    In case you didn't already know, we are in a trade war with Mexico already..

    A Wilder vs Ruiz match could have Louis vs Schmelling type implications, at least on a smaller scale...

    What side will you be on ?

    I would support Ruiz against Wilder , because he would be an underdog and I don’t like wilder that much and it has nothing do to with Ruiz being american of mexican descent.
    I would def support wilder against Joshua , or Fury , or anybody from UK .

    But really it'd be USA vs USA, a domestic HW unification tilt no ?

    Ruiz represented Mexico in the Olympics
    Ruiz was raised in Mexico (Mexicali)
    Ruiz comes from a Mexican family
    Ruiz made his professional debut in Mexico
    Ruiz honored Mexico in his post-fight victory
    Ruiz's team waved the Mexican flag and wore Mexican flag bandannas

    Ruiz is Mexican, not American.

    As it stands, based on their career thus far, who do you think has shown they have given it their all more, Ruiz or Wilder ?

    Wasn't it a Mexican flag on one side and an American flag on the other side?

    Probably Ruiz. Wilder's annoying comments put me off, but mostly, I just don't like his style. I enjoy his fights because of the KO element, but I'm not fond of a guy with poor technique dominating too much. I give him credit for his wins still.

    They have both shown tons of heart. I would give Wilder the edge but I was impressed with Ruiz' abilities.

    Jeez, can you imagine if Wilder held all the belts. We'd be stuck with an eternity of featherfisted opponents.
