Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk Set Down as Mandatory For Ruiz-Joshua Winner

[steeve steel]

Ruiz vs Usyk would actually be a really good fight! Maybe even a classic... Make it happen Mista Destroya!

[elfag]

Fight contracts and ABC organizations are two different things.

If the contract had a rematch clause and Joshua wants his rematch and wants it for the belt then they will need some kind of arbitration between them, Ruiz and WBO.

They could just drop the belt if Ruiz and Joshua were ok with it and execute the rematch clause.

Smartest thing for Joshua is to avoid Ruiz but is also the biggest ***** move too. Does he have the balls for the rematch? Ruiz is a bad style match up for him, Ruiz completely dominated him last fight, it was not just a lucky punch.

[Iron Fister]

No you don't understand. Everyone here thinks Ruiz is a god now because he landed 1 good punch that changed a fight. The same guy who lost to parker lol. It's gonna be funny when he loses his next fight like Charles Martin.

STFU dummy! DKSAB! Ruiz vs Parker could've easily been a W for Ruiz.

Ruiz Sparks your boy again if he tries to exchange on the inside. Maybe AJ can get a decision if he fights like he did vs Parker.

Its only for the wbo belt? So theoretically the winner could just relinquish that title keep the rest and fight who they want surely.

[Banderivets]

The absolute worst. They used to be chill but they got out of hand when they were winning all those titles & thought they could beat American and Mexican fighters. As soon as they stepped up they lost all those titles. They've been coming over here getting their ass beat. At least they still have Calghaze/Lacy to hold onto

Is that really how you feel?

At HW The Gyspy is arguably the best man standing, and prior to that the Klitschko's ran the show for over a decade.

At crusier Usyk was king and now you got a Cuban and a Latvian go at it.

At LHW its all euro.

Super middle all Brits.

Lower weights, sure fairly stacked with Americans.

But just to f2ck that up, you got Loma down there.

Why ya'll get so damn insecure when someone else comes in and eats your food?

You know it won't stop right? Them east euros are hungry and broke and now see boxing as a way to make them dollas.

And in MMA all those Caucasians (caucasian in the real sense, not what the word means in USA) will dominate for years to come and increasingly more so.

Back to Usyk.....I think he beats most of the smaller sized HWs and could grab the title, but he lacks pop. His chin is no worse than Wilder or AJ.

But against the likes of Wilder, AJ and Fury its a tough ask, especially Fury. Out of these three AJ would be the easiest fight.

But its just too early to tell.

[Banderivets]

Holyfield from Cruiser to HW. I think Usyk will be liking his chances against a few of these big guys.

Holyfield was heavy on the sauce.

Usyk is enrolled in VADA. His move should have been to retire for a year, get on the sauce, get deezed and then challenge for HW.

I was specifically talking about the UK fans.

But here's a question. Out of all those UK titlist. How many are lineal?

Not going to argue about the Brits, outside of Fury I'm not really sold on any of them I think the British fans can be a little much. But that goes for all fans tbh.

To be honest I'm taking a more political stance, and here I think the Brits just don't have guys that are broke and hungry enough given the wealth of the UK.

Telling you man, those east euros come from places where the projects of New York look like nice wholesome residential neighborhoods. They come from a place where the average salary is less than in Mexico.

Speaking of hunger, how is boxing doing in Detroit these days? Are there enough kids going into boxing gyms? Or kids all about football and basketball these days?

Just my opinion but if I’m Usyk, I’m rooting for Ruiz big time. Joshua has too much power for Usyk, probably stamina is never even going to be a factor. Ruiz has short arms and slow feet, he’s got power but Usyk probably survives most of what Ruiz is bringing. I got Usyk dancing to a fairly uneventful win over Andy. Joshua catches Usyk once and it’s probably over.

Slow feet? Did you watch him do ladders before the Joshua fight?

Ruiz is more dangerous than Joshua is in this case.

He is a sophisticated boxer puncher, and the speed, I think Usyk should be rooting for AJ big time.

[hitking]

That's bc you haven't looked over the rules .

Usyk was the mando for Joshua anytime he wanted to be all he has to do is say so bc hes a unified CW champ[ion and according to that he can go in HW as a Mando under one of the 3/4 sanctioning bodies.


Wheather its Ruiz or Joshua ,not sure why a ruling had to be addressed bc its the rules ? Many were expecting Usyk to fight Joshua after Usyk defeated Takam and Joshua with Ruiz,neither happened but still could .

The fact that an ABC group can force a champion to face a guy that’s never fought in the division is yet another reason why them, and the belts that represent them are a joke. And that’s not a knock on Usyk. He’s a terrific fighter and I applaud him for daring to be great. That said, he should have to prove his worth as a heavyweight before a champion is forced to fight him.
