    The only belt Ruiz really wants is the Yellow Mustard belt from Nathan’s Hot Dog eating competition.

    I'm honestly not confident in him either but please tag and read my whole comment - I just think if he does decide to have another fight, there are some good match ups for him that would make fun fights. Age is not on his side either at 35 on top of the momentum he has taken in the last few years.

    It is very disappointing that he has lived off massively from the AJ fights.

    Still don't get the cruiserweight talk. Plenty of HW's were in the area of 6 foot tall. Ruiz has no discipline. Keeps talking about recommitment and coming back in shape yet never does.

    Ruiz and Wilder would be a natural, as both have hit bottom. The problem is, even Wilder has a couple of other options with AJ or Ngannou.

    A rubber with Joshua seems natural...but the Brits don't want to see it. So who would they sell it to?

    Andy has put himself in a situation where no one wants to see him.

    He is just looking for yes man at this point. He just doesn’t have the hunger for boxing, just the buffet line.

    The Chisora fight would do OK here

    I'll hold my excitement until Ruiz scores an impressive win over a top ten opponent........

    Too little, too late for Ruiz. He wasted his prime weighting ;) for big fights he wasn't going to get.

    After his second fight against Joshua, he was radioactive. Not too many promoters going to take a chance on a guy like that.

    He has not looked good in his comeback attempts.

    He's had knee and hand problems.

    He's always been slow of foot but age, injury and excessive weight don't help that situation.

    Put that together and I believe he's done.

    He will fight on a bit longer because that's what he knows.

    He had some talent and could have made more noise but the history of the sport is littered with guys who could have been something.

    No, but based upon Andy’s social media posts, it would seem as though he is happy vacationing rather than serious training.

    Robles couldn't control him before, what's changed now?
