Walk up to both John Ruiz and Kimbo Slice today with a very large contract to fight each other 1 year from now. Ruiz is training with his camp, Kimbo picks up an Angelo Dundee type trainer. 1 year to prepare. Scheduled 10 round Boxing match.
What is the outcome?
:boxing:
If Kimbo were able to beat John Ruiz, he wouldve picked up boxing rather than MMA. MMA is a sport you dont need much training to get to the top, just ask college wrestlers who start MMA after they graduate and become champs. Im sure John Ruiz has faced harder punchers than Kimbo so thats not really a problem
1 year boxing traing to beat a former world heavyweight champ? I seriously doubt it. Kimbo would not have a chance to hit Ruiz, jab and grab my friends jab and grab.
Thats why he is not knocking him out. Fight will end with a Kimbo KO of Ruiz or Ruiz winning by points.

Ruiz gets close enough to KO him, he gets KO'd before Kimbo. I would bet Kimbo would be in better shape than Ruiz.
Very true, but I don't think Ruiz would be dumb enough to get too close but you never know. I don't think Kimbo (with his huge size) is cut out to fight a 10 round fight with Ruiz, no matter how good of shape he gets in. Ruiz would definitely be the superior boxer. IMO I still see Ruiz getting knocked out easily in the first couple of rounds.
All Kimbo has is a punchers chance in the first two rounds. After that he gets KO'd.

Ruiz vs. Kimbo
Ruiz can't knock out Kimbo. He don't have the power. They get in an exchange in close quarters, Ruiz is done. Not to mention Kimbo has a chin. Ruiz with gloves on is NOT going to knock him out.
Kimbo
Kimbo dropped 30 pounds for his fight this weekend. The man was ripped and in shape. You think he is going to run out of gas after 1 year of training with Dundee?!?!? You crazy
