    You're ignoring the evidence because it hurts your point. Why should I care what celeb heights say but not the official tale of the tape?

    Because the tale of the tape is wrong, Ruiz is roughly 6 foot. He is literally shorter than an old decrepit Holyfield

    You're ignoring actual visual evidence that's a clear rebuttal which shows Ruiz isn't 6'2.

    It's widely known Ruiz isn't 6'2 everyone knows this just do some research for 10 minutes or compare Ruiz to any famous person in a photo will tell you this.

    If you choose to ignore it that's your problem not mine.

    We must agree to disagree.

    You're going for the size thing. OK

    I would say that as soon as Frazier lands his first solid left hook, and it shouldn't take more than a few rounds, Joshua is coming undone. Not a difficult pick to choose from all the scenarios.

    Two rounds after Frazier lands his first solid left-hook, Joshua is getting stopped, TKO, on his feet (there's the size advantage), by round six.

    After three rounds, Joshua wants to go back home. Joshua isn't a warrior.
    Joe was born for this sport. Period.

    Joshua does not have a mind like a steel-trap. He has a mind like play-dough, as far as that goes. Easy to dent.

    If you have a mind like a steel-trap, 210 is all you need. Like Holyfield vs. Douglas (some people put an asterisk by that one.. too bad for them Tyson fanatics) or like Frazier in the FOTC (and a few more).
