Who wins? Prime Ruiz Jr 2019 or Dubois 2024? The Ruiz that beat AJ in June 2019 first fight, or the Dubois that beat AJ in 2024? Who wins and why?
Dubois probably by KO. Andy Ruiz "prime" was not some massive great boxer. He just got very lucky in Joshua fight with that "life punch". Joshua always forget to defend himself when he see he heart opponent. That happend also in his last fight. He never learn from that mistake from Ruiz. Just was more carefull in whole fight. Dubois is bigger, harder hitter and now looks like he by miracle (orange juice I guess) got pretty damn solid chin. Yes Ruiz got very quick hand and he got his chance but more realistic situation is Dubois beat him on outside and heart him in some point of fight. And Andy was lazy. He lost with Parker because he got too many "resting" rounds. I choose Dubois 60-30% If You dont count Joshua what legacy actually got Andy Ruiz? 150 years old Ortiz?
Yep, I'd agree - Ruiz that night against AJ was a handful but he's given up on the sport since cashing in on his victory and the rematch. I think Dubois would have been able to find the target easily enough with his ridiculous power considering Ruiz has been very hittable but I wonder if Ruiz's hand speed would have posed Dubois with some challenges, but I think Dubois would just bash Ruiz's face with his jab on a consistent basis anyhow.
