Andy Ruiz would be a bad style for Wilder

    One of the top chins in the heavyweights, not sure if it's THE best chin.

    His issue is he has too many of them.

    ****** fat *** not taking the rematch serious diet and training wise, such a waste of potential legendary moments and memories there.

    He's definitely a very good boxer, good speed and power, well schooled, and his cardio is decent for his physique, but yeah, f'ing up preparations for that AJ 2 fight, just such a damn shame that.

    As for him and Wilder, good 50-50 fight and his style should match well to beat Wilder.
    That's if Andy isn't so ego bloated and takes the sport more seriously, actually have a salad or two, and PROPER Conditioning yeah he could a hell of a problem for all of them in the division, the iq is there..

    Realistically, is he gonna do all that? He needs to start living like a monk concerning the boxing, I don't think he will. Who knows, Snikers are nice to be fair.

I agree that Wilder can catch him coming in, and obviously in certain areas height is a disadvantage, but Andy has a pretty good guard, and actually that coupled with the short height makes him a small target. A guy like Fury, who is quite active, doesnt throw everything hard and flicks a lot of punches would probably break Andy up but Wilder doesnt do that. He has a good jab, and right hand, but Fury exposed him a bit, in the sense that if you get past those two punches he doesnt defend himself too well on the inside, and cant fight on the fly like Joshua did at times in the rematch. My gut tells me that Andy's chin and defence will hold up

      I like the style match up, tbh Wilder doesnt need this type of match up right now, but down the road it's very interesting and as I said my money is on Andy
      No if you have slow feet then you have poor footwork, it's not different, if you are unable to close the distance or get away from shots because you have slow feet then that means your footwork is poor.

      AJ doesnt have the best footwork but he was running rings about Ruiz in the rematch

        Agree to disagree, anyone that has spent any amount of time in a boxing ring would tell you the same.

        Amir Khan, very fast feet, not great footwork.

        Miguel Cotto, slower feet, very good footwork.

        Feet arent just about speed, they are about pivoting, twisting, shuffling, sliding to create punching angles, evading, maintaing balance, and creating the right distances. Only the last part has much to do with foot-speed.

        You are WRONG

          Agree to disagree then tell me I'm wrong, lol. Cotto did not have slow feet he was excellent at closing. Khan had terrible footwork but he wasnt particularly fast with his feet either, he simply has fast hands.

          You cant have slow feet and good footwork, I couldn't care what you say because You're wrong
