Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis: Andy Ruiz Should Make First Defense in Mexico

[messenger]

Los Angeles of Vegas has more money for insuring the fight doesn't end up in the UK but both are close enough to the border for paying fans.

I'm in 2 mi nd's with Josh beating ruiz as I like the snickers eating mexican.
Id prefer Josh to batter wilder.

Mexico would be nice, but I think NYC is probably the best choice! If it goes to the UK, Joshua better get the KO, or it's going to look suspect!

funny how some people are still in denial and think that a quitter , with little heart, no chin ,no defense will be able to handle wilder power and speed and somehow still beat wilder .

AJ should listen to Lennox Lewis, one of the all time heavyweight champion greats; he won't, but he should. Remember, it was almost three years before Muhammad Ali had his rematch with Joe Frazier (and yes, I realize that Andy Ruiz isn't Joe Frazier; however, AJ most certainly isn't Muhammad Ali either).

Still not hearing from anyone specifically WHERE in Mexico. That nobody is pointing to a particular venue and suggesting it be held there makes me skeptical that there is such a place. I think LA or Vegas are about as good a home field as Ruiz can get. Saying “Mexico “ is just fantasy.

I think part of the consideration is that Hearn / Joshua know that if they don’t take the rematch now, Ruiz is likely to get beaten by Wilder / Fury or maybe an Usyk before Joshua can get him back in the ring. A win over Ruiz might mean little in a couple of years time (and be for no belts) if he’s had a loss or two in the meantime.

Also it’s big money to rematch now, and Joshua’s credibility will be even more damaged if he doesn’t take it. Worth the gamble I think.

Lewis would have been forgotten name if he didn't connect with Manny Steward and he knows it. At this level you need the best to mount a huge comeback from a one sided annailation. This wasn't a one punch KO he was demoralized for 7 rounds. Joshua is a great guy and a great talent and he will be ruined without an expert in his corner. Bring on George Foreman, it will be a great match up and a beautiful story. Let them have 3 fights together before the rematch

Lennox even at his age should challenge AJ and beat him badly :^)
