Ruiz Vs Whyte

Whyte would batter Rice Pudding Jr, and the forum would hate to see it. But that's what would happen.

 

Ruiz kos another over-hyped brit.

 

Tank, Spence and Crawford all have excellent fundamental skills to go along with their X-factor qualities. It’s not about being American or non American. The eye test tells you so plus their collective resumes.

 

I still think Ruiz would win but I wouldn't bet serious money on it.

 

I said before the fight last night that Whyte would beat Ruiz. Ruiz is extremely poor at closing distance on taller fighters that keep him at range. He really only excels in close where he can let his fast hands go. Make him come to you and he looks like an average plodder without much clue. He's a lot like Parker in some ways, lots of athleticism and fluid punches in bunches but not a lot going on upstairs.

Whyte isn't the world's greatest boxer but he knows how to use his spearing jab against shorter fighters, and he'd bust Andy's face up while keeping up a high guard to deflect any flurries, maybe occasionally trying to loop over the odd right hand or digging left to the gut or head. It won't look pretty, but it'll do the job.

 

Pretty accurate , how does this reflect , if at all on the Aj 1 fight, he dominated AJ & outboxed him skill wise ...

 

Whyte could beat him on points if he boxes from range. I still think Ruiz gets him oven cooked, if he tries to fight him though.

 

Whyte would KO Ruiz.

 

Joshua got overconfident after dropping Ruiz, walked into a hard temple shot that scrambled his balance, and couldn't recover sufficiently to keep Ruiz off him. Ruiz was essentially able to walk forward and throw punches with impunity since Joshua didn't have his wits about him. Wasn't really outboxing him skills-wise or he would have done the same in the rematch and certainly outboxed the limited Parker before him.

 

Ruiz would KO whyte. A fight id like to see would be Whyte vs Hunter

 

Whyte doesn't have the skill or IQ to beat Ruiz.

 

Spend and Crawford have excellent fundamental skills. Tank is riding more off of his talent than skillset. Time will tell if he develops his skillsets going forward.

 

Tank has a fantastic skills set don’t get seduced by him being just a powerful puncher. His skills complement his power.
