Comments Thread For: Wilder: I Liked Ruiz In First Fight With Joshua, Like Him In Rematch

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Few were on record in backing Andy Ruiz to pull off his massive upset knockout win over Anthony Joshua earlier this year. Plenty are on board with the belief that boxing's first ever heavyweight titlist from Mexico will repeat the feat in December. Chief among them is the sport's lone other claimant to the heavyweight throne.

“With Joshua we tried many, many, many times to get that fight to unfold, to make that dream fight happen for the fans,” insists Wilder. “To unify the division and have one champion."

Ruiz - Wilder - hmmmmmmm? Tentatively? My money is on Ruiz if he can let those combos go - I think he has a bit more pop than Fury and Fury landed enough times. Imagine an undisputed Mexican HW champion - in such a situation Canelo loses May and September dates.

Everyone is acting like Ruiz is this massive Mike Tyson type puncher now since the AJ fight, he is not a massive puncher, yeah he has some pop....but he not known for his power, he known for his speed and skill, he took AJ by suprise with his speed although AJ was down 4 times, non of those knockdowns looked destructive, more like his speed and accuracy caught AJ off guard...and as they say speed kills.

Ruiz has skill similarities to the late Corrie Sanders. Smaller and rounder yes - but very quick. Better beard than Sanders.

Yes, Sanders was very fast and skillful, but hit like a mule. Always remember his destruction of Wlad Klitschko, he also had Vitali in a bit of trouble and destroyed Rahman.

I hope ruiz wins again so the undisputed fight will unfold (both vs wilder or....ortiz, who knows?).

Wilder vs Ruiz is officially the biggest fight in boxing!

An undefeated American knockout artist champion vs the first heavyweight Mexican unified champ

If PBC can stage it for all the belts, they would be rolling in dough!

Wilder is lying his ass off. He roadblocked the Joshua fight for over a year. And then he signed a quick deal with Fury because it was a rigged inside job business alliance because both Fury and Wilder are minor league draws and their handlers believed if they fought it would raise their profiles and values. But it failed. Because deep down everyone knows Fury and Wilder was a rigged inside job.

Wilder is hoping Ruiz wins the AJ rematch because then Haymon will rig Ruiz to lose to Wilder by KO.

So this fight is huge for Joshua, for himself and to block out Haymon from getting total control of the hwt division. But then Haymon will lose the belts because he will vacate rather than risk Wilder vs Whyte or Pulev or Usyk.

Wilder is lying again, he never publicly predicted Ruiz would beat Joshua. Just another self serving lie from the biggest fraud in boxing.
