog). I’ve always been fat since I was a little kid & he’s the reason why I’m making a change. Hes my idol, even though were 1 year apart.
Eric X lets go
Teddy called it...I thought Ruiz would win. I didn't know he was going to take it for granted.
YES, its Very disappointing, un-acceptable and disrespectful. However, for you Non-Boxing People and casusl fans, this is the TRUTH. YES he came into the Joshua fight like the biggest fattest out of shape tub of shit possible. BUT, he always comes into EVERY fight like a fat out of shape huge tub of shit. he is NEVER in shape. at 270lb's, 260lbs,250lbs,240lbs he is obese and not in good fighting condition. When it comes to Training He is ALWAYS lazy, un-disciplined, and unfocused. Between fights he is EVEN lazier and more un-disciplined. Throw in a TERRIBLE metabolism, a good chin, good skill, decent power and you have ANDY RUIZ. Maybe its shocking. But Why should we expect any different from him? He has NEVER done things any other way. BTW he seems like a Very NICE Kid. And Good for him for making a lot of money in a very short period of time :) I hope he enjoys it and is smart with it. ALSO, It would probably take him 2 solid years of constant conditioning and a Massive improvement of diet to get where he needs to be. Maybe longer. also, He was matched and moved masterfully by his Former promoter(top rank) he has 1 marquee win. and that was Joshua... NO other good wins.. just the right place at the right time. AND YES He Can Fight. Lets hope 1 day we see him at his best. we certainly have NOT yet.
Those tweets were amazing but words after were so impactful. Andy Ruiz really let me down. A lot people paid to see him win
Alex B: he let them down by putting on a miserable performance and came on hideously overweight.
Funny I thought of Duran too. Wasn’t there an upper limit to weight though?
I thought those tweets were friggin awesome!
Teddy is right... he had no excuse to not come in so under prepared, with the examples he had that came before him... and it was talked about many times... James Buster Douglas etc... and for him to say i trained myself is flagrant.
Freaking Ruiz blew it.. back to the bottom of the NOBODY List you go!!
Andy just making excuses, ain't nothing more than that and does not deserve the attention. You lost, end of.
He blew it! Period!
Team Ruiz should hire Teddy Atlas to help train him.
People got to remember and if y'all
don't know he is one of the people who taught "IRON" MIKE TYSON THE YOUNGEST HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD TO FIGHT.
Teddy wouldn’t take the job. Too much integrity. This loss like the Duran no mas fight will define Ruiz as a fighter for the rest of his career. If he does come back, it will take years and lots of convincing wins against quality opponents for him to ever get a title shot again. Teddy wouldn’t want to make the promise to him knowing it would be years before they got a title shot.
My guess Ruiz gets a few more low dollar fights,bums, a young hungry up and comer beats him, and he retires. He’s set for life financially, he doesn’t have to fight anymore. His performance this fight showed his heart is not there. He had all of Mexico behind him, on arguably the biggest stage in the world, defending his heavyweight title. And he shows up at 283. Doesn’t deserve a title shot, and doesn’t deserve boxing as a whole.
No you are wrong lol Mike was a street fighter before he meet teddy. Bobby Stewart was his first trainer.
@@thebestnever2127 nobody said first. Teddy definitely trained him with Rooney.
You're name sounds British, y'all are all dumb except Lennox Lewis.
@@marlapressley8508 well first of all I'm not British lol. Second teddy didn't do anything but hold the pads and washed Mike's underwear.
Cus taught him the fundamentals of boxing. Holding pads and screaming every sentence doesn't make you a boxing trainer.
I said the same things as Teddy Atles. Ruiz didn't fight the second match just as I said. Ruiz was using drugs and he never trained that is why he was thin. Teddy doesn't remember the same thing happened to Buster Douglas. Douglas was a bum for Tyson to fight so he could duck, actually Don King made Tyson duck good fighters. They drugged up Douglas, he never trained, and he lost in the exact same way as Ruiz.
@saintquinn007 I never said he lost to Tyson.He lost the next fight.
@saintquinn007 You are right. I was exaggerating. The point is big money picks champions and they pick people who are bankable. Ruiz didn't look like a champion because he was too undisciplined. No one made Ruiz or Buster Douglas take the drugs but no one told them not to. Ruiz's managers took bribes to tell him to go out and have fun. Ruiz lost weight because of cocaine use not because he was working out in the gym. Joshua a rich kid, golden boy who is a great boxer and that is why he was chosen. The problem is he doesn’t know how to fight. Tyson Fury had to be a tough guy to survive so he likes to fight. He isn’t so much a boxer an anti-boxer who likes to play around and frustrate others. He is a lot like Ali. Ali was a great boxer and a better anti-boxer. On the other hand Fury is 6”9" and a freak of nature. Fury's weakness is he playing out there and doesn’t want to hurt anyone . Deontay Wilder can’t box a lick but he is big and he can punch and that is how he got noticed. Deontay is the only warrior in the group. Deontay Wilder don’t play. He ain’t bull shitting out there. When Deontay is in the ring he doesn't want to hurt you, or even knock you out. Deontay wants to kill you. Humans rarely want to kill and that is why we always hold back. The boxing establishment can't understand Deontay because he isn't a fighter he is a killer. A killer can do things that are impossible for a boxer because they have a completely different skill set.
Please don’t compare Buster Douglas & Michael Spinks to the greatest lightweight boxer ever Roberto Duran.
It’s a shame people don’t understand this concept. It’s not about Andy Ruiz, Jr...when you fat shame someone famous, then it trickles down. I guarantee Teddy Atlas has fans who struggle with weight and they feel shame because of these comments/tweets. When you mock a famous overweight person, you mock non-famous listeners/viewers at the same time. They hear and see these comments and when they look in the mirror, they think about them. And it hurts. I wish more people in Teddy’s position would get this concept.
Totally agree, can’t believe he just pissed it all away.
This is exactly what Andy needs to here really. Maybe he might wake up. All his talent is wasted.
*hear
ROFL, Teddy is the best boxing guru hands down! Amazing witty tweets!
Proper preparation prevents poor performance 💯👌🏿👏🏿
That's tight, advice from Teddy. may Andy take this and grow! "That's life" shouts out to Franky
When Teddy talks about fighters without heart, guys he calls quitters, those disrespecting the sport etc, we should listen, he knows, personally/first hand even, a lot about fighters who do things such as what I've just mentioned. He knows a lot about good fighters who just throw opportunities away etc. Yes, Ruiz fucked himself up badly, and he did disrespect the sport, that hallowed sport that is professional boxing. As I said, Teddy knows a lot about these things, as he has seen it happen multiple, multiple times. He surely must have a pretty good radar for that sorta behavior by know as he surely recognizes when it is happening. So when Teddy talks of fighters quitting, lack of heart, etc, etc, he knows all too well, and maybe one day he'll figure some way to finally prevent his fighters from doing the same shit, time and time again.
I kind of lost respect for him because he was saying that he is training harder but in the end he said that he wasn't and honestly disappointed me even though I still like him but next time to be a bit more real about himself.
Iskren Tsekov: frigging liar. Talks out of two sides of his mouth.
Most people call it hunger, Mike Lombardi calls it competitive stamina. You can’t teach it, you’ve either got it or you don’t.
He calls himself the "Destroyer". A destroyer can only end up "destroying" themselves.
Wow, those were some savage tweets!
That’s what I always do. Calls it likes I sees it. But everyone thinks I’m an asshole 🤷🏻♂️.
This guy had 6 months to get in proper shape. Could you imagine how dangerous Ruiz could be if he dropped 30-40 lbs from his first AJ fight weight? Instead, he walked in nearly 20 lbs heavier. That is almost criminal and totally unacceptable for a professional athlete in any sport. He was the first ever mexican heavyweight champion and he had the hopes and dreams of an entire country behind him. He pulled the biggest upset this last decade and he had the opportunity of a lifetime with the rematch, to cement himself and increase his drawing potential, making sure his grand kids and great grand kids could be financially secure. He doesn't deserve a rematch any time soon if you ask me. You judge a man by how he acts when he has everything, and that is not the behavior of a true champion. AJ on the other hand, worked hard, dropped weight and came in with a game plan which was executed perfectly. This last 6 months for him must of been some of the worst in his entire career. All of the hate, the doubts, people telling him to drop his training team and writing him off completely. His entire career was wagered on this rematch and he did what he had to do to get his belts back. I think losing to Ruiz the first time was the best thing that ever happened to AJ. Firstly, it revealed to him those who were REALLY in his corner the entire time, filtering out those people who were only with him and supporting him because he was winning. Everyone wants to be your friend, call you, hang out with you, invite you to do shows, bring you opportunities when you're winning, but only your true friends, family, team and fans stick with you when you lose.
The thing that pissed me off was i thought he could beat aj the same fashion. But hearing from ruiz that he did not train and partied up to the fight gives the notion he did not care about winning. He even stated he ate everything in sight. That shows disregard for fans. And I've been following him from 2011 when he spared arvloski.
Teddy going in raw with the tweets.
Teddy telling the truth. Teddy not exaggerating. Teddy is pissed Andy wasted his mental space. I know I am. Andy wasted my energy and time. I watched the promo videos leading up to the fight. I read the article and Andy disrespected Teddy, me, everyone else. Thank you, Teddy. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Dude pissed me off talkin bout i trained hard... dude you just lied to your fans you gained 50 pounds how is that workin hard!
G's up hoes down: yes he lied. That so pissed me off.
Ruiz disrespected himself and embarrassed himself and people. Excuses are the worst
Teddy atlas is the best at giving you the truth that no wants to hear but you need to hear.
Andy became one of the greatest sports stories to one of the biggest disappointment. I was jumping when he won and I was screaming at my damn tv when he weighed in for the rematch. If he is a true champion he will take all the hate he is getting right now and use it as fuel to get better but at this point idk. I really hope he can pull thru but I wouldn’t bet on a guy who pissed the greatest opportunity in his life away.
Ruiz is like an actor who doesn't put in the work to learn the lines for the play... And ruins the show. We paid for a pay-per-view fight with two of the best heavyweights in the world at their best...
The new buster Douglas/michaelSphinx😂😂😂
Teddy on point before and after the match.
Mike Tyson did the exact same thing as Ruiz. He probably partied 10x as much as Ruiz while getting ready for a fight. Just that he was partying with coke and other drugs, not food and Coronas.
Jay Walker and jApanese hookers
That's why I like Teddy. He tells it like it is, whether you like it or not. He doesn't sugarcoat things. You don't have to guess what he's thinking. He's a straight shooter. Don't ask Teddy's opinion on anything, if you don't want to hear the brutally honest truth. You can't be thinned skinned with Teddy. It sucks that he doesn't do live commentary for ESPN boxing anymore. He told the honest truth about that Pac-man vs Horn fight. A blind man could see that Pac-Man was robbed!
I was honestly really behind him in this fight. I'm Mexican American and supported him all the way. But I've also boxed and plan on going back and this life isn't easy and for him to blow his one chance in a life time, I just can't respect him at all anymore. So many people want the opportunity he had and would of at least work their ass off even if they lost or won and that's what I respect.
Tbh when I saw the look on AJ's face I didn't think that he was up for the fight. This guy is right Ruiz didn't respect the belt(s) or himself.
