Ruiz father: "3 fight plan, 2 fights before wilder"

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Stop making plans like this... The saying goes, "del plato a la boca se cae la sopa".... It doesn't rhyme in English but it translates to something like, "from the plate to your mouth, the soup can fall." AJ too had his plans before the 1st fight.

Good point. That’s why all this marination bullsh** needs to be eradicated. If AJ loses how much money has he lost out on by not fighting Wilder or Fury when his stock was high.

That sucks. I wonder if I should root for Joshua now, instead of Ruiz. But why bother? Joshua won't fight Wilder either.

[Legends456]

I knew he would want to stall getting knocked the **** out by Wilder.

I’m not sure Ruiz gets knocked the spark out by Wilder, especially since Wilder’s probably peaking now and will begin to slowly lose some of his trademark speed. Fury has shown that his best shots can be taken and got up from (keep in mind Fury doesn’t even have the best chin in the sport, only better than Wilder has faced).

Of course Wilder might get him, but Ruiz could get to him first. And he may have one or two “get ups” in his tank if and when Wilder does get to him. All this makes for a really good unification fight. That said, Ruiz shouldn’t look past Joshua, you know?

[Legends456]

You sure? We just seen yet another Wilder fight BOMB. America has a huge American Mexican fan base, Wilder said that himself, Ruiz has not yet fought back on American soil since he won all those world titles and if he does it again in Saudi how can we say he wont come back a bigger star than Wilder.

I keep hearing Wilder is a big star over there but all the numbers suggest he really isnt. Ruiz will be an unknown quantity plus he will carry more world titles than Deontay.

Why do you think Wilder can’t be a mega star in America like Tyson?

Why do you think they weren’t able to market Fury in America either even though they put him in an America cape and Mexico helmet?

Is boxing not appreciated in America anymore?

Wilder has put crazy effort in to self promotion over the last coue of years and yet his numbers remain OK at best. He's in his mid 30,s and he's half 43 fights if he ain't a mega star now he just will never be.

PPV market will never reach the crazy days of the last couple of generations, not at those prices and the ease of illegal streaming. But its still a huge market. American boxing in a bit of a lull but they had 40 years of dominance, it will come again.

Totally agree with this, no way would Ruiz be made the A-side over Wilder. Even his promotional outfit PBC would want Wilder to win.

The only way I see Ruiz getting the A-side treatment is if a lot more Mexicans jump on his bandwagon, maybe PBC would see him at that point as a major ticket seller than Wilder, who is currently costing them money.

Foaming at the mouth fans can be irrational, wishy washy and not to mention (but I will) hypocritical.

That Andy bandwagon is as full as it gets and it's still not enough to warrant Vegas putting that A Side stamp on him.

In a couple of days, we won't have to worry about A Side Andy.

[Curtis Harper]

... in case Andy wins again on Saturday... and in case Andy actually fights Wilder in a "foreseeable future"... ...

I sink and swim on my word. I say AJ exacts revenge. Andy wasn't much to look at previous to his fight with AJ and was still ordinary until AJ got reckless. ''He has fast hand''

It's unexpected ''speed'' when you look at his shape.

Take away his so called hand speed and what's left ?

People mention his fight with Parker as if Parker is some kind of throne blocker.

IF Andy wins again, I blame Khan.

[Curtis Harper]

Why when i say Andy Ruiz is the A side you tell me betting odds? I have no doubt what so ever Wilder will be the Bookies favourite but whats that got to do with anything when im talking about Ruiz getting the better % of the split and gets to dictate where and when because he is the A side.

I can't recall the last time a certified A Side was the betting dog.

fury is not a big big fight as wilder has proven, and wilder didn't fight him so what are you implying? he needed to offer wilder 200 million? all these guys are already being massively overpaid in an attempt to corner the market. they aren't really worth this much. right time, right place.

Back then, I watched Parker vs Ruiz (only because Parker had a "belt") -- and I has it more like a "draw"...

... but, with this one here, the "problem" isn't Ruiz... the "problem" is Joshua himself -- and I agree that it rather is a Khan-esque situation...
