Agree with this.

I think Ruiz 1 changed Joshua & I can't see him reverting to type, because that defeat showed him that he doesn't quite have the stamina nor the durability to be super aggressive against the elites.


He might try different tactics against Usyk in the rematch, but Oleksandr will also make the necessary adjustments & probably prevail again.

He definitely does not beat Fury, but like you say, a Wilder fight would be intriguing.

They should have fought in about 2018 for all the belts & it would have been even better then, but it's still a good fight.

I'd be inclined to go with Wilder as he seems to have more dog in him, but Joshua also has balls & heart, but ultimately I think his stamina issues would let him down.
