    Okay so they are about the same but Parker is not a puncher and Ruiz looked far more lethal v AJ.

    Ruiz looked pretty poor against Arreola and Grandpa Ortiz. He could win if he's in good form, but might drop a UD if not.

    Ruiz is good but he is there to be hit, which is a bad strategy against Wilder.

    I think Wilder probably knocks out Ruiz.

    Parker didn't show his power in that fight, he never managed to hit AJ with much. In fact his best shot in that fight was immediately followed by the ref stopping action for some reason :)

    What about the other 13 fights where he failed to floor his opponent?

    Parker is not all that powerful, but neither is Ruiz, who also failed to stop a similar number.

    Ruiz has no head movement, slow feet, and would get outjabbed.

    KO

    This is the fight Wilder should take

    Ruiz landed more on Parker than Wilder did and threw more jabs.

    Because Parker is shorter. Ruiz is 6 foot. Linear logic don't apply to the sport. Ruiz would struggle to outbox Deontay despite how crap of a boxer he is is due to physical dimensions. Even if he did, Wilder would probably still land quite a bit.

    If Ruiz can KO Joshua he can certainly KO Wilder.

    Right Hand, and Chris was like... 42 ?

    Wait a minute, Didn't Wilder also do way better against a younger Arreola ? Why is that

    You know the answer. Smf - styles make fights

    Wilder needs to retire.
