    If Joshua wins the rematch against Ruiz should there be a rubber match?

    Yup. They could do the trilogy fight on the undercard of Wilder vs. Stiverne III.

    It depends on the manner of the second fight. If he dominates from start to finish and ends with a brutal ko of Ruiz then I doubt it. However I don't see that happening. The rematch is 50/50 maybe even 60/40 in favour of Ruiz.

    Good question and why not, doubt AJ would take soon, but further down the line.

    The more I watched the fight again, the more I see AJ was completely dominated. He didn't take Ruiz lightly, he was in top form.

    He had plenty of time to recover, but he was just hit too hard and too often by Ruiz. He got broken down fair and square.

    Might depend on how definitively AJ beats him — if AJ does beat him.

    If it’s close at all, a rematch should be warranted.

    If it’s a ko1, perhaps not so much.

    Yes, based on his exemplary discipline and professionalism the boxing gods owe this lazy pig 3 HW title fights.

    The fight has to warrant a third fight. If its close then yes.

    A third fight won't be warranted, because Big Andy will turn Joshua over a second time, and will likely do it even more emphatically with a 12 week camp behind him. This, plus Joshua's fragile psyche, shaky whiskers and inability to actuate whatever instructions McCracken gives him in between rounds, will see Joshua mentally crumble under Ruiz's irrepressible onslaught once more.

    Yes absolutely there should, but it's a big 'if'.

    I think Ruiz takes it also, can't count josh out though, if he makes the adjustements it may be interesting.

    I don’t think there would be.

    There’ll be more demand (and money) in other fights

    Only if Ruiz ends up rank 2 and AJ has no one else to fight after Wilder and Fury
