Foreman was a gold medalist at a very young age. He had an extensive amateur background. Plus, he had some grueling fights like Ali and Lyle. He also had one against a prime Holyfield during his comeback. You are making excuses for Ortiz chin being bad because of his age but he might have always had poor punch resistance.
The ruiz who first beat AJ would probably beat wilder. The problem with ruiz jr you never know what you're going to get. Wilder is more consistent but an on ruiz jr can beat him.
I think people are discounting Ruiz too much in a Wilder fight. We have no idea what Wilder has left, and Ruiz has potential to land some hard shots. It's still a dangerous fight for Wilder, imo. Hope I'm wrong and Wilder sends him to the shadow realm early though.
Wilder absolutely cleans Ruiz Jr out. Wilder makes light work of him. If you need rounds off against a 55 year old man pawing out a jab then you have no chance against Wilder.
Deontay getting wins over helenius and ruiz would be a halfway decent comeback for him. Give him a title shot after that.
No more than 6'. More likely 5'11. Him, Browne and Babic are the exaggerators when it comes to their height. (And Browne/Babic are two of my favorite fighters)
You are making excuses for Ortiz age being a factor for him being chinny. I think Foreman fought Briggs at 47 and got jobbed. My point is Ortiz might have always been chinny. He never faced another elite HW in his career except for Wilder, who knocked him out twice.
