Wladimir Klitschko of the Fury fight vs. Andy Ruiz Jr. of the Joshua fight.

Possible but unlikely. Vlad was still fleet of foot and had something resembling the fast hands of his prime. Most folks don't realize how difficult it is for a tall fighter to all of a sudden punch UP. Punching up plus dealing with Fury's slippery frustrating style made Vlad look awful. Ruiz would struggle tremendously with that jab.

 

'Crazy'

 

Andy the blob Ruiz would do what Samuel the blob Peter couldn't do. Knock Wlad down, and gobble him up for good.

 

Wlad comfortably. He'd keep Ruiz at range and beat him on points, if not a late stoppage. The only reason AJ lost the first fight is because he threw caution to the wind and ending up in a fire fight with a much faster guy, Wlad wasn't that foolish.

 

Wlad UD12

 

That Wlad was not exactly the best version around. On the other hand, Ruiz is nothing like Fury, who really got into Wlad's head. Ruiz represents a known quantity - a small guy with a short reach. Klitschko beats those guys on autopilot, it's literally his favourite matchup. Jab, jab, jab, right hand as the guy tries to close in, Grapple, tie, clinch, snooze. Repeat.

 

The bee drones would have null effect on honey bear Ruiz. I think Wlad at msg vs BJ too. Wlad was a fossil so sure Ruiz could swarm him easier than prime Wlad.
It's tough though, Ruiz does himself no favors & Jennings would definitely be the favorite over Ruiz pretty much the majority of their careers despite Jennings starting Boxing at 25 years old.

Ruiz needs to fight again before I give him any victory over legends.

Ruiz will likely fight Ancient Arreola/Adamek next so I never get excited about him.

 

Wlad by UD.
Ruiz went the distance with shot to **** Liakowitch.

 

I don't know, that version of Wlad was pretty poor

 

Ruiz wouldnt catch him in Wlads bouncy ring

 

Wlad could come back now and school Ruiz. Short fat guy with slow feet vs cautius Klitschko.
Ruiz is tailormade for Wlad and would be kept at range way better than Joshua did in the rematch.

 

Fury made him look poor.

 

Bryant Jennings made him look poor... Wlad was old as ****.

 

Was still game vs Joshua and had a style suited for longetivity. I honestly believe he could come back now and still be a problem for a lot of top 10 boxers.
