Who's the best of the upcoming 3 heavyweight "opponents"?

what a fine selection of opponents. this is tough. it's like picking between a ruby, sapphire or emerald.
actually it's more like picking between horse manure, cow dung or sheep feces.

 

Ruiz followed closely by Breazeale and then





































Tom Shart

 

Easily Ruiz jr.....Breazeale will get hammered by Wilder inside 3 or 4 rounds

 

Big Dom easily. Jeez people, AJ has the better resume over Wilder overall, but don't pointlessly aggrandize him by propping up a morbidly obese 6'2 hw with no power whose best win is against a shot and heart deficient Dimitrenko.

 

I think even someone that loves Fury and hates Joshua with equally fiery passions would have to admit that

Ruiz >>>> Breazeale >>>>>>>>>>> Schwarz.

 

Schwarz is by far the worst of the 3, he might of lost to Gashi had Gashi kept it clean or the ref been more lenient.

Ruiz is the most gifted and skilled but I think Breazeale would beat him if they fought. Ruiz would need to KO Breazeale early to win as after 4 rounds his power fades as the toll of carrying all that excess body weight takes the snap and power out of his shots as the fight goes on. I simply don't think he can put enough hurt on Breazeale to take him out and then Breazeale in the later rounds grinds him down and wins on points or late stoppage.

People are looking at the Parker fight and saying Ruiz is a level above but assessing fighters on losing performances can be misguided. Jennings looked great losing to Wlad in a competitive fight but then since he's lost to Ortiz when he was the favourite going in, dropped by Dimitrenko in a lack lustre performance and KO'ed by Rivas.

You can look at the Parker performance as one of being able to compete at that level but it's a whole different ball game to win at that level. Look at Chisora, looked good losing to Vitali, gave Whyte hell in the first fight, same with Takam looked good vs Povetkin and Parker when losing but looking good when losing is the trait of a gate keeper/fringe contender. I suspect that's Ruiz's true level. He'll give Breazeale a good fight but that's his limit, good enough to look good losing because he's lacking in areas that are required to win at this level.

 

We'll need to bump this thread after the 3 fights happen

 

Parker took the Ruiz fight to early. The Parker who fought Whyte is better then any Ruiz performance even in that loss.

Ruiz is about top 10 at 10 .

Breazeales about rank 7 ........3 if he unseated Wilder.

People are just very poor moving along with a fighter , they think fighters don't change or progress , I don't see how they come to the conclusion Ruiz is the better fighter from a 2016 Parker fight. Ruiz has actually regressed before that year if you really watched his fights.

Breazeales going to be be the best he's ever been on Saturday, anyone picking Ruiz has got it wrong!

 

lmao *WOW* I'm scared

 

I don't know about the same night, but I'd definitely pick Breazaele over Ruiz. As for Scwartz.........I don't know who in the top 20
he'd beat

 

Breazeale over Ruiz? Y'all drunk?

 

Agreed Parker at the time was caught between styles. His power at the top level wasn't having the same effect as when he was fighting journeymen and he was still trying to fight like a seek and destroy fighter. Against Takam and then Ruiz he found out he couldn't just stand in front of guys and unload and expect them to fall because at this level these guys could handle his power and throw back. He literally learned on the fly against Ruiz that he had to move and be more selective in his attacks.

Ruiz Jr had a vulnerable Parker in there and still couldn't beat him and as you say Parker has improved since the Ruiz fight. He's learned to box more on the back foot and his head movement is far better than before. Ruiz would have a far tougher time finding Parker now. It would still be competitive but Parker would win a much more comfortable decision now.

I do think Breazeale has improved a little since the AJ fight, he's more consistent with his jab and a bit more selective with his punches. Don't think it will be enough to beat Wilder but think he'll give him a tough fight if he can handle Wilder's power and hang in there for a while.

 

Which is tougher to get off your shoe? Horse Manure? Cow Dung? Sheep Feces?

 

Im doing a final prediction of Wilder vs Breazeale now, ive seen enough and more then I thought I would( still a VERY hard pick,maybe the hardest for me with all other stuff outside the ring and my personal dislike for Wilder ,and im POSITIVe im still the only guy on here whos fought another guy he has so yea I do know some things others aren't aware of ...that's a fact. .) ppl really don't understand this type of match involves to many areas to actually get it right ,and yopu want to come out with the most logical and probable one so I have to ASSUME many things here......i'll try.
