Ruiz doesn't think it's smart for other heavyweights to keep calling out Joshua. He believes Joshua still poses a real threat in the ring, despite what some might think.
When asked about a possible fight between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua, Ruiz had this to say:
"They think he's an easy opponent (Anthony Joshua), but he's still a dangerous fighter. Probably (Jake Paul) would give Joshua a more complicated fight than Ward. Because he's been active. He's bigger, taller. He's a natural heavyweight."
Ruiz points out that Paul's size and recent activity in the ring could make him a tougher opponent for Joshua than some might expect.
Jake Paul's boxing career has been a mixed bag so far. He's won fights against a former NBA player and some retired MMA fighters. But he lost to Tommy Fury, a professional boxer. Now, he's set to face Mike Tyson and has called out Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
The trend of YouTubers entering the boxing world has stirred up a lot of debate. Some fans love it, while others think it's bad for the sport. Meanwhile, the heavyweight division remains as competitive and sought-after as ever.
Ruiz's comments add an interesting perspective to the ongoing discussions about Jake Paul's place in boxing and the current state of the heavyweight division.
