    i agree his feet arent fast enough and he gasses. He does have exceptional hands though. It would help if he knuckled down and lost 40 pounds but cant see him beating AJs jab,and he ll get hit at will.

    Also Ruiz is a PBC fighter no way will that happen . More chance of Wilder stepping in and forgetting the Breazeale fight or Ortiz taking it . Remember PBC want a no-show and no way are they risking any of their fighters getting in with AJ , my money is on Hunter taking it .

    What a dud fight for a US debut. As robotic and unattractive to watch as Joshua is the only real questions about him are chin and gas tank. Ruiz Jr doesn't offer a threat to either of these.

    I see a TKO - I'll be surprised if it is a KO.

    Disgusting if true, Mike ''The Bounty'' Hunter is ready, willing and able and he was one of the first to throw his name into the hat and now they're negotiating with Hunter's son Ruiz? Wtf? Serge is not going to let AJ and Hearn get away with their shameless ducking of Hunter, something which Serge told you all was exactly what was going to happen and once again he appears to have been proven right. Serge will personally hound both of those gutless swines AJ and Hearn on social media incessantly until they accept the gauntlet Hunter has thrown down to them.

    Then we aren't in agreement. Because I don't see it that way.

    I'd rather he fight Hunter that's a more competitive fight.

    I've never rated Ruiz he's Arreola 2.0. Yeah he has good hands and some nice combo's but if that's all you needed to succeed David Price would be heavyweight world champion.

    He's horribly out of shape makes Arreola look like the after photo and Ruiz the before photo from a weight watchers success story. His stamina sucks he's literally a 3-4 round fighter which why he's only stopped 2 guys after the 4th round. His punches lose all their power and snap after a few rounds. He's far too easy to hit Hamer was teeing off on him before he quit. He couldn't even cut off the ring on a green Parker who hadn't yet figured out his style and was still trying to fight like a puncher.

    Are you describing Dillian Whyte? Well, if he can get past Rivas he might beat AJ one time out of ten, you know, puncher's chance, he is a good domestic fighter

    At least Dillian Whyte already beat AJ... you know in the AMS and all that...

    So he already overcame your 10 per cent chance odds.

    Let's see Hunter overcome his zero per cent odds.

    Dillians just keeps on winning.
