Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz's Father: Deontay Wilder is The Fight We Want!

[TBOXING245]

andy ruiz will never beat wilder a touch on the chin and it's over for the sniker eater he beat a 42 year old ortiz a younger ortiz would have beaten ruiz it takes logic ruiz runs after bums he went to the carpet with an old arreola imagine wilder will knock him out he is back to his weight of 214 lbs which is excellent even arreola who is mexican says that wilder will beat ruiz

[PRINCEKOOL]

I don't understand this, so you saying wilder win over ortiz is great, as ortiz did well againstbRuiz? But ruiz beat AJ
For wilder to be as good as AJ, wilder needs to beat ruiz

Technically Ortiz is was a all around better fighter than Ruiz Junior skill for skill.

But Ruiz Junior has greater power, durability, and inside game.

I can actually see Wilder winning rounds vs Ruiz Junior.

The fight could go the distance with both fighters going down etc.

Tough style matchup for wilder especially if we find Ruiz can take his shots or at least keep getting up like fury did. Have to imagine that Ruiz would be the favourite when it comes to building up points. Wilder will have to rediscover the jab he used in the first Stiverne fight

In the second stiverne fight his jab was way more impressive, how can u say he didnt use the jab after the first stiverne one?? I've never seen it look as good as that 1st round blitz in the second one, granted he hasn't used it much but it's still there, muscle memory and all that

We need more of these fights. Top fighters fighting each other. Never count Ruiz out but he has slow feet and is easy to hit .A sitting duck with fast hands , good contact

I see it the same. Ruiz Jr won't be looking to take clean right hands from Wilder, but he's got the instincts, hand speed and confidence in his chin to mix it up with Wilder at close range. Ruiz Jr is IMO the better boxer, so he will land more. He may not have Wilder's right hand, but he is a dangerous puncher himself. I see a clean decision win for Ruiz, but, like everyone else, I could also see Wilder snatching a victory late from the jaws of defeat. Andy does lose focus.

Ever since Usyk mentioned wilder I think wilder has his mind set on that fight. He did say in his post fight interview that he was open to ruiz but with that being a WBC elimination fight , I’m not sure he is interested in fighting fury a 4th time so that why I think Ruiz isn’t a priority. I think his wish list is Usyk, or Aj. I think he will pass on Ruiz, Usyk will fight fury so my guess is we will finally see wilder vs Aj but then again Hearn doesn’t want Aj in high risk fights like wilder, like Joyce as he knows not only Will Aj probably lose but also get knocked out.

Fighters are just excuse makers nowadays. So Wilder got an excuse to not fight anyone? Id tell Wilder to fight Ruiz, joyce, Josh, DDD, Usyk and then he can go down as the best of this era even having lost 3 fights to Fury. Having a ready excuse to not fight anyone just sabotages your legacy.

Fights like these are why the heavyweight division will always be the glamor division in boxing. Wilder can crack, Ruiz can too. This fight isn't going the distance.

[TheIronMike]

Down for this fight, but Ruiz proved that he has no kill switch agsint Ortiz.

This will be another million dollar payday for Ruiz to fund his tostada addiction.

[SN!PER]

Deontay will make Andy pee himself in that ring like Szpilka.

Cinco de Mayo weekend he'll knock the burritos out of that boy.

Ruiz should stay active and fight Martin in Carson. Martin's a tall big puncher and is from Long Beach so it'd sell well locally.

If Ruiz goes in against Wilder he needs to be as sharp as he can be. I don't want to see Andy go into a Wilder fight at anything less than 100%.
