    So we all have our opinions on who they think will win. But who do you personally want to win this fight? And what is your reason?

    I have no dog in this. It's wrong to pick against Joshua simply because he is a Hearn fighter.

    I want the most honest man to win.

    The man who tries the hardest and the best he can and does so with no outside help.

    We won't fully know that until the event actually starts.

    Anthony Joshua.

    Andy Ruiz had his Buster Douglas moment - and that's it.

    See I kind of see it the opposite. But only if Joshua’s done. If the same outcome happens, it makes some intriguing matchups.

    Joshua was Probably THE Biggest Current Fight-by-Fight Earner in Boxing; Still Among Them Going into the RE...

    Like Canelo and Pacquiao, Joshua is a LOTTERY Fight for Anybody in His Division...But If he LOSES to Ruiz Yet Again Those Days are Over...No, the "Lottery" Aspect Won't Simply Shift to Andy Ruiz Either...

    Joshua is/was a GLOBAL Phenomenon, Something Ruiz Will Never Be...Even w/the Rabid Support of the Loyal Mexican Fanbase, Ruiz Won't TRULY Resonate Outside of North America...

    Ruiz Winning the RE is Also Potentially Problematic in Terms of Having an UNDISPUTED Heavyweight Champion...Ruiz is a PBC Guy and Made No Secret of Wanting to Unify w/Wilder Next (a HUGE Fight in Its Own Right, But Nowhere Near Joshua-Wilder HUGE)...

    All the While, Kubrat Pulev is the IBF Mandatory and There's Talks of Ruiz Vacating that Belt if PBC is Unable to "Convince" the IBF and Pulev to Step Aside for Wilder-Ruiz...

    The BIGGER the Fight the BETTER it is for Boxing...Especially In Our Sports GLAMOUR Division...1 Loss Anthony Joshua Does MORE For the Division and the Sport than 2 Loss Joshua Would...

    I got no favorites in this one.

    It would be more lucrative if AJ won. But I wouldn’t be the least bit mad to see Ruiz upset Hearn’s apple cart again.

    I think if Joshua beats Ruiz in spectacular fashion, indicating the first fight was a fluke. Then it's good for boxing. If Joshua wins by robbery or barely squeaks out a victory, it's no good. He will get pummeled by the likes of Wilder, Fury and Ortiz. but if Ruiz wins in spectacular fashion, this could be awesome. It means those fast hands are for real and could possibly give anyone a tough fight.

    I'm with Irish. I have no dog in this.

    I just want it to be an explosive fight that ends in a stoppage either way.

    I picked Joshua purely because I dislike fat people so much.

    Ruiz is more likable but a joshua win sets up bigger fights, bigger nights, especially for uk fans. I hope he wins but ruiz fights well and comes out bankable too. The more big fights the better.

    I disagree with REED that a Joshua win is better for boxing - because Ruiz figures to have the better chance against Wilder.

    Wilder-Joshua seems like a huge mismatch at this point. Wilder would almost certainly lay the robot out cold.

    There's gonna be LOL's on Saturday night either way.

    Either a fat cholo is gonna get knocked out, or a brainless robot is gonna get knocked out.

    A win-win.

    Don't care either, but voted Ruiz. Reason being is even if Joshua wins i don't see his loss as a purely a fluke. If it's not Ruiz, it will be somebody else who beats him in similar fashion.

    I want Joshua to win, mainly for the same reasons that Hut gave. I'm not a big fan or anything but superstars are good for the sport, even if they were more popular than good.

    I also pick Joshua, though not confidently. I still believe it could have been a case of having a bad day at the office

    I hope Ruiz wins. Firstly because I backed him at 3-1 a few months back (the 5-2 widely available is still a massive price IMO), secondly because I think Ruiz is being undersold from the first fight (there is a growing narrative that Joshua 'was off', rather than his being 'off' involved him being punched hard andareoeatedly in the face and head) and thirdly because I fucking detest Hearn. Utterly detest him.

    None of those are especially noble reasons, but they are mine nonetheless.

    I have absolute ZERO respect for any fat slob that calls himself an athlete. This Mexican Fatso is a disgrace to the sport and was just plain lucky that Joshua didn't took him seriously the first time and became careless. This time when Joshua puts him down on the canvas he will remain down or will pray that he had remained down. I expect a sharp, fierce Joshua taking the trash back to the dumpster where it belongs.

    Ruiz all day.

    Joshua, the enormous juiced overhyped idiot, popular primarily because he has muscles, vs the pizza-eating fat fuck - who can actually fight.

    I've said for a while I think Ruiz does him again. I don't really care who wins, both seem like good eggs and neither of them are beating Fury or Wilder.
