    I disagree. Ruiz Jr took AJ's best shots and endured. He has a granite chin.

    I'm a big fan of Andy and think he can take Wilder, however Wilder always has a big puncher's chance against anyone so I'd really love to watch this fight.

    Plus this:

    Mike Tyson fought 15 fights in his first pro year. Few fights and add the cost of PPV and is hard to be a fan nowadays. I'm stupid excited for joyce zang next week - an actual good fight I can afford.

    When AJ opened up he put Ruiz down... then Ruiz returned fire brilliantly and hurt AJ, then it was all downhill for AJ from then on.

    In the 2nd fight AJ was very tentative and didn't put together any sustained or heavy attacks.... he kept very much behind the jab and clocked up about 250 miles around the ring.

    @Furey still, he was just 1 punch away from being knocked out. The man has no chin.

    I think Ruiz Jr endures Wilder's best shots. Ruiz Jr is better than Wilder.

    This fight is fine, but it needed to happen in March or April, not later summer or something. These guys are just too inactive. HW sucks right now

    If Andy Ruiz was knocked down in the Wilder fight and then got hit like this:

    ... that would probably be the end of the fight. Especially not to have second knockdown. Especially if Andy Ruiz knocks Wilder down after a knockdown and such a punch. That's the problem with Wilder.

    Ruiz has been garbage since the Joshua win,if he does have a good chin we will find out in the Wilder fight. It’s hard to gauge against Joshua as his power has always been over rated. I can’t see nothing else but a brutal KO win for Wilder and probably before the half way mark . A shot Arreola had him down in the 2nd,should have also been counted in the third .

    The unveiling of his statue was like a religious experience for him. The Bronze Bomber is back and is fighting for his legacy and to inspire people around the world.

    Wilders speed would be the difference. Ruiz has fast hands too, but he won’t see that right hand until it’s too late.

    Ruiz has no head movement and is a counter puncher. He's going to get hit big and it will be all about if he can survive a hit.

    Ruiz's chin and whether or not he can get past Wilder's right hand will be big factors in the outcome of the fight. Also, Wilder is 37 or 38 now, his speed will start slipping sooner or later, it's one of the ways he compensates for lack of technique. Wilder can't fight on the inside, where Ruiz is dangerous.
