    They're 1-1. Tied and thats being generous. Ruiz obliterated aj in front of millions 2 weeks notice and aj ran like a trackstar in the rematch, meanwhile Ruiz was just coming out of pizza hut. The wins aren't comparable. More like 1.5-0.5. Ruiz has the advantage. aj should shut his critics up by rematching Ruiz and beating him in a dogfight feet planted chin tucked in bombs away. If the bodybuilder beats him the narrative will be he's improved massively and people will try and justify an Usyk trillogy.

    this is the perfect plan it can't go wrong

    Ruiz has no advantage. He disrespected himself, his fans and the sport coming in overweight and out of shape for the biggest fight of his life.

    As for AJ "having" to do anything, let alone fight on the inside, that is laughable nonsense.

    Are you okay man?

    You can tell that AJ has been doing well and Fury is currently seen as a turd by the frequency of threads like this.

    can you also make a thread on how Fury needs to rematch Ngannou and Wallin for struggling so hard where AJ flattened both in short order.

    Ruiz is too busy going toe to toe with the buffet.

    Andy Ruiz isn’t even an active HW at the moment.

    At the minute, he’s completely irrelevant in the division.

    Yep Ruiz is 1.5 - 0.5 up at the moment

    joshua wouldn’t dare fight obese Andy the way he fought the 0-1 mma novice

    What's the point?

    Ruiz would be both rusty and in awful shape - zero credit would be given, just as it isn't (somewhat rightly) already for the rematch they already had.

    There's nothing much that can be proved by this, nor does an off-night loss that gets avenged once really need to be avenged twice... I didn't see any calls for Lewis-McCall 3 or Lewis-Rahman 3 :lol:

    He should have fought Ruiz in his rebuilding phase after Usyk. I would rather see AJ fight the top fighters going forwards which Ruiz is not at the moment

    If AJ fought Ruiz the same way he fought Ngannou he'd ko Ruiz. AJ didn't take Ruiz seriously first time, call it arrogance and he paid for it. Second fight AJ adapted and boxed when many on here said he couldnt adapt and the result would be the same. If they went again AJ would take him seriously and annihilate him in 4-6 rounds possibly less as Ruiz would probably start training a week before and gorge on snickers and pizza all night before the fight.

    You know it's a shame he's been so inactive that now he's being discarded, especially when you consider he has only two losses and those were by decision to two guys -- AJ and Parker -- who now are in most folks' top-5 and championship conversations.... and you've got guys with poorer records, like Whyte, being talked up for shots at AJ.

    "He needs to fight Ruiz the way i want him to"
    Wtf
    He avenged his loss wide the 2nd time around and Ruiz has faded to the background of the division. Who cares at this point?
