.....Vs John Ruiz

[BoxBuzz]

I preferred his time on the deck during the Tua fight, to his entire time as champion.

I blame Holyfield for allowing it to happen.

So with that said, How would he do against these ten best of the best ('cept for one) former champs?


Ruiz vs Joe (Louis/Frazier)
Ruiz vs Foreman
Ruiz vs Tyson
Ruiz vs Ali
Ruiz vs Liston
Ruiz vs Holmes
Ruiz vs Spinks (Leon/Michael)

Man you must really hate Ruiz

The only one I see him beating is Leon Spinks.

[BoxBuzz]

I'm with Tony.....though I thought I left a one out of ten win option with Leon.

Sounds like he'd have a hard time huggin' these guys.

Ruiz vs Dempsey

Joe Louis wrecks him sometime within the first 3 rounds. Could be Round 1, could be Round 3...but it'd be short
Frazier stops him inside 4 as well. Either Round 3 or 4 I'm thinking.
Tyson wrecks him in 1.
Muhammad Ali stops him around the 8th or 9th round.
Liston wrecks him inside 2 rounds. Probably 1.
Holmes outboxes him, and stops him somewhere between the 7th and 9th rounds
Ruiz fights Leon Spinks to a draw
Michael Spinks beats Ruiz by decision
Jack Dempsey wrecks him inside 2 or 3 rounds

[gregor]

Ruiz would not achieve half of what he did without referees turning blind eye to his holding & wrestling.

He has decent chance against Leon Spinks... maybe Ali in 1981
