    Winner of Wilder-Helenius, which will probably be Wilder.

    I'll be shocked if Tyson Fury doesn't defend against Ruiz next.

    Honestly.

    Has to be either Wilder, Whyte or Joyce. Ruiz doesn't deserve a title-shot after beating Ortiz, and the others still need at least another top 10 win to have a look at fighting for the belt.

    Does Wilder get in the ring with Ruiz? Goes against Wilder MO and I can't see it really. Wilder will continue to fight the likes of Helenius, Kownacki, Ajagba and Demirezen etc.

    Ruiz himself already turned the chance to fight Whyte twice.

    I'd like to see the two best PBC HWs fight in Ruiz vs Sanchez.

    This and i think he lose both of this fights.


    I think his hunger is gone. He still has his durability, but i also think it's not what it was in the both AJ fights. I don't think it was taken from AJ, as he did to Whyte though i think Ruiz did it to himself. Fat lazy man, who also had just 2 fight since 2019, absolutely terrible.

    Depends how WIlder looks in his next fight, he may actually stop Ruiz for first time ever. I think AJ may do the same.

    Deontay Wilder is the clear option.

    Dillian White is a good second option.

    Chisora is a decent stay busy bout if nothing better for now.

    Wilder if Wilder gets past Helenius. Otherwise Helenius. Either has a good chance to stop him. Ruiz seems to have morphed into David Tua in the boxing iq and passivity department.

    If Fury can survive Wilders power then Ruiz certainly can.

    He has no neck. He is a pure flubber. He absorbs everything.

    Dangerous fight for Wilder, I see it going to distance.

    I'd like to see him in with Demirezen, Zhang, Hrgovic, or Makhmudov.

    Any of those would be willing.
