Doesn't matter what hes thinking. He was the original opponent for a reason and he would have been treated like the heavybag that he is. Hes not on Ruizs level.
Ruiz was robbed against Parker and Parker went 12 with Joshua, so I'm kind of baffled why so many people picked Joshua to walk through him... ...unless those people were making an entirely superficial judgement of Ruiz based on his physical appearance. I've been on this forum since 2005, so I know by now that boxing essentially = bodybuilding. That's why Gerrie Coetzee beat Greg Page, Wladimir Klitschko knocked out Corrie Sanders, and Edison Miranda retired unbeaten. At least, I'm guessing that's what happened. I don't pay attention to the actual fights. I just assume what will happen/has happened based on weigh-in photos.
