No he doesnt, he ate every shot Aj could give him and still made it, reason he went down cause aj put together a 3 punch combo, in the rematch AJ is gonna be in pure box Wladimir klitchscho mode so he wont be touching Ruiz chin with combos.
Ruiz loses int he rematch

Ruiz has been boxing since he was 6 years old, I see those same idiots who called him names because he doesn’t have the looks, still writing him off. I would take Ruiz over Michael Grant looking body type anytime of the day. Ruiz knows the basis, he might not have the looks but he showed he knows what to do when hurt, when he has some hurt etc
I have gone back and watch many of his fights before the Joshua fight and you can tell he knows exactly what he is doing. Team Joshua should never have picked someone like him, they should have picked a taller, muscular bum. Not someone whose background was instil in boxing from a young age.Comment

Just watching Ruiz that one prior time told me he was a live dog. Yeah, Joshua’s team apparently thought he was manageable — I did, too — but Andy was obviously not a good choice. Regardless of what you thought of Ruiz before, he has to rank in the top-ten now, after he snatched that belt. That was no fluke.Certain people may have viewed Ruiz as a live dog. (I wasn’t one of them and got the fight prediction completely wrong) But I also don’t buy into this narrative that Ruiz was a top 10 HW and deserving challenger. I mean prior to AJ what credible wins did he have? A shot version of Dimitrenko or Liakhovich.
AJ’s team definitely viewed Ruiz as a safe option and easy fight for AJ’s US debut, unfortunately for them, Ruiz ripped up the script.Comment

Oh yeah without question. I don’t really view him as a threat to guys like Fury or Wilder but any other HW he likely gives problems.Just watching Ruiz that one prior time told me he was a live dog.
