    Yes.TOP RANK knows how bad Ruiz Jr is so they matched him up with bad opposition so far.His heart isn't in boxing.He was decent in amateurs at the youth lvl now he is older and his dedication to the sport has fallen.He can beat likes of Hanks Tor Hammer but will loose to every top 10 boxer he have some punch and speed for few first rounds and head movement for first few rounds but his stamina lack of proper amateur sucess at mature lvl and his lack of dedication is doing no good to him.

    Tough to say as Ruiz has looked capable on some outings yet horribly lacklustre on others. Either way Fury is all wrong for him. Really poor style match up.

    He's on the same level as Martin, Breazeale and Whytte.

    No, Brazealle is easily a step above Martin.

    I disagree. If you bring Dillian out here to Southern California, Ruiz whoops him and Martin..

    I'd say Ruiz is a hair better than anyone Joshua has faced.

    It is close though.

    No, Whyte is far better.

    Yes, disregard the Liakovich fight, and he clearly is far better. He'd put a beating on everyone Joshua has fought, he probably wouldnt stop them all though.
