    If AJ comes to box again he will be difficult to beat. It will be a boring fight.

      Guess who else wouldn't have loss that? Wilder. Neither would Fury.
      How do you come to that conclusion? Wilder and Fury don't have the sand to fight Ruiz; even in his JoshuavRuiz2 condition.

      Ruiz would close the distance on Wilder too quickly and probably the same with Fury. None of the top 3 are as quick to close the distance and go inside, as we've seen Ruiz do.

      Ruiz wasn't even knocked down until he fought Joshua so his chin is solid. No way Fury will put him down, even with his glove shenanigans. Ruiz just ruined it for himself in the rematch.

      Also, considering the weight restrictions at Floyd's class, there wouldn't be anyone as big as Ruiz, would there? So how can there be any comparison? That's the same as saying if Joshua, Wilder and Fury were middleweights, they wouldn't be top 3.

        But Pulev has enough amateur experience and a heavyweight punch that it is possible.

        It reminds me a lot of Joshua-Ruiz 1 to be honest. I’m picking Joshua by KO but he doesn’t have a great chin and it’s always vulnerable because of that.
        Totally true. After Ruiz 1, you know every Joshua fan (including myself) has a seed of doubt as to whether AJ can take a truly heavy hit.

        I think its not a case of if/when Pulev can connect with Joshua but more if Pulev can survive long enough to get that big shot in.

        Joshua needs a highlight reel KO to assert some 'tier 2 fighter' dominance - it's worked for Fury against Schwarz and Pulev is a better all round fighter, than Schwarz - otherwise, whenever a mandatory comes around, there is doubt as to whether Joshua can win. Although its exciting for neutrals/casuals, you need to be dominant (especially against outside top 5-10) to be truly considered ATG material and worthy Undisputed. None of the 3 elite boxers have done that to date, IMO.

            Can anyone actually picture Pulev holding Joshua's belts?

                    It's certainly very possible. Once exposed, always exposed.

                      Would probably end AJs career!
