Do you see Ruiz lasting long as champ or will he become another Buster Douglas?

Yeah I tend to agree, Ruiz doesn't strike me as championship material, his style was all bad for AJ.

That's not to take away from what he brings to the division, this guy will whoop a lot of peoples asses. But no champion who intends to stay champion has the work ethic to balloon to 268 pounds @ 40% bodyfat lol.

Discipline is a key attribute.

We'll see if fame goes to his head or not, that will be interesting - either way he is famous forever.

 

Ruiz will win the rematch providing it doesn't take place in the uk when all odds will be rigged against him.

After that who knows how well he will fare against the other champions in the division.

 

You can tell who has or hasn't actually watched Ruiz fight in the past...

 

His skill is real. You hit him, he hits back automatically. He'll be a hard fight for anyone, anywhere. I just hope he can keep his weight in check.

 

Wilder probably wants to avoid Ruiz. If old man Ortiz took him to deep waters, Ruiz will do much worse to him. Gotta understand that Ruiz's skill level is off the charts compared to these limited guys like Wilder and AJ. He's closer to Fury if Fury had enough power to keep guys honest and could fight coming forward. Go youtube Ruiz. He backs everyone up, 24/7.

 

I think he's not mobile enough to have much of a chance against Wilder. I could be wrong though.

 

I honestly think Ruiz will beat Joshua in the rematch and he has a legitimate chance of beating wilder. I think the difference between the top heavyweights and those that are considered a level below the top, is not that great.

Not like the welterweight division for example where the elites are head and shoulders above the rest.

I think any of the current top/elite heavyweights are capable of beating each other.

 

Another one who hasn't seen Ruiz fight.

 

He beats Wilder. Wilder would go down quicker than AJ. Ortiz is a slow old man so he beats him as well.

Fury and Usyk outpoint him with relative ease. Parker might beat him again if they fought.

 

There will be a rematch with Joshua November/December.

Zero chance Ruiz Jr got this fight without signing an iron-clad contract, with a rematch if he won.

Going to be intriguing to see how it pans out. Ruiz Jr knows if he beats AJ again, he'll be a megastar.

There will be so much tension in that fight.

 

True, I admit it. Well - other than the AJ fight.
