Comments Thread For: Malik Scott: Andy Ruiz is Not a Tough Fight For a 'Disciplined' Deontay Wilder

[chicken-]

Lmfao....Malink was hypin up Helenious and ANYBODY with boxing acumen knew it was a tailor-made fight for Wilder. I dont think Ruiz will win but hes one HELLUVA better fighter Helenious was

Did your boxing acument predict that Ruiz would struggle so much vs Chris Nipple Areola and barely get a decision after multiple knockdowns vs Ortiz? Wilder battered Areola, and KO'd Ortiz twice.

Ruiz beat AJ, who stinks. He's done absolutely nothing since then of note, other than struggle. I'm not even sure he could beat AJ again if he was in shape. Usyk would absolutely destroy Ruiz, that much I know for sure.

Wilder fought Fury three times, couldn't beat him once, got ko'd or tko'd twice.

To be fair, he came close to a knockout in the first fight, but after that he took a helluva beating in the other fights.

He's still got that power and would be dangerous for Joshua, Usyk and Joyce. The other heavyweights, Sanchez and Anderson, could come into strong contention.

This is all true but to be fair he DID get a knockout in the first fight since referee Jack Reese changed the count from 10 to 12. And also in the third fight ref Russell Mora changed it from 10 to 12 again. But I digest. hahahaha (Just thought I'd go ahead and start the verbal wars today-- it's too quiet on here)

Hands down Wilder KO's everyone outside Fury but he's already had him out .If he can KO Tyson for six seconds my guess is he could do four seconds more .Wilder makes this division so exciting .Anyone who moans about him and Fury fighting for a forth time can not understand the fight game....period! Wilder is a bigger version of the excitement the 'hitman' Haerns and the excitement he gave us!

Tell me who Helenious beat to make him a better fighter than fatboy?

All due respect to former world champion Andy Ruiz, but don’t see him as posing much of a threat to Wilder.

Anyone who wants Wilder to get brutally viciously beatdown by Fury a 3rd time does not understand the “trauma to the head - brain damage” game. Nice comparison to Hearns - who sadly cannot speak without mumbling/slurring his words.

By the same token, a "disciplined" Andy Ruiz is a hard out for anyone, ask Joshua!

Cmon Bro - still in denial? You sound like Don King crying about a “long count”after Douglas Ko’d Tyson. All “10” counts are not exactly 10 seconds in boxing with different refs and timekeepers relaying when to pick up the count.

A disciplined Andy Ruiz is a tough fight for Wilder, disciplined or not.

Wow, boxing is a confusing sport. Some think after 2 ko losses youll be more vulnerable than ever, but this Deontay has improved within a fight? Dont even need to rebuild confidence? But i do believe Wilder can improve, because fighting Fury you will learn a lot from defeat, but beatings might have taken something from Wilder, mainly along the lines of confidence.
Ruiz might be a good test simply because Ruiz will be just about the best fighter Wilder fought not named fury. I do believe Wilder can beat Ruiz, whether he actually will im undecided yet until fight night.
