Of course, like Arreola was eligible for a titleshot after a draw and a NC after failing a drugtest. Being Mexican American overrules everything.
Make that fight if Fury bails again...........Wilder ko's a guy who stopped the Bodybuilder and needed a track meet in a 50 foot ring to beat him in the re match while Ruiz was even fatter....... The irony.......lets see how good Ruiz's chin really is........in the old days a fighter like Ruiz got called hard to miss even if you tried.
Wouldn't mind seeing that fight at all. Ruiz is legitimately ranked based on the Joshua fight and would either be finally eliminated or spring another wild surprise.
250 or 290 pounds Ruiz gets sparked.......guaranteed........Ruiz takes wayyyyyyy too many flush shots....always has......there is Aj power and there is Wilder power, BIG difference........Andy is too upright , does not move his head and again , uses his chin as part of his defense.....a recipe for disaster...he gets Ko'ed.
"Eligible" means that the WBC will rank him in the top 15. Which makes sense; he was unranked by the WBC because he was a champion with all the other belts. Now he lost them so they rank him. Business as usual. This does not mean Wilder will automatically fight him.
