Could Ward pull off what Roy Jones Jr. did vs the other Ruiz at Heavyweight?
No let’s not get carried away Andy Ruiz in no way is John Ruiz and Roy Jones would have knocked Ward out
I’ve already posted how I met ward at Fenton’s in Oakland, Sorry Ruiz... I’m a ward fan for life.
I think, Ruiz would do very well, but I’d be rooting for ward...
Oh yeah, I’m a Mexican American Jew...
I’m a boxing fanatic... sal Sanchez is my heart.
Yeah, I'd have to go with Ruiz, as much as I love SOG.
Ruiz is too big, too fast of hands, and has the extensive amateur pedigree that people keep forgetting.
Ward has the pedigree too, but would be too small, not fast enough I think to avoid Ruiz for 12 rounds.
Plus, he's 35 or 36 years old and has been out of the ring for 2 years now.
Ward is slower than Roy Jones
Andy Ruiz has MUCH MUCH faster hands that John Ruiz had.
Andy Ruiz would probably beat the hell out of John Ruiz...and if it didn't end in a KO, it would end up being a lopsided decision in favour of Andy Ruiz. Quick hands were John Ruiz's cryptonite.
I think Ward would have a very good chance and I don’t see why he wouldn’t come out of retirement for this fight.
This guy is one of the most stupid users from this side
Could Ward pull off what Roy Jones Jr. did vs the other Ruiz at Heavyweight?
If Ward wasn't retired and still appeared to have several good years left, maybe then I would make the comparison. Ward coming off a 3 year layoff, giving up 40lbs, to face a guy he can't hurt and would ko him with any decent shot isn't anything close to the same as what Jones did. Jones had the perfect opponent to make his move to HW. Ruiz would be completely wrong for Ward though.
Ruiz is just to big and comes to fight. AJ is 6'6 250lb and ruiz was able to eat his punches and keep moving forward..Ward fights nothing like Roy which was elusive and relied on speed. Ward relies on in fighting and being able to control you in clinches and move you around.
Ruiz to big to strong
Good post. John Ruiz wasn't a KO puncher either, Andy Ruiz is.
