Lot of people saying this is on for June 1st
Ruiz is a good boxer, better than most, better than Miller, better than Whyte or Wilder. He just doesn't have the clump, size, chemist or gob of those lot.
It would get shit on of course. The same people who shit on this fight are the same that shit on Parker because he lost to Ruiz. Go figure. AJ cantered past Parker to be fair. AJ would need to lose a limb mid fight to give Ruiz a sniff. Even then he probably hops to an easy decision.

I reckon the logic behind a possible Ruiz fight is that he's a Mexican and DAZN (since signing with them) bagging Canelo has seen a load of Mexican fans signing up.
You'd think Sky Sports in the UK would now offer this as a freebie and drop the PPV.
It's a shame AJs US debut has now become a laughing stock.
The only available opponent that could rescue the night is Ortiz.
Honestly, this is just about the best fight he could make on short notice. I would prefer Ortiz, but he would have to pass drug tests too.
It's hard top knock Joshua for picking Ruiz Jr and I think skill wise it's a step up from Miller honestly. I tend to give Miller the plus in 'durability' but that's really based on being the size of a red wood tree. Have the feeling Ruiz will have to worry more about his face/flesh failing but he's a more accurate faster puncher than Miller. Be interesting to see if all the alphabet soup groups co sign as a defense as Ruiz for whatever reason is not ranked in any top 10. 11th in wba but then again we're talking about a group that had BJ Flores fighting for a trinket. It's a good fight. The shine shouldn't be taken off because Miller chooses to eat a buffet of banned shat on two occasions that we know of. I'm more ticked that they have Yafai on the card in a prime spot .
I don't think Ruiz could make that in under 7 weeks... And I am not a fan of Michael Hunter taking it now either. Why would you want o jump into the wing with a fighter- let alone the champ- like Anthony Joshua UNLESS you have been ready for it like Dillian Whyte seems to be ready all the time for AJ.
Bigger man George, bigger punch!
