Whyte is a good fighter and not many are willing to fight him. Ruiz might fight him. He seems willing to fight anyone. He has no track record of ducking hard fights and went down under to fight Parker.
Will Ruiz duck Whyte?

There are two questions here:
1. Is Ruiz willing to train and fight or live comfortably until the money runs out?
2. What is that 7 figure pay? A Ruiz fight could potentially generate millions, even without Whyte, so a big question will be is he getting the major chunk or just the leftover money? What is the split?Comment

I think "duck" isn't really the appropriate word here, the same can be applied to the Wilder situation. It's more like a pain in the ass that both could do without. I think going in against Whyte is a mistake for Ruiz though, the last thing his career needs is back to back loses. Even if he wins, he will get 0 credit from the US media and gaining profile in a country you don't expect to fight in again doesn't stand to reason either. (assuming he'd come to the uk)
Don't get me wrong, i'd like to see it but I think the upside for both fighters is fairly limited - other than it will do decent numbers. I prefer Whyte vs Povetkin! (if that's a pick em', i'm taking the old guy!)Last edited by Articulateboxin; 01-16-2020, 01:16 AM.Comment
