    Not a fan of wilder at all but he ices Ruiz. The guys you mentioned are tall and szpilka is a southpaw with decent skills and footwork all of these presented difficulties because they could manipulate range with their height or skills and footwork.

    Slow footed guys like stiverne, arreola Ruiz or breazale are dead meat for wilder because they simply can't get close enough punish him enough for his various mistakes.

    How is Ruiz going to land combinations on Wilders head? Wilder for all his flaws has quick reactions.

    He's a bum(in terms of his boxing skills) but has extreme athleticism and explosiveness similar to razor Ruddock except it's the right hand instead of the left that he catches guys with.
    And there are certain styles that he will look spectacular against and Ruiz is just made for him

    Totally disagree. Ruiz wasn't any different than he always was. His feet didn't suddenly any faster, it was Joshua who stepped into HIS range.
    Joshua just had shockingly poor recuperation and stamina.
    He takes far too long to recover from getting hurt and he has stopped using his physicality to win fights since the klitschko fight

    This. When will people learn. I remember people thinking Ruiz would be easy pickings for Joshua despite Ruiz being known for his chin and fast hands. Wilder is explosive and isn't as stiff as Joshua is, and has a better chin, but just the same makes a lot of mistakes. If Wilder doesn't pace himself and headhunts too much he could definitely lose to Ruiz, who unlike Fury will take advantage of every opening Wilder gives him and won't take off rounds showboating.

    Not very smart to bet against anyone with both knockout power and very fast handspeed.

    Ruiz has never been stopped. Always with the early round KO.

    Sure, it is possible, but fatboy has good skills and if he can avoid the only real threat, which is the straight right, through head movement, guard, shoulder roll etc then I can see him getting on the inside and hurting Windmill Man.

    Look at the Change in physique from Liahkovich to Joshua in ruiz.
    Do you need glasses?
    He added a strength and conditioning coach, hired two trainers that hold mitts, and a dietician.
    The guy rededicated himself.
    It’s easy to see his body was completely diff.

    I don't agree with you but that was a well-reasoned post, and a good one.

    No, you are delusional. Joshua has always been the same Joshua as to why I predicted Ruiz winning. Styles make fights.
