Whyte’s punch resistance has been non-existent since the Povetkin fight. If we are talking prime versions though I would lean towards Whyte out pointing Ruiz though showing grit like he did against Rivas and Parker.
If Ruiz can make AJ quit, he can sure as hell KTFO Whyte. But if he comes in carrying half a vegas buffet on his hips, its a different story. I'm going with Ruiz, mid-late KO
Whyte's porous defence and awful chin, combined with Ruiz's counter punching, should result in a KO for Ruiz. Whyte probably does well until he gets caught and put down.
Would be like pacman gobbling up a ghost. Ruiz being the pacman, Whyte being hurt and running for dear life until he's trapped in the corner and pummeled by fatso. It's just a fact, but the mid 267 lb blob, has still dropped Joshua and Ortiz down four times each. He's too dangerous to leaky defense heavyweights like Whyte.
Dunno if Whyte is as bad as some make out but we won't be able to deduce much from his D class next opponent.
This will be very competitive both whyte and Ruiz are grossly overrated. Whyte looked embarrassing against a lumbering Fury. That said can you imagine what would happen if Ruiz ate Whytes monstrous catch left hook like how he did Against 40 yo ghost Arreola. I think Whyte long intentful heavy jab could cause Ruiz problems. But also Ruizs fast combos probs wont go down to well for Whyte
