Comments Thread For: Usyk Will Be in Saudi Arabia, Scouting Ruiz vs. Joshua Rematch

[MDPopescu]

After Usyk witnesses Andy Ruiz Jr demolish AJ in person he will change his mind on ordering his WBO mandatory shot

On the contrary -- Usyk will call him out on the spot!...
... But Ruiz will vacate the WBO strap asap and he will fight his stablemate in Wilder...

[MDPopescu]

Not so sure of that.

... at least in part!...

Won’t be a joke when he goes back to sleep and retire fanboy. His chin is China. He can’t beat the top with that chin and robot movement. Ruiz, Usyk, Wilder and Gypsy King beats him.

Usyk will get his shot anyway.

If Joshua wins a rematch, he will be advised to drop WBO belt, so Usyk will probably fight Parker for a free belt and later unification between winners.

Or Joshua will drop IBF belt and fight Usyk as WBO mandatory.


If Ruiz wins, he will gain Wilder fight, he will likely drop WBO as well.

... the PED blown-ups era is now gone...

That's a fair point, and probably explains why Usyk has decided to go for a HW title straight away, instead of "blowing up" first, like Holyfield did.

If Ruiz beats AJ again I don't believe he would need to drop any of his belts to unify with Wilder. If they both agreed to do it immediately. The WBO and IBF would postpone their mandos to allow the unification fight to happen.

He should beat a legit top 15 HW contender before getting a title opportunity. Seems the alphabets and Matchroom want to go the Charles Martin paper title route

You're maybe right... (but Usyk would still keep his mando status vs the Wilder-Ruiz winner)

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Lol yea right. Ruiz not fighting Usyk if he wins. It will be Ruiz Wilder

No he shouldn`t. He is WBo mandatory. Crawford 147 situation.
