    Andy Ruiz is regressing. He's not the fighter he used to be.

    Here's how I have him against these fighters.

    - Fury wins by TKO
    - Usyk wins by UD
    - AJ wins by UD
    - Wilder wins by KO
    - Sanchez wins by UD
    - Parker wins by UD
    - Hrgovic wins by UD
    - Zhang wins by KO
    - Joyce wins by UD

    Sanchez? Sanchez hasn’t proven anything. Neither has Zhang or Hrgovic.

    Not very succesful imo. Though hed make for good fights and might produce some shockers.

    Zhang beat Ruiz twice as an amateur, once by points and once by KO. Sanchez did beat Ajagba easily who beat Demirezen who beat Kownacki who beat Arreola (who gave a good fight vs Ruiz), Martin (who put down Ortiz x2, Ortiz nearly beat Ruiz) and Gerald Washington.

    I agree with picks here, except I still think Ruiz would go the distance with Fury. Otherwise spot on imo.

    looked like the same Ruiz as always. Dangerous when he can punch with you, but almost harmless against a mobile opponent.

    Arslanbek and Jared Anderson both KO him if they matched now. Theyd beat most that list too.

    Yeah... Hrgovic is getting knocked out if he ate those combinations Ortiz did.

    He loses to most of the top 10 imo, mainly because of his laziness, most guys would just outwork him especially since they're all taller. Ortiz would lose to most as well but in his case its because the legs are gone.

    AJ fought him twice, didn't happen. Joyce would probably win via decision unless Ruiz can get inside enough.

    Ruiz and the Temple of Doom. Gotta guard for that at all times. He should stay active and fight as many of these fighters as he can, his power makes him a threat and all opponents have to be on their game.

    Those concrete feet are his downfall. His pitty patter won't deter anyone with a chin either remember Ortiz went down from a Martin jab his jaw is def cracked and ruiz couldn't keep him on the floor..

    This was Andy Ruiz during this peak. He was much more active. His weight was 255.

    The Andy Ruiz we saw tonight was fat and lazy.

    Its looking like ruiz is just an average HW that got lucky AJ has a big ego and wanted to trade in the pocket with him that first fight
