    A mess, with Ruiz finishing stronger. USA, Ruiz gets it, UK, Whyte gets it, Saudi, a-side gets it. That kind if thing.

    The fans naturally, can’t believe anyone would ever want to remember enough of Ruiz to do a break down.

    I'd take Ruiz. He was smarter and better conditioned.

    Quiet Man in the mid rounds. I just don't see what Whyte has for him and assume folks are looking at the MWs who kicked his ass and thinking this dude was trash, and sure, for a HW champion. Something Dillian Whyte has never been. As a pro HW boxer John's a real good contender. He had skill and once upon a time wasn't even fat or nothing.

    In a fair fight with the rules properly enforced against Ruiz, so he can't use his illegal holding tactics and other shameful shenanigans, that glorified clubfighter loses to Whyte every time out.

    With Don King's judges and refs gaming the system for that cheater like happened when he was in his "prime" - such as it was for this talentless fraud - who knows?

    Whyte is a better puncher and has dropped fighters like Parker, Chisora, with single shots who have sturdy chins. I think Whyte could win this but he has faded late in fights so I think Ruiz could pull it out via decision in an ugly fight.
