    If he beats Joshua he might see a similar rise in popularity as Khabib did when he beat Conor

    ha ha ha, you think in the world are 1m purists? IG followers number he does have.

    Yeah, you need big hero who easily 1. quickly achieves KDs 2. KOs ppl quickly 3. stand and bang.

    Then you get desirable prospect like Rollies and are happy, until he was not able to finish next opponent.
    Disappointment, search next KO king.

    He’s pretty big, would not see anyone comparing his size to Ali’s etc.

    He’s not 15% body fat though, and never will be, so not comparable.

    right, but hes not a big guy like shw boxers are, hes just carrying the luggage that makes him weigh what they do. so, ruiz was king for a short spell, over all the mastodons in the division.

    For a guy with a serial killer smile and weird haircut given to goofy dance breaks...yeah, surprisingly.

    He is a big guy 270 pounds, bigger than Joshua. By the way I’m talking about real Ruiz, not the fictional 200 pound version your talking about.

    hes a fat guy, theres a difference from a big guy. a big guy has longer, thicker bones, that are unimpeded by a layer of useless weight slowing it down.

    Boxing is split up in to weight categories for a reason. Ruiz is bigger than Joshua by quite a bit, does not compare in anyway, shape or form with Usyk beating Joshua.

    Fury wouldn’t even be ahead of Jean Claude Van Damme and Julio Cesar Cesar much less the original and best J.C. Superstar. :headbang:
