    Why wouldn't he go from Chisora to Ruiz? It isn't like there's some massive step up in skill there.

    Ruiz is far more dangerous than a past it Chisora, who has lost against any decent heavyweight he has ever fought. Chisora is just a lumbering oath, who isn't a big puncher at heavyweight level, and has low ring IQ.
    A motivated Ruiz is arguably the best heavyweight boxer outside of Joshua and Fury imo. Yes he would probably come in slow, and fat like the second Johua fight, but theres always a risk he doesn't. Usyk isn't going to fight someone as dangeorus as Ruiz for little financial reward.

    Be a damn good fight. I've got Usyk in a squeaker, tighter than Chisora fight.

    Usyk does not like fighting smaller men, it appears (stocky, short arms, etc). Ruiz is that and he has power and even more speed than Chisora.

    Depends on which Ruiz shows up...the mildly out of shape one or widely out of shape one.

    Ruiz presents a bad match up for Usyk due to his size and combination punching. He may not catch Usyk with the first punch, but he could with the 3rd punch and that can really hurt him.

    If the Ruiz from the first AJ fight shows up, he's the favorite. If the Ruiz from the 2nd AJ fight shows up, Usyk has a chance to win.

    I actually think Ruiz has the style and handspeed to beat Usyk..and clearly.

    But as was mentioned before we may not see Andy back to red hot form again. He is an overnight millionaire and that buys a lot of homewrecker burritos.
