    Wilder would put Ruiz in the first Snickers Casket.
    Fury 12-0 Ruiz

    Tyson Fury has spent his entire career fighting in a way that UDs Ruiz with ease

    Wilder likes to keep it long too, but lacks the basic boxing skills to stop a clever inside fighter getting into mid range and close range. For that reason Ruiz could potentially stop Wilder.

    Agree - can't see how Ruiz beats Fury, who is tall, boxes long and is very skilful. It is HW boxing so anything is possible.

    Wilder on the other hand brings in that fight changing cannon, but not too much more. If Deontay can't land it / KO Ruiz with it given Ruiz has a good chin, he may be helpless to those speedy combinations, which will see him dismantled. That being said, Wilder's power keeps all his opponents wary enough not to wildly rush in, which may be enough to keep Ruiz at bay.

    He’s a threat to the world Snickers supply.

    Stock up before it’s too late.

    I can't see Tyson Fury losing to Ruiz at all.
    Fury would use his reach and footwork and outpoint Ruiz.

    Ruiz is a real threat to Wilder though, and probably better than anyone Wilder has ever beat (old man Ortiz is the only good contender Wilder ever beat - the rest were bums) .... and I would have said the same thing before Ruiz beat Joshua.
    I'd probably make Wilder favourite to beat him because he has a massive reach advantage too - but I reckoned Joshua should have beat Ruiz for that same reason, and I don't rate Wilder's boxing skills as better than AJ's.
    Wilder apparently has incredible power though, more devastating per-one-punch than AJ, and might bail him out again.

    You bought the Brit Hype job hook line and sinker......

    AJ went life and death with a shot beyond shot WK who had not won a fight in years....

    Povetkin is the definition of a never was....

    Parker aint got no fire in the belly, a nobody and the rest are sub par cannon fodder

    Aj does not fight tall and never will, has zero Ring Iq, a glass chin and poor stamina.......all that will always be his achilles heel because when the going gets rough he will fall right back into his usual self.........and everyone that is fresh and comes to win will lay him out.......and I am not even getting into his feeble quitting mindset or choking like a Highschool kid first time away from home.

    Ruiz is a fighter, a good one too but his is not this mythical dragon slayer otherwise he would have finished the Bodybuilder in the 4th instead of letting him off the hook and back into the fight.

    Ruiz is too open, too game and leaves his chin out to dry everytime he throws more than one shot........deadly mistakes against Wilder who fights tall, unorthodox, has more pop than AJ and is way faster of hand and foot plus he does not gas.........Ruiz would fight way less agressively against Wilder because of the above.........Ruiz is a dream fight for Wilder, a guy that comes to trade and blocks right haands with his chin.......i bet my bottom dollar that Wilder is the last out of the big three Ruiz is eager to fight.....

    Ruiz can walk through fire. But Wilder punches hard than Joshua
