    Both guys just lost their biggest fights in embarrassing fashion and I think it makes sense to put these 2 guys together while they make Fury vs Joshua. Who wins at this stage? Wilder or Ruiz?

    Wilder should take a step down and fight Kownacki in NYC. That would be a big fight here. If he wins, then move on to Ruiz or Whyte; if he loses, time to retire.

    Eventually, but not now.

    I think Wilder needs a confidence building type fight and get his mojo back against the likes of shwartz (dont know his name but furys ex opponent) or even a fight against martin... while starting a public buildup of a Ruiz fight tobtake place towards the end of next year.

    Also... the AJ fight is still a very real possibility and a much much better option that Ruiz. Id feed Wilder some KOs and build for an AJ fight for late next year. If not that, then Ruiz.

    Wilder should fight Wallin. If he KO's him it be a way to set up the third match.

    Is Ruiz still in boxing? Haven’t seen him in a while and for all we know, he could be pushing 400lbs. Might not even be able to climb the stairs into the ring. That would be an embarrassing way to start the fight.

    Martin would be much better than Schwarz. He can both punch and box a little and has some name value as an ex trinket holder.

    I don't want Deontay thrown into the colosseum filled with hamburgers ,.with that disgusting blob. Not with that injured leg, that would be too cruel. Let the man recover.

    Ya. He also probably has a slight legitimate chance in the fight too. Its actually a semi interesting matchup to me at the moment, with Wilders comebacking form and nentality in question.

    That would probably be the fight to make, for Wilder.

    Then Ruiz. I'd like to see if that idiot could still make a proper run at the title. He's young enough to still be a player so if he were to beat Wilder then great, another solid contender if he doesn't after showing up like a blob again then we should leave him wherever we find him.

    I don't think Miller deserves anything. He's a complete moron.

    Moron or not hes an undefeated American heavyweight and decent draw in the east coast market

    Martin and wilder have Barclay experience and it could be a good event

    Off the drugs he's probably target practice. He probably was going to be that anyway but what's he done since not being properly banned for being a walking chemistry set?

    No ones come near him since hard to say

    Would like to see some fat trimming fights. Too many guys hovering around in the division and need to be knocked off

    Well let's make Ruiz vs Miller then. I already suggested a name for it 'Whales on the Scales'.
