It's fairly clear that Ruiz will beat Joshua again. I'd also take him to beat Dillian Whyte, but thinking about that fight also, it would be another great fight. It could really get Ruiz on a roll of great fights to watch. So, I'm taking "A-side" over "B Sample".
Here's how I see things playing out. Fury delays the Wilder fight allowing Ruiz (after he beats Joshua again) to fight Wilder for all the belts (the winner being contracted to fight Fury next) Wilder beats Ruiz by KO. Ruiz comes back in the Summer and beats Dillian Whyte in a fight of the year contender. Fury beats Wilder in a surprising toe to toe war fighting in a southpaw stance.
Joshua beats Hughie Fury 116-112 on points (Hughie taking the first 2 rounds then fading) and fights Deontay Wilder in his comeback fight (after Fury loss). Wilder wins by 1st Round knock out. Joshua rematches Dillian Whyte (50-50) and Wilder fights Fury again, this time losing clearly on points.
By this time all of the prospects coming through, Dubois, Hrgovic, etc, etc, will be looking to get matched with the likes of Parker, Ruiz, Whyte, Joshua, etc. Exciting fights ahead here. If Wilder and Ortiz rematch goes ahead, i think Wilder wins early, I saw some real decline in Ortiz vs Hammer and he's only getting older and slower.
