This is not an AJ apology thread for me he lost fair and square. But how do we think our new champion Andy Ruiz Jr would fair against these seemingly acceptable challengers? Breazele? Molina? Schwartz? Ortiz? Povetkin? Big baby miller? Carlos Takam? Del boy Chisora? Joseph Parker? I could see him beating all these guys and if his chin is as good as it seems I can see him beating wilder. If I was Ruiz I'd go deal with the rematch be it ducking aj for still thinking he's the a side or taking on the challenge if the money's right Then I would go avenge Parker loss knowing I'm the a side. Then do a wilder and defend against a load of no ranks. Then I would challenge canelo for current toughest Mexican in the world belt at catch weight.
any one who has a long range jab and can use it, problem is most on this list do not so ruiz has a great chance of doing the same as he did to AJ
Breazele Win by decision Molina Win by KO Schwartz Win by KO Ortiz 60/40 ( very close fight ) Povetkin Win by decision Big baby Miller 50/50 Carlos Takam Win by TKO Del boy Chisora Win by decision Joseph Parker 50/50 Ruiz would probably beat all of them except for Ortiz and maybe Parker and Miller ( don‘t know how good Miller’s gas tank is without roids though ). He would definitely struggle against Povetkin, Miller and Parker. I see Andy Ruiz as top 5-7 H2H fighter in the hw division, he will struggle and most likely loses against guys with long range who can fight on the backfoot.
