Heavyweight Division
Andy Ruiz is incredibly frustrating.

He's got talent, and his abilities make him a unique danger in the division.

He's harder than a coffin nail, great chin, can take massive bombs and instead of cowering he comes back with explosive retaliation.

Superb handspeed, probably the fastest combination puncher in the division.

Enough power to hurt anyone.

I mean what more do you need Andy?

You'd think he would be frothing it for the Usyk fight. Yes Usyk has quicker feet but he lacks the height and reach to be able to do what AJ did in the rematch or even what Parker did.

Usyk would have to be in punching range to land anything on Ruiz, and Ruiz has quicker hands than Usyk as well as more power and is a great counterpuncher at close range. You would think he would really face that fight. Daniel Dubois had success against Usyk and he isn't half the fighter Ruiz is.

Andy was spoilt by the AJ 2 payday, he got 9 million us dollars, now he can't get out of bed for the 500k paydays that he needs to do 2 or 3 of to get in position for another shot. It's sad.

Spot on Inferno. Great analysis. I do think you're right, that Ruiz can beat Usyk. He gets KO'd vs Wilder.

Agree he is one who could def give usyk headaches with his fast counters but wilder kos him .Ruiz needs to fight anyone at this point. He needs to be active and not just cherry pick big money

Bart, who do you think Ruiz should fight next???

Not sure about next but Parker 2 would be good $ for both.
Challenge the winner - if a close fight loser of ZZ v JJ
Keep busy fight Franklin - Ejaba

Ejaba yes . Franklin is a lesser riuz he is quick with counters and could cause a crap fight v jp
