    Balance was brought to the boxing universe when Ruiz KO'd him. A hypejob pretender to the throne was exposed for the fraud he is. Skills pay the bills, and Ruiz has skills for days. AJ is a slightly above-average KO artist.

    Usyk is terrible match up for Ruiz. As is Hinter or any other HW woth decent footwork except for Fury as he is so chinny.

    No, only mongs laugh at the same played out joke that ceased being funny five years ago, especially considering it was never funny to start with. If it were an actual knockdown it would be hilarious, but sadly for you he was just off balance.

    We'll see who is right on Saturday. It seems to be that Ruiz has become quite overrated, and Joshua quite underrated in the aftermath of the first fight.

    I'm actually quite stoked for the rematch. There have been a lot of flashes in the pan that upset a champion tagged for greatness, who then lost the return, let's be honest. But I don't think Ruiz is a one shot wonder. He's going to give AJ all he can handle in the rematch. I'm still not sure who wins.

    No, it's just that Ruiz was underrated going in and no one was expecting it but the people who knew how good an on Ruiz could be. Joshua is rated just about right, but style wise, Ruiz is just an issue for him, and there's very little he can do about it. The same way Pac never fully figured out JMM, Ruiz is AJ's riddle.

    Ruiz is a dangerous fight for usyk, he's probably the fastest hw out there and with around 19 stone behind him I think he could definitely land on usyk. I would probably back ruiz if they were to meet.

    Put it this way usyk isn't stopping ruiz.

    ruiz beats usyk stupid, wilder breaks his neck, aj tosses him around the ring, and fury outskates him. the man does not belong at hw. he lacks the power to hurt them and the size to endure them. evander had the power and the toughness, thats why he was able to do what he did.

    The only guy Usyk has beaten in the last 12 months is Chazz Witherspoon

    Honestly, I don't buy it. I think Ruiz got lucky that Joshua took him very lightly and we will see what a fully prepared Joshua does on Saturday night. I expect it will be quite one-sided.

    Nothing to buy. It's there for all to see. All you have to do is open your eyes and look. Did you ever see the Parker fight?

    Here we go again with this Usyk hype. That puny cruiserweight would be bounced around the ring against that blobs big belly, and squashed like a bug, under the sheer weight of that gluttonous lard sack!

    Very little he can do about Ruiz style? Are you actually joking? If Joshua or his team were smart they would just jab, grab and maul Ruiz and while he might have quick hands, quick feet he certainly doesn't. There is literally nothing that Ruiz could do if Joshua comes to spoil... however pride, ego and pressure leads me to believe these tactics won't even be given consideration.

    This could and should be an easy night's work with leaning on Ruiz and keeping him at range. I do however think Joshua fights much the same way as the first and we see something similar unfold.
