    Ok, so help me understand. For the record, you are saying that in the rematch AJ had a more disgraceful performance than Ruiz?

    Yes especially now since he's getting a new trainer that will get him in shape.

    AJ clearly won, but the way he won was kind of embarrassing, both put a bad performance, but at least Ruiz was trying to put some action in the fight.

    It was both. AJ came in with a better plan for dealing with a hard headed pressure fighter like Ruiz.

    In the condition he was in, the only thing Ruiz was capable of pressuring was his own arteries.

    I don't get why Wilder never faced Ruiz would have been a easy fight to make in USA & Ruiz in top ten.
    Second Fight, AJ just fault a smarter fight & kept Ruiz @ long range I wonder if Wilder could do this.
    Odd's are Wilder wanted no part of Ruiz as he's got a very good Chin & could get up off a good shot from Wilder.

    You don't think Ruiz came into the second fight unprepared?

    Prior to the first Joshua fight, Ruiz was not exactly a household name. Nobody was clamoring for a Wilder-Ruiz fight or a Ruiz anyone fight really.

    Now, after the two AJ fights, he has some notoriety and a fight with Wildet could probably be sold.

    I'd pick Wilder to stop Ruiz by the way. Ruiz can take a good shot but taking a shot to give a shot is a bad idea with Wilder.

    I wonder, could make for a very good fight, Ruiz gets close to Wilder then who knows.
    I'd like to see this & odd's are it will happen before AJ as I can not see Wilder fighting AJ.

    He did what he had to do, but by no means did he look great at that style. Far cry from Mayweather.
