Can Ruiz hug his way to a slopy victory vs Wlad?

[paul750]

Someone mentioned strength. One thing Ruiz certainly has is strength.

[Chunk..]

Pretty much sums up the state of the HW division.

John Ruiz wouldn't be able to beat Wlad, he doesn't have the power to get his attention, the speed, or the size. it's tough to wrestle a 6'6" 240 lb. man for 12 rounds effectively, especially one who has a ramrod of a jab. I would absolutely love to see Wlad knock Ruiz the **** out.

[paul750]

Did he not overpower Rahman a few years ago though? You can call Rahman all the names in the world but a weakling is not one of them.

[xEDDIEx]

i think wlad would be able to keep him away the same way he did to ibragimov

[Derranged]

Oh man. I dont wanna find out.

But anyway, no. Wlad would win a sloppy decision, simply because it will be very difficult for Wlad to land hard power shots with Ruiz grabbing him all night. But I think Wlad's skill is enough to beat Ruiz's grabbing..

[river rat]

Didn't Ruiz wrestle the big Valuev around? He might be able to hug Wlad long enough to get him tired and lose his legs. Then Ruiz would be at the top of the world again!

[Moodious]

No way ruiz beats wlad!

[beez721]

How should he by jabbing n holding.
Wlad is the master at jabbing n holding.

so wlad has 44 kayos by jabs or holds?
