"Ruiz-Toney inked!"

[spinksjinx]

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

To beat Ruiz you have to be dazzling on your feet, Roy had great footwork Toney DOES NOT.

damn this fight....i dont like ruiz,but ...what the hell, toney is not that much of a step up,he's pretty boring except for his iterview etc...i just dont think toney would carry that belt anymore better than ruiz...either way i dont care who wins,but i will be interested to see who wins this and how. If toney underestimates big papa's bear power and gets laid out,i will laugh my ass off for about 3 weeks. I hope someone gets ko'ed atleast,so the people that order this fight dont feel like there money was robbed by don king.

I am like many others in not liking Toney but i won`t downgrade his skills. Toney is great boxer and miles ahead of Ruiz. I can`t really pick a winner ( if the judges are fair then i lean towards Toney ) but i think i kow its going 12 rounds which means it`ll probably be a bad fight to watch!

I hope Ruiz ko's Toney's ass.

[enadeus]

Ruiz will win, it is obvious.

Ruiz will smother Toney, Toney might have quick hands but you have to be quick on your feet to handle Ruiz. Toneys style is tailor made for Ruiz, Toney walks forward and uses upper body movement. You have to beat Ruiz by knocking him out which wont happen Toney isnt the hardest hitter at Heavyweight and Ruiz has a pretty good chin. Toney isnt quick on his feet either.

Ruiz in a boring Unanimous Decision victory, Ruiz will hold and smother Toneys shots, for the love of god Toney better pray Nady is the ref...

I advise a lot of you to go watch Holyfield vs Toney, Toney stays to close to his opponents....Toney is ****ed.

That is a really good analysis if Ruiz fought his normal fight. Honestly I think that Ruiz only uses his punch and hold style when he thinks that might get knocked out. Remember before the Jones fight he said he wanted to go back to his puncher mover style! Remember how ****ty that was, it wasn't just the referre keeping Ruiz off Jones, Ruiz didn't really want to grapple.

So if Ruiz tries to box Toney, toney could easily start piling on the points. Also you no that the networks would be happy to have Toney replace Ruiz so I am predicting a ref that takes away points from Ruiz if he tries to hold or low blow. If Toney doesn't get hit with a KO punch, which I say 60 percent chance he wont he will take the decision.

Then watch how quiet Ruiz gets. I just hope that they don't have a re-match clause.

50/50 fight

I would see this is a pretty even fight. It will be very exciting. I can't wait to see Ruiz's axx get kicked. The only thing I worry about is the stamina of Toney. Toney has been so inacitve comparing to Ruiz...

[Run]

I think Toney would have little trouble knocking Ruiz out.

He punches way too effective, has a superior defense, and is a better fighter overall. I can picture Ruiz throwing his useless combos to the body, and Toney countering with uppercuts.

Toney K.O. 5

bodypunching is overrated, and headhunting is where it is at.

"NEWS FLASH
Ruiz-Toney inked!
Quietman vows to bust up Toney!
WBA heavyweight champion John Ruiz’ manager/head trainer Norman “Stoney” Stone said Friday that Ruiz vs James Toney is a done deal and the only remaining questions are the title fight’s exact date and site. "Both parties have signed," Stone said. "John’s the man in the heavyweight title and Toney’s just another temporary obstacle."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Ruiz (41-5-1, 28 KOs) proclaimed, "I am the best heavyweight in the world. I’ve been calling for a heavyweight tournament, but none of the so-called world champs are willing to risk their belts against me. Others talk about being the best, but I am the best heavyweight today. Toney’s my mandatory and his time is coming. It won’t be a problem getting rid of him before I clean up the rest of the heavyweight division. Come fight time, I’m going to bust up Toney so bad he won’t be able to trash talk anymore. But I’m not going to hurt his ears. After he wakes up, I want him to hear the ring announcer say, ‘And still the WBA heavyweight champion of the world, John ‘The Quietman’ Ruiz.’ I’m putting Toney’s lights out for good. I am the true king of the heavyweights."
