Not such a silly bet Beanz, also imagine as I said in a previous post.
Price who is a huge puncher when he lands big , Ko's DelBoy , Joshua wins the return with Ruiz ( which I don't think he will by the way ) .
Then thinking Price is an easy touch, Joshua fights him and gets chinned, which isn't out of the question.
Odd's are like 5000 - 1 , worth a few quid of any bodies money.
P.S so I didn't see you at the Wynn casino on September 28th ?
No. I was up on Dartmoor photographing a young Ram who thinks he is a goat and a fella chasing a chicken
Always a big fan of the big man who can level anyone with a punch like that. Written off after Thompson and then again after Povetkin, he will always have that chance to end it quickly and Del Boy is not that hard to hit.
Everyone who hates Joshua picked Ruiz to beat him

Not mad, just very sure if what looked like a very unlikely outcome. It was a good call. I am not so sure Ruiz will be getting up so quickly in the rematch. Joshua is much better than people give him credit for. I see that Mike Tyson is now saying exactly what I said months ago about him. If he believes in his ability a bit more he can actually get away with being less cautious.
Josh Taylor mocks Regis Prograis for struggling to make weight ahead of fight
Josh Taylor mocked opponent Regis Prograis for struggling to make the weight for their super-lightweight unification bout at the O2 Arena on Saturday.
American Prograis, the WBA and WBC champion, needed to take off his shorts before making the 10-stone limit, having initially weighed in at one ounce over.
Scotland’s IBF champion Taylor, who weighed in seven ounces under, told Sky Sports: “I made it easy, he looks like he’s on his feet, dead. He’s getting planted tomorrow. He’s getting planted.
“I’m all good. I’m just ready to fight, nice and relaxed. I can’t wait to go and I can’t wait to do a number on this mouth-piece.
“I can’t wait. I’m going to shut his mouth up. He’s going to sleep and he’s going to go back to America with his tail between his legs.”
Taylor, 28, who won Commonwealth Games gold at Glasgow 2014, is undefeated in 15 professional fights, including 12 knockouts.
He has scored notable victories against Ohara Davies, Miguel Vazquez, Viktor Postol and most recently Ivan Baranchyk, who he beat in Glasgow in May to take the IBF title.
Saturday’s showdown is also the final of the division’s World Boxing Super Series with the winner set to lift the Muhammad Ali Trophy.
“I’ve dreamed about this since this tournament came about,” Taylor added.
“I’ve visualised winning this and lifting that trophy a million times over in my head. It’s in touching distance now and I’m going to grab it with both hands. I can’t wait.”
Prograis, from New Orleans, has knocked out 20 of his opponents in a 24-0 professional career record.
The 30-year-old, who has spent the last three weeks in England preparing for the fight, insisted there had been no problem making the weight.
“No I wasn’t struggling at all, I’m good,” he said. “A miscalculation I guess, but I’m good. As you can see, everything good. I’m going to beat the s*** out of him tomorrow.”
The two fighters were involved in an animated verbal exchange for the cameras after the weigh-in and Prograis added: “We were cursing and we were swearing.
“I’m saying I’m going to stop him, he’s saying he’s going to stop me. It’s going to be a bloody fight.
“I’m sure it’s going to be a bloody fight. Somebody’s going to have to throw the towel in because I’m going to stop him, guaranteed.”
Prograis told the PA news agency: “I guarantee it’s not a 50-50. I’m going to show people, I’m really going to prove how I good I really am.
“But he’s a real good fighter and he’s a real good champion, I respect him 100 per cent.
“For me, throughout my whole career I always had a chip on my shoulder because of stuff like this – people saying it’s a 50-50 fight – and I’m going to prove to people it’s not.”

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Taylor is a good fighter for sure, but I’m starting to think that Prograis might be the real deal. Prograis seems very confident. Either way, I’m excited for the winner of this fight to hopefully fight Ramirez. This weight class is doing everything right.
Prograis putting New Orleans back on the map. Great to have local news talk boxing again . I really hope that Taylor isn't counting on Prograis needing to drop his shorts to make weight as an indicator of victory. Scenarios go back and forth just thinking on it but see Taylor stronger fighter. Probably better ring awareness and better feet v Prograis faster sharper puncher playing out. Prograis would do well to not clown about as well. This is a legitimate super fight I don't care what anyone says. Going for Prograis via tko late, on flesh not lack of will, or nod on cards.
Prograis has looked and sounded like a potential superstar over here, all of a sudden I noticed good British judges started mentioning Spence-Brook, Crawford-Burns, Hagler-Minter.
