IZ ON! This is the most exciting bout that can be made in my eyes. I could see Tyson trying to move all night, but Ruiz has faster hands than Wilder and good power. Plus, he has about the same amount of mass that Tyson does. Who takes it?
Fury beats Ruiz handily, too much reach and height. Bad style matchup for Andy. Tyson is going to lean on him any chance he gets.
Probably the worst matchup around for Ruiz, not a fight I’d be too excited about much rather Joshua rematch or Wilder for Andy
He might win, but it won't be easy. Ruiz went the distance with Parker. He can last. Plus, him being shorter was an advantage against Joshua. I can see him using that to his advantage and going to the body against Fury. Tyson might win, but he'll have to earn it.
I do think Fury will have an advantage, but I won't count Ruiz out. Tyson has been knocked down at heavyweight by smaller men (Cunningham). Andy with a good 260 lbs. of force behind his punches can have a similar effect to Wilder and Cunningham.
Just a theoretical matchup. I wish it was next! I'd rather see this now than a rematch with Joshua. I think they should wait on that one, but I understand Joshua needs to try and get that win back as soon as possible for the image.
Ruiz is competitive with HWs taller than him because he moves better. But he doesn't move better than Fury. So that brings back into the equation 'height and reach' and on both counts Tyson has too much for this fight to be anything other than a comfortable points win for the bigger man....
I think Ruiz is Great, but this is a step to far IMO....I would LOVE to be wrong in this case though!
I seen that before... LewIS TysON! Way back in 2003! And Ruiz would look like a shot Mike Tyson. Fury wouldn't stop Ruiz but he would box his ears off.
Fury kills him with a jab, Ruiz doesn't land a single headshot on Fury, only a few bodyshots. Ruiz will look worse than Chisora II after that fight
