    There's plenty of decent heavyweights available for December - some haven't fought in several months. Others like Bakole and Makhmudov recently had a stay-busy fight against a very soft opponent, and so should be ready to fight again in December.

    Joshua. Andy is much more thinner now and can kill bodybuilder with the right strategy.

    Strategy is cutting the ring well.

    Martin Bakole, I think Ruiz needs an opponent and Bakole needs a big opportunity.

    That's highly unlikely though, so being realistic.. Luis Ortiz

    It should be an easy fight to make.

    Ruiz would have Bakole on toast.

    Ruiz gets really overrated around here.
    His only outstanding win was a lucky shot vs AJ followed by a shutout loss to AJ.

    He's not beat anyone of note and his 2nd best achievement is giving Joe Parker a close fight

    Most realistic opponent that I would be interested in is Luis Ortiz

    Both PBC, theoretically shouldn't be hard to make

    Joyce would be my pick.
    I'm not expecting anyone remotely good though. Maybe they will will dust off old man Ortiz.

    Joyce is all wrong for Ruiz

    He needs to fight the urge to eat food servings bigger than his head.

    Gassiesv. But that is because I like Gassiev.

    To advance is career, he could probably get Ortiz.

    Ruiz vs Ortiz

    Hrgovic vs Bakole

    Joyce vs Gassiev (I want Joyce to feel that power)

    Pulev vs Zhang

    His 15 minutes of fame is over and he still has millions left so no urgency in making a real run. More like milking any money he can make for the time being.

    Don't really care. It won't be anyone remotely in the actual top ten, and likely another washed up American name. Maybe Martin or Washington or someone like that.

    Ruiz isn't someone who's going to actively pursue greatness. He'll take an opportunity if it falls into his lap but otherwise he'll be content to coast.
