Andy Ruiz Jr vs Deontay Wilder, who wins?

The result will be decided by 2 factors. 1 does Ruiz bother even training and 2 can he take Wilder's punches. If it's a negative on both then he gets KO'ed. But if it's a positive then he could conceivably beat Wilder, perhaps even stop him.

Ruiz will no doubt be pressing and put Wilder on the back foot and he'll do what he usually does, creep forward behind his guard and look to catch and counter. But just because Fury had success coming forward doesn't mean Ruiz will. He's much shorter and has a far shorter reach he will have to take shots to land shots unlike Fury and against a puncher like Wilder that probably won't work, unless he can walk through Wilder's best shots.

I think it would be competitive, with Ruiz giving Wilder problems all night but in the end Ruiz tires which allows Wilder to land one of his bombs flush and then he finishes Ruiz off late in the fight.

 

Ruiz is 6' even though he is listed at 6'2". That's a about 7 inches in height difference. Wilder lives on shorter opponents. Wilder KO in a tough fight.
Ruiz is getting overrated here.
He's not as special as people make him out to be.

 

I think a lot more heavyweights will be more confident in getting to Wilder after seeing what Fury did but the difference is Fury is several levels above every other heavyweight. In saying that I do think that Ruiz on his day is one of the more skilled guys at heavyweight so I would not count him out as he does have a good chin.

 

If Wilder goes on after Fury beats him again, he needs to continue to cherry-pick. Romanov is the best fight for him. Chisora, when Del Boy fades a little bit. Maybe get Chagaev of Haye out of retirement. Browne would be perfect.

Ruiz will be flat out too tough for him, training or no.

 

The Destroyer

 

Wilder knocks him sparks out. No joke, Ruiz will actually hit the canvas so hard, he will break through it and into the Earth.

 

Such ignorance, then again that's nothing surprising from simpletons. As soon as a fighter loses for at least 1-2 months he loses to everyone in fantasy matchups. Ortiz is more skilled than Ruiz and Wilder beat him twice.

 

Why is Wilder all of a sudden trash and threads like these are popping up?

 

>all of a sudden

 

I picked Ruiz to beat Wilder before the second Fury fight, and I still pick him now, with the caveat that he actually trains for the fight and comes in around 260 (only mildly morbidly obese). His style is geared to causing Wilder all sorts of problems, unless Wilder can keep him at bay with the jab and fight off the backfoot, which isn't something he's bothered to do in years.

 

If that ain’t altered, that’s the look of fear right there.
