The wind off Wilders right would knock him down.
Wilder has flaws . What about Joshua biggest flaw glass jaw.

This seems to be the popular opinion and I don't disagree that Wilder might get to him first, but you also have to ask yourself if Wilder would have taken some the shots Ruiz did, or got up from that uppercut left hook in rd 3, would he had his faculties like Ruiz did.
I still think it's a really exciting fight, but it's lost it's shine, and Joshua has to get past Ruiz first.Comment

I still think it's a bit harsh to label any heavyweight as having a 'glass jaw/chin', because these are not featherweight punches being landed, they're getting smashed by 100kg+ guys.
But Joshua is so wasteful with the talent that he has. Someone of his stature should be ram rod jabbing the **** out of every opponent, like Wlad used to do. He doesn't know how to tie up and tuck up properly when he's hurt. He doesn't seem to have a killer instinct like Wilder does, which can look ungainly, but when you're a HW, you can windmill or whatever, you catch your guy, he's going down. He doesn't have the same intensity as Wilder or Fury or Klitschko(s) or Holyfield, Ruddock, Lewis etc.Comment

Wilder is faster on his feet and harder to hit than Ruiz, and he took some absolute bombs from Ortiz and stayed up.This seems to be the popular opinion and I don't disagree that Wilder might get to him first, but you also have to ask yourself if Wilder would have taken some the shots Ruiz did, or got up from that uppercut left hook in rd 3, would he had his faculties like Ruiz did.

Joshua doesn't move his head enough. He'll get blasted out inside 5 rounds against Wilder.Comment

Joshua has a much worse flaw than his mediocre chin and that is his poor stamina and his lack of self control in light of his poor stamina. He tried to put Ruiz away and when he failed he had virtually wrecked himselfComment

Joshua is 1 win away of becoming N.1 again. he doesn`t have to fight Fury or Wilder for that.
he only has to beat Ruiz jr.Comment

Ruiz Jr is not #1. Fury and Wilder should both be ahead of him.
Before last night, Ruiz's best wins were against Alexander Dimitrenko, Kevin Johnson, and Siarhei Liakhovich. Plus he lost to Joseph Parker.
Wilder and Fury both have way better wins than Dimitrenko, Liakhovich, and Johnson.Comment

Ruiz stopped Joshua and this is bigger than anything Fury and Wilder have done.
If Ortiz with his wins over guys like Thompson and Jennings is somehow top 5, than is Ruiz clearly N. 1.Comment
