    Be more a fight AJ v Wilder both can bang hard enough to take each other out.
    Who lands first that's the big question.

    This will be a good fight.

    Up till the second Bermane and first first Ortiz fights, I didn't rate Wilder very high on account of his weak resume...very few good wins.

    I would have made AJ the overwhelming favourite.

    Now, with AJ having been starched and Wilder having twice KO'd Ortiz, I think it's a lot closer, possibly close to a 50-50.

    AJ has the skills advantage and, like in Ruiz 2, should take it if he fights a perfect or near perfect fight. But Wilder, while not overly skillful, is not as poor as I first thought.

    And he has that big equalizer, the HAMMER.

    I don't think I will bet any money on either man.

    Ortiz Don't come into it AJ would beat him easy.Fury/Wilder & AJ are out on their own atm in HWs.
    I'd go with AJ over Wilder but we know he has the power to say other wise.
    Fury does not punch as hard but has a very good chin & will get up if put down.
    Fury also moves the best out of the 3 boxers but will thay all face each other hmmmmmmm.

    Andy Ruiz better be careful with his weight gain for the sake of health reasons. He could possibly develop Diabetes, or problems with his heart, too much weight for his body frame. If either of these afflictions occur, he can kiss his boxing future goodbye, no promoters will touch him, failed physicals.

    Wilder can and will be able to take his punch. It's Joshua that I'm worried about in this one.

    yeah, good one. In fact that would be a great card.
    Wilder vs Joshua
    Undercard Ruiz vs Ortiz...thinking on it, they would be tailor made for each other. neither backing up, neither care to use much movement. That would be a bang 'em fight!

    I wouldn't call it a tourny though, they had their chances.

    Ruiz was still the boss? Seriously? Is that why he won a grand total of one round?

    Lucky to get the shot. He was the third choice.

    aia'm glad he's not champ, too. Couldn't stand him.

    Well, he was supposed to fight Miller. It was booked, so I don't get your point.

    Everyone was claiming he was something he wasn't, and he was revealed to be a very one dimensional fighter.

    Plus, look at the state of him, he's a heart attack waiting to happen.
