Does anyone actually think Andy Ruiz has a legitimate shot at beating Fury?

    I sure don't. Would be an absolute snooze fest as Fury wins a comfortable unanimous decision.

    It'll never happen. Fury will ask for a 95-5 split, and demand that the 3 judges at ringside be Ali's corpse, a George Foreman grill, and the Tazmanian Devil.

    No it's an awful match up for Ruiz.

    A big man with a jab is terrible for Ruiz. If Joshua can beat him with a Jab, Fury will crap all over him.

    Ruiz has absolutely no chance. Easy fight for Fury, which is why the fight will likely get made.

    It's never as unlikely as one thinks.

    (But still very unlikely)

    I will quote "the Boss", Bruce Springsteern here: I believe in a Promised Land. However, I don't believe Ruiz can beat Fury.

    If Fury fights on the outside, no, it will be an easy UD for him.

    Fury-Ruiz would come close to becoming the heaviest title fight in history.

    Nicolai Valuev and Jameel McCline was an unbelievable 590 combined pounds. (Valuev 322/McCline 268)

    Don't think we'd get that high.

    I think it does happen next. Fury needs to try to recover credibility quickly and Andy is honestly the easiest fight stylistically for Fury. Andy is too slow to close the gap and Fury has so many ways to win. Plus, he gets to say he beat the former unified champion who KOd AJ
