To Jim Calfa:<\/strong> Michael Hunter is leaning toward Andy Ruiz Jr. defeating Deontay Wilder.<\/p>\n Wilder vs. Lewis Jr. is yet to be signed, but it will be in the summer.<\/p>\n With WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury busy battling Oleksandr Usyk, Wilder is in no hurry to negotiate a contest with Lewis.<\/p>\n Like many, Hunter is intrigued by the battle between the two former world champions Wilder vs. Lewis Jr., and sees it as a matchup between big punchers of vastly different sizes.<\/p>\n “I got a tall thin toothpick and a short marshmallow<\/strong><\/em>Michael Hunter told iD Boxing about the Deontay Wilder vs. Andy Ruiz Jr. fight.<\/p>\n “Andy Ruiz’s experience is reflected in this one.<\/strong><\/em>He thinks a little more than Deontay Wilder, but Wilder has power, he’s tall, and he’s starting to get a little better at distance as he’s getting older.<\/p>\n “I think it’s going to be a very exciting fight. They’re both big punchers,” said Hunter.<\/p>\n Ruiz’s recent 12-round unanimous decision to beat 43-year-old Luis Ortiz in September last year has been disappointing. Despite beating Ortiz his third time, Ruiz emerged victorious.<\/p>\n Between knockdowns, Ruiz was completely outboxed by talented Cuban Ortiz. Ortiz has shown that even though he’s 43, he still has a lot of skills to pass.<\/p>\n The 33-year-old former IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight champion Lewis Jr. (35-2, 22 KOs) embarrassed his 283-pound weight flabby for his rematch with Anthony Joshua in December 2019. I have lost a lot of weight since then. , he still isn’t exactly what you describe as slim.<\/p>\n Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) recently won his first bout in three years, beating former sparring partner Robert Helenius in a spectacular performance from the 6’7″ Bronze Bomber last October. defeated by knockout in the first round.<\/p>\n What was interesting about Wilder’s victory was the different look he had. I tried to avoid giving Hellenius.<\/p>\n Finally, near the end of the round, Wilder connected with a short right hand to Helenius’ head, knocking Helenius out cold with the canvas. If Wilder fought like that against Lewis, he could produce a quick knockout as well, and the same goes for his fourth contest with Tyson Fury.<\/p>\n![\"YouTube](\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/NPI4cLCZnzM\/hqdefault.jpg\")
