Don't know about regaining a belt again. Not sure it even matters for him, he probably never expected to be champion anyway. But he can definitely establish himself as a top 5 HW of this era. I personally would love to see him in against Whyte, Povetkin, Joyce, Usyk. Wilder v Ruiz is probably one of my favorite matchups that can be made in boxing, that should be built into a PPV in US.
Id like to see him vs Wilder or Whyte Sadly as much as i despise Whyte, he is the only only one that will be a willing participant
Agreed, I cant see Wilder taking that fight considering his track record. I think Wilder has a better chance of beating Ruiz than Whyte aswell, but great fights none the less
Ruiz vs Wilder is a great fight for one of them. The winner will be auto 1st contender and get a title match. They'll have to wait a year until the two (count 'em friends) two Joshua vs Fury fights play out but that's better than nothing. Of course the loser will be finished, done, gone, buh bye but that's boxing.
Honestly, I don't even know if Ruiz was the best heavyweight in that gym last week. I'd give Frank Sanchez a decent chance of beating him.
