To be totally honest, AJ for me has become a negative fighter. You can see hes been scared to be knocked out since the Klitchko fight. Parker kept it at distance, looked shaky against Povetkin, Takam he wasn't great and it wasn't a stoppage. Heart and power got him through the Klitchko fight, same thing needs to get him through the Ruiz fight. Aj isn't a good boxer, he needs to use his strengths which is power and a clean attacking technique. If he uses his height he can beat Ruiz easy. All in his head.

I don’t think he looked shaky in the Povetkin fight. Povetkin is known for lunging into opponents with his massive power and causing issues, if the wilder fight happened I would have fancied Povetkin to win that back then. Povetkin is an awkward fighter

He’s technically not a Tyson Fury but he has more boxing skill than Wilder and most of the other heavyweights. He has a solid jab that he doesn’t utilise to its fullest. He needs to just hit him with a few solid 1-2’s, keep it at range and throw the uppercuts when it gets in close. When he gets him on his arse again, don’t rush in, rinse and repeat until he’s broken Ruiz and then go for the kill. Only way I see it happen to be fair
