According to Fox Deportes, former heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz is “in talks” with both Luis Ortiz and Dillian Whyte for a fight to take place some time in September. Nothing is close to final yet but it’s good news that “The Destroyer” is looking to get in there with another big name.
As fans know, a “rusty’ Ruiz had to get off the deck to win a way tougher than expected decision win over a motivated Chris Arreola in the fight that saw Ruiz return to the ring following his dreadful performance against Anthony Joshua in their return fight. Now, with both Ortiz and Whyte calling him out, Ruiz seems to be headed in the right direction as far as fighting one of them.
There has been a good deal of talk regarding Ruiz-Ortiz and Ruiz-Whyte, with Whyte especially giving the first ever Mexican-American heavyweight ruler plenty of abuse on social media. Ruiz has said a number of times how he would love to shut Whyte up.
Both possible fights are good fights, solid matchups. Ortiz is old as dirt yet the Cuban lefty is dangerous. Whyte is one of the hungrier, I’ll fight anyone heavies out there right now. Whyte may have two fights in America this year, one in August then another later on in the year. The word is Whyte will face Jermain Franklin next, so maybe he will fight Ruiz after that. Or maybe Ortiz is more likely to get the Ruiz fight. Franklin might just give Whyte a tough time of things, and if so, would Whyte then want to head into a tough one with Ruiz?
As a fan of all three fighters, Ruiz, Whyte and Ortiz, either fight is appealing and most welcome. Let’s hope we do get to see Ruiz vs Ortiz or Ruiz vs Whyte here in 2021.
Thoughts?

Whyte would be OK, I would give it 60/40 by KO to Andy if he is properly motivated.
I really don't care to see Ortiz again. Someone stick a fork in him please?

Oh! Andy looks great.
So much quicker on his feet now he's not carrying the excess weight.
I see what a lot of posters have said in the past- he could have been a great cruiser.

I recall causing widespread outrage to the forum during 2016, when I accused Luis Ortiz of being a hype-job.
I also predicted that Deontay Wilder would beat the Cuban.
Both of these opinions led to people accusing me of being a troll, because my opposing thoughts were deemed as being excessively controversial to the point of being offensive!
I was also mocked (around the same date) for claiming that the Andy Ruiz Jr. fight against Joseph Parker would be highly-competitive to the point an upset was very feasible.
Everyone else claimed Andy was no good and would be dominated by Parker with consummate ease.
Anyway, Andy Ruiz Jr. will definitely be installed as the betting favourite if he faces Louis Ortiz next!
Oh times have changed!

People find you offensive, it's not your predictions. It's your toe-curling arrogance, self-righteousness and an uncanny ability exactly mimic the writing style of a 16 year old psychology student that's found an online thesaurus.

Imagine posting something in 2016 and using it to prove you were right 5 years later. It's like me referencing a post in 1972 "Ali sucks!!!" after his shellacking at the hands of Holmes. LMFAO!

He is what he is. I was disappointed that he turned down Joshua for a second shot at Wilder it seems. Probably b/c he felt victory was in his grasp in the first fight, and it was within it in the second fight as well. But why turn down Joshua when he wasn't going to get any younger. I want for Ruiz vs Whyte but substitute in Ortiz for one of them and am still watching it.
