    Joshua showed this today, clearly. Time for Ruiz to join Buster Douglas and Hasim Rahman in the long history of Cinderella men, and for all of those who RIDICULOUSLY overrated this guy off of ONE FIGHT to eat crow.

    He had to resort to pot shotting an obese b level fighter. Hardly proved anything about Joshua

    And Wilder is going to tear that clowns face off. I can't wait to laugh my ass off when the skill less "glass jawed" wonder Wilder is the unified heavyweight champion of the world.

    That's a possibility if he were to stop fighting senior citizens and turning down $100,000,000 to unify the belts.

    Wilder won't go anywhere near this version of Joshua. That fight's a write-off.

    The only way he might consider taking an offer this time round would be if he (erroneously) equated Joshua's performance with weakness. Since he seems to think that any time you can't KO an opponent you've lost it's very possible he thinks this.

    A skinny skittish Joshua that's afraid to sit down on his shots. Yeah I bet Wilder's terrified.:lol:

    Like I said, if he equates this version of Joshua with a weakened version he might be able to drag his sorry ass to the negotiating table. It would be a mistake, but he couldn't be expected to know that.

    If Joshua lands one of those potshots, Wilder will be out of there! He hasn’t got the chin that Ruiz possesses

    Fury might have a say in this.

    Not even Fury could avoid Wilder for a full 12 and pure boxer is his default style.

    AJ will get caught against Wilder if they fight.

    Or Wilder will get caught against Joshua. Why does no one ever consider this?

    A bit extreme. Joshua simply came with the better strategy this time around and learned from his mistakes in the first fight. Calling Ruiz a Cinderella man devalues Joshua’s win. Ruiz didn’t come with a plan B and just assumed Joshua would recklessly try and force the knockout again and leave himself open to get countered, but unfortunately he assumed wrong.
