That sounds so far fetched.. But as you say you can't trust anyone or anything in boxing. Where there is enough money there is corruption, I can easily see AJ winning by doing exactly what he did against parker

Josh coming in lighter should help with his cardio. Ruiz is looking sharp on clips ive seen, he has a punches chance again and id suspect he has to come in to the early rounds fast to win. Still think Josh will do enough to keep him at bay this time, chin is suspect though.

Is there a heavyweight out there who’s chin isn’t suspect with the exception of Whyte?

OMG, Ruiz has weighed in at over 20st, a stone heavier than last time. Has he actually been training?
I think that’s way too heavy. Either he gets AJ quick or he’s gonna blowing out of his ass far quicker than a 16st AJ.

You mean AJ has a puncher's chance? Ruiz is the superior boxer..
Muscle is denser than fat. So he weighs more while looking slimmer.

You think? I wouldn't say it's rock solid based off the first Ortiz fight.

He must be mandatory to the WBC now? Wilder is ducking Whyte and the WBC are protecting Wilder. Wilder is a franchise champion now..
Why did it take 6 months for them to rule on Whyte's case? Also, did they address the fact that there was a failed test (sample) and his opponent was not informed of that before the fight like he bloody well should have been informed?
Ruiz will ko Joshua again
Fury will beat wilder
Then 2020 fury will fight wilder again for best of 3 result
Then fury fights ruiz end of 2020 and gets all the belts
Joshua will face whyte again and whyte will ko joshua
That's next 12 months imo
Wilder will have to fight Whyte within the next two fights. The winner of AJ Ruiz will have at least two mandatory fights and will probably need to vacate one belt.
The best outcome would be would AJ wins tomorrow, Whyte fights for the vacant title and Fury fights Wilder. That keeps the belts from Hayman and the possibilities of unification alive.

Too much weight on the tubby lad. Too much pressure. Not enough hunger (not talking food, obvs). He can still win, but I'm betting against him.

20st Ruiz has better cardio than 17st Joshua. Mark my words.
He was cleared to fight wasn’t he?
Correct; he was still cleared to fight despite failing a drug test and failing to have the basic decency to inform his opponent.
You see false positives sometimes. These guys are elite athletes and are at the extreme end of the metabolic scale when in training.
The idea that it might have been a false positive is more than contradicted by all the secrecy. They chose to withold the knowledge of the failed drug test from his ******* opponent who's got their health, life on the line. Extremely quiet between a few people before, during and after the fight, and were set to stay totally silent about it until Thomas Hauser over at Boxingscene.com broke the story and then all of a sudden Whyte & co are scrambling... maybe we'll get some proper explanations sometime, but I won't hold my breath.
