    What do you want a medal? How emotional do you sound?! Control your emotions.

    LOL. Wlad would have knocked Ortiz out early. Ortiz is a sucker for right hands, which happens to be Wlad's best punch.

    i think aj skills are better than usyk. if we are strictly talking technique and form. better than fury too. usyk is faster, more creative, more athletic. aj is more basic, more awkward, less mobile. but as far as traditional boxing goes, what you would want to teach a pupil, aj has those skills down better. its what keeps him on top despite the limitations i noted. thats why i think he will outbox fury, if he can ever drag him to a ring.

    Now you're exaggerating. Turn your emotions down.

    You legitimately forgot that you told me to shut up when you were writing that first comment and now you tried to overplay it with your wanna be coolness.

    Nope, not forgotten at all. I didn't quote you in my first post. It was a generalised statement. You got all emotional in your post and then you start adding expletives to statements I've made for dramatic effect and made your self look like an emotional wreck.

    Hearn did say they're considering it in an interview.

    Ruiz wasn't considered to be much of anything before beating AJ, stop acting like he was always considered to be a world class top 5 heavyweight.

    He said the exact same thing in the Tyson Fury build up yet nothing happened. It's possibly a negotiation tactic. Unless Aj and Fury are planning to strip both of their belts to fight eachother i don't see it

    Yeah, they barely had get approval form orgs to use ruiz as late replacement for cash cow in AJ to fight with.
    And almost all commentators in forums and YT comments had laughed and called: easy night in the office for Josh, KO win etc.

    Ruiz Jr was damn heavy underdog, ranked between 10-15 and considered as fat obese no hoper noname nobody. :p

    A bigger, stronger Chris Byrd with better foot movement would be a very tall order for Joshua.

    An enormous duck that only highlights how much of a threat the Ukrainian is!

    I still hope that Joshua will end up going ahead with the Usyk tussle. It would be too damaging to duck. It would never be forgotten.
