Could a fit Andy Ruiz defeat Usyk?

Ruiz is smaller than Usyk. Usyk is around 189cm (I saw him IRL). Ruiz is probably around 1m83.

 

If Ruiz had 2 extra arms and was in top shape ... and high on PCP ...

 

You can have a fat Usyk and a fit Ruiz and Usyk would still beat Ruiz easily.

 

**** no. Never.

 

No

Usyk would outbox him every round to a 120-108.

Ruiz doesn't have the footwork nor the IQ to compete with Usyk.

 

Ruiz is too stationary. I think someone of Usyks size is the only real threat at the moment. He's proved that these huge guys are just target practice, he's always got a punching lane due to his agility and footwork and they can't keep up with his work rate.
Another guy moving up from cruiser is probably his biggest test. He's beaten the low tier opponents, the gate keepers, belt holders, freakish fighters and one of the younger heavys and none have had an answer.
If Ruiz was younger fitter and had foot work to speak of then he might be an interesting fight but not now.

 

Maybe, Ruiz still has fast hands and if he was in tip top shape might be able to pull the upset.

 

I like fat Andy



But, nah.

 

No version of Ruiz beats Usyk.

These two are not even in the same stratosphere.

 

Nobody thought Ruiz would beat Joshua neither. Nobody thought pac would bea.t DLH Too. Nobody thought Douglas would beat Tyson.

 

I think Ruiz feet are too slow

 

A fit Andy Ruiz is fighting at 175

 

Hell no!
Andy is fast but his overall game is not on the level..
It goes beyond him being a tubbo.
