    Ruiz is unbeatable. He will unify and then remain undefeated until he retires at 77 years of age.

    You purposely forgot Wilder so the thread is basically discredited. Man up!

    Joshua will win the rematch

    He will fight very safe and win on points

    But a late knock out wouldn't surprise me

    I am no AJ fanboy, but his whole career is riding on this victory and I think he will do enough

    Ruiz vs the other top 10 fighters, IMO;

    Joshua     - I predict a comfortable win for AJ in the rematch, late stoppage following a calculated performance.

    Wilder - I'd back Ruiz to easily outpoint Wilder and maybe even stop him - but Wilders right hand... 50/50 for me.

    Usyk - Close fight that depends on how Usyk handles the power of Ruiz over the course of the fight - but i'd back Usyk to swiftly outbox him.

    Fury - Fury to 'Jab his nut in' - not a good match up for Ruiz.

    Povetkin - Closer than people would think, but i'll go for a Ruiz UD here.

    Whyte - I think Ruiz comfortably UD's Whyte, though we know Ruiz can be caught with a left hook!

    Miller - Wide UD for Ruiz here in a fast and exciting fight.

    Ortiz - Ruiz likely to overwhelm an ageing Ortiz with his speed, UD Ruiz.

    Pulev - I imagine a boring chess match that could go either way, but with Ruiz's ability to take a good punch and string fast combo's together i've gotta favour him.

    If Beterbiev fights Ruiz like he fought Gvozdyk, he gets stopped, but I know that you are kidding so...

    Ruiz has a superb skill set, and it will take someone likewise to beat him now that he is Champ.

    That leaves Usyk.

    Ruiz returns to being a 10-15 ranked guy, if not from Joshua, soon thereafter.

    Deontay could definitely catch him with a big shot. I pick him over Ruiz in five.

    Yeah but Parker didn't fight the blobs second and final form. He fought the miniature 255 version. While the bodybuilder Joshua had to contend with the more powerful 268lb version. Which was just too much for that feeble bodybuilder to handle. He was completely dismantled when the blob grew in size. Didn't know what was happening to him. lol

    The blob had grown
