How Many Title Defenses will Andy Ruiz have?

[Redd Foxx]

Ugh... This is one of those things that's hard to talk about because I like the guy and I'm super happy for him. But, I honestly can't see him holding those belts for long. If he takes the Pulev mando, easy work. He may or may not beat AJ again. He's not going to be able to hang with Wilder or Fury. I hope he has a long, amazing run but if i'm honest, I think he'll have 1 successful defense.

One if he fights Joshua again and none if he unifies with Wilder.

I don't think he'll be able to get away with fighting more than 2 hamburgers before he'll be forced to fight one of the big names. At that point, if whoever (Wilder,Fury, or anybody decent) comes in with the game plan to work the body, he's giving up those belts that night.

Personally I hope he does get a few good paydays before he's outta there. He did a great job of exposing AJ & Hearn.

People counting Ruiz out again. I think be beats AJ in the remach and he's favorable against everybody else in the division besides Fury. I'm positive that he can beat Wilder. who I like very much and is a KO artist, but can be comically outboxed. Ruiz also has the firepower to hurt him bad in the counter exchanges.

I agree Wilder KOs him but he still would have defended his title one time. The question is how many defenses he would have so even a losing defense would still count as one defense. If the question was how many successful defenses he would have it should have been word that way.

I agree his fast hands, power, chin and smarts give him a good chance to beat anyone fighting today. Off topic I like to give a green K to good posts but with the new karma setup I find it impossible to do so. Does anyone know how to give green Ks with today's karma setup?

Wins the rematch, loses to White.... But if Al can set up a fight after the rematch with Joshua against Wilder I think Andy has a good shot against Wilder. Remember Duhuapas went 12 (at least 11) with the Tuscaloosa Bomber, Andy's fundamentals are better than Duhuapas. Both Joshua and Wilder are supreme athletes but they are not great at the fundamentals I think Andy's style matches up well against both (better against Joshua with his weak jab).

At least 2, he'll destroy AJ in a rematch, then probably an easy fight before taking Wilder or Fury.
In a rematch the boxer almost always beat the puncher, in this case Ruiz is the better boxer and the heaviest puncher, lights out early for AJ next time around.

I'd say 2 with the 2nd losing to Wilder. Ruiz will give any hvw a fight...even Wilder. Joshua might have the hunger to win a rematch, but right now my opinion is that he won't. But I'll read articles and check YouTube to see how his training is going for the rematch and make a real prediction.

i feel great for the guy but i heard not so good stories of him outside boxing. i just hope he doesn't end up to be just another tragic story of what could have been.
