"Ruiz-Toney inked!"

[Fareastwarrior]

I hate both fighters, Ruiz is incredible boring, is more hugging then boxing in the ring, Toney has an unbelievable big mouth, it's time that someone shuts it forever. If I had to pick a winner, then I think that Johnny Ruiz will win on unanimous decision and that Toney will be quiet for a while.

Brewster would have been an easier fight but I think Toney took the right fight because he going for one of the major belts.

At this point any belt is credible.

even though this fight probally wont be any good it needs to happen for the shake of the heavyweight divsion

I really like Toney and hope he beats Ruiz, Spinks is right about styles though and Ruiz usually finds a way to win, but i hope my gut feeling is right I think Toney has far too many skills for Ruiz and will beat him easily (UD) then after that i hope he sticks one on Stoney cos i ****in hate that arsehole

[ejk22]

I don't know maybe I'll quietly root for Ruiz because I would prefer Ruiz to fight possibly Vitali (if Vitali defeats Rahman) and have Vitali destroy huggy bear rather than Toney winning and have us be subjected to his fans talking **** and Toney talking even more ****.

This may be the only time I will be rooting for James Toney. I also wouldn't mind seeing him get his mouth shut for good, but I would rather see it done in devastating fashion by either Klit.

This fight definately doesnt need to happen, If Ruiz wins the boring fights of the division the general public loves will be on going. (Although I respect Ruiz for his work) If Toney wins we will be subjected to his charading around on The Best Damn Sports Show fighting bums again. I truly dont believe if he wins the wba title he will fight anyone credible and when he steps in their with a big man he will be done for. Id still like to see Toney take on Mccline...I think McCline would walk through his shots and beat that ass, Remember Holyfield old and over as he was against Toney in their fight had Toney in trouble in the first round, imagine if a big man was coming at him.....Toney's style may be slick at a lower weight but by him coming forward to much it is going to get him caught....

Ditto I couldn't agree more. The good news is Someone has to lose this fight.

Toney would win Ruiz by UD. Under best condition. Toney is talented boxser than Ruiz, like former Roy Jones Jr. I think.

I imagine 80% of BoxingScene will jump on me, but I see this as a Ruiz UD...

No need to jump on you cause youre probably right, unfortunately! This could very easily be a 12 round nightmare...but I hope somehow, someway, Toney manages to avoid being held (according to Teddy Atlas it takes 2 to hold ) and can eek out a win. It far past time Ruiz lost!
