    Would be insane
    He needs to fight a solid unranked guy or two to build up his confidence and his KO numbers again then maybe try a live body.

    That looks like what is being planned.

    This fight will answer the question about Fury-Wilder true level

    Were they fighting in a lower dimension than Andy Ruiz - Anthony Joshua? Anthony Joshua fans believe so, glorifying Andy Ruiz as the #1 Heavyweight

    Andy Ruiz is the de-facto #1 Heavyweight of Anthony Joshua fans (who undermine Wilder resume, debasing Fury in the process)

    Its also a big gamble, because if Wilder KOs Anthony Joshua owner, then Anthony Joshua fans will not be able to convince themselves that Anthony Joshua is at least a level below Deontay Wilder...

    Ruiz would kick Wilder out of his shoes, this would be a fantastic fight.

    Ruiz will demolish Wilder.

    Wilder must have pissed his handlers off if they arent going to build him back up with some sacrificial lambs.

    Now they are feeding him to Ruiz.

    Ruiz should have some good momentum after this. Hopefully he doesnt eat it away like last time.

    In good shape enough motivated Ruiz yeah.:D
    Ruiz does have a lot of flaws but his counter punching skills are better than A.J skills and even Usyk's.
    He does have a bit better defense than A.J btw.

    Flaws there ofc are a lot too, Ruiz still isn't almost 1 handed.

    I'd be surprised if Wilder didn't KO Ruiz by mid rounds.

    Deontay Wilder will be the first man to stop Andy Ruiz, it will not be easy something like Felix Trinidad vs Fernando Vargas except closer...

    Andy Ruiz is extremely tough, Anthony Joshua played it safe for a reason in the rematch...Expect Andy Ruiz to catch Deontay Wilder clean multiple times, probably dropping Wilder.

    Deontay Wilder Imperial-Ego will be the difference unlike Anthony Joshua...Deontay Wilder Grandiosity means there is no resignation...he will stick to is plan of KOing Andy Ruiz, eventually catching Andy Ruiz with a 1350psi punch & the brave Andy Ruiz will get knocked out like every man Deontay Wilder faced

    Nah. Hes gonna get wrecked.

    But I hope youre right. Would be his best win and would plant him firmly back near the top and as a force to be reckoned with again.

    But... not gonna happen. He will be fighting the most dangerous opponent hes fought in his first fight back from a demolition beat down loss that has obviously left him mentally vulnerable, on top of a layoff, and being 35 years old.

    Ruiz stops him.

    All this means is hes going to take a worse beating.

    Once again, the plan, at least as was reported, is for Wilder to fight a tune-up first.

    Same with Ruiz. He is fighting Arreolas first.

    Both guys are getting a tune-up fight which is wise as both have been inactive and coming off losses.

    Right on.

    I think he still loses but will be good for him to get a tune up.

    Andy Ruiz will not be able to go the 12rds without absorbing a high psi punch, Deontay Wilder trains for KOs, his reach and speed will compliment his courage...to get up when dropped. Joshua had the reach and psi to KO Andy Ruiz, but he got deterred by the claws of the cornered Bear, when dropped Joshua was never ever able to launch an offensive again, even in the rematch!...Big credit for Andy Ruiz.

    Deontay Wilder can't be intimidated or deterred, nothing changed mentally except that the public got a glimpse of how Wilder sees the world. In his mind he always believed he has to win by KO because everybody is actively conspiring against him (which is true), so he can't settle for judges or even train for points-boxing. He will come for the KO and 93% he will get the KO
