They want to trash his opponents just to make Wilder opponents look better in comparison. Someone even use a fight from 6 years ago to judge how “Terrible” Ruiz is. I watch his fight against Joe Hank and I just thought that guy looked exactly like Joshua and Ruiz stopped him in 4 rounds too.
“Business man Wilder” can let it marinate for another 3 years now. Yeah that’s 100m down the drain lol.

He is not getting passed that jab, period.
I think this is more wishful thinking than anything tbh but I genuinely hope I am wrong because I just see a big mismatch tbh.
A very good, fundamentally sound huge HW vs a fringe contender type too lazy to make CW.
As I said, he was able to keep composed in the pocket and his chin was good enough. What surprised me was how good his legs were even after the knockdown, his chin and recuperative abilities ultimately made the difference
Good debate though

Reading this thread back brings the scale of the upset into perspective. Even the OP didn't go all the way and predict that Ruiz would win. I'm not even gonna act smug because my prediction was the same as pretty much everybody else in the thread.

I always saw this as a tricky fight because I felt Ruiz was fast enough to throw with Joshua at mid-close range. These tier 2 fighters in the division are not as far behind Fury, Wilder, and Joshua as these "fans" think

Yeah, Andy pulled off the upset of the century. AJ will repay the favor inside of 4.
Fury caught a break when he ''fought'' a disinterested Wlad
Andy caught a break when he fought a clueless, tankless AJ
Unlike Wlad, AJ will redeem himself and I'm not an AJ fan.

Whatever became of HWs who won fights they had no business winning....
Buster = 1 hit wonder
Rahman = 1 hit wonder
MCCall = 1 hit wonder
Brewster = 15 minute reign
Sanders = 1 hit wonder
We will add Andy by the end of the year

Originally posted by sunny31 View PostI doubt it, the standard was a bit higher in those eras. Ruiz isn't a walk over for any of these guys. Tyson Fury who doesn't hold a high opinion of AJ eluded to what I did in this thread, Ruiz is a good, dangerous fighter.
His name will be added
