Comments Thread For: Wilder Embraces Showdown With Ruiz: 'I'm Looking Forward To Having a Fight With Ruiz'

[Boro]

Wilder should focus on Helenius he might be as graceful as an elephant on a tight rope but one thing is for damn sure he can punch with both hands and he might arguably be the biggest puncher he's ever faced and familiarity breeds complacency...

[Good ol' Douglas]

Embarrassing! A three-belt champ calls him out for what would be a much bigger fight, and here he is talking about Ruiz.

Usyk was clout chasing, he ain't going anywhere near Wilder (or Joyce). He wants to sell his 0 for max profit against Fury then retire.

Also, running a marathon around Mr. Blobby is one of AJ's "amazing wins", so Wilder putting him to sleep would be a massive statement and make him WBC mandatory.

[Hustle]

If Usyk is willing to give him a shot why not go that way if he wins his next fight?

Don't understand the appeal to fight in house fighters, a Ruiz fight is not a bad one but there is a better match up that might be attainable.

Exactly

Wilder/Usyk > Wilder/Ruiz

I feel that Wilder needs to stop talking about "The Secret" now. Did he miss what happened in those Fury fights?

This a good fight. Ruiz gets hit easily so I think Wilder is the favorite. Against AJ he was taking punches to land his own but I don't fancy his chances to do that with Wilder! Ruiz needs to push Wilder back give him less room to swing. Go for the stoppage

[Offensive Wizardry]

ahhh back to the comfortable "only PBC fighters I know I can beat" plan. He thinks its already gotten him to the HOF.

i mean he's got a statue.

how could he not?

if i got an avn male performer of the year award for jerking off in a tissue like wilder got a statue for getting KTFO by fury,

id think i was peter north.

Ruiz wins easy! All he has to do is avoid hard telegraphed punches all night, come forward with lots of pressure and Wilder will be done!

How the hell did you come to the conclusion that Usyk is clout chasing? Also, how is it even possible for a 3-belt champion to clout chase a guy coming off 2 knockout losses?? Usyk is atop the division with Fury and is looking down.

And never mind what Usyk is even thinking..he’s the champ and shouldn’t even need to chase anybody, Wilder should be chasing him..period. Usyk is putting himself out there as available for a fight early next there, and only the fighter coming out of Wilder’s mouth is Ruiz? You honestly think there’s a reason for Wilder to not acknowledge this opportunity to become a champ? I’m so confused how people can shamelessly defend this.

Wilder should fight Usyk next if that can be made.

Ruiz will still be there as an option afterwards.

Thank you very much for coming up with the perfect reply. I could not have said it any better.

There are a lot of weird people in this forum who are mainly fans of a certain fighter and not the sport. There's also a new breed here who align with promoters and broadcasters. Really weird stuff. I try my best to just ignore them and don't even read posts from a good few; just skip over.

Well, i'm not surprised with Wilder's behavior towards the call-out; rather, I would be shocked if he took the fight. It's already shaping up to be a DUCK. The quacks are deafening.

Joyce beats both. Karate kick!
