HE BEAT HARRISON AND SKELTON.

yeah Harrison must have been top 25, Danny could beat Valuev and the new WBO champion whose name I can't spell IMO.

to not make it personal... that question is a joke... ruiz would not win a round... vitali can take a huge punch, one muhc harder than ruiz's
i like ruiz of late because he seems honest but this is a definate loss for him

John "The Quietman" Ruiz, 41 Wins 28 KOs 6 Losses 1 Draw, 6'2'' 240 lbs.
Strengths: Determination, will; experience; good combination puncher, also to the body.

Vitali "Dr. Ironfist" Klitschko, 35 Wins 34 KOs 2 Losses, 6'8'' 250 lbs.
Strengths: Size; power; good chin.

What would have happened, had a prime John Ruiz faced a prime Vitali Klitschko?
Klitschko knew exactly how to use his body size to his advantage, so for his opponents it was very hard to come close. But he also was very robotic most of the time and very predictable: left jab, right cross, leaning back ...
John Ruiz always tried anything to win, some call it ugly others call it a warrior's mentality. His experience would be a huge advantage over Klitschko. Besides, Vitali never faced a better body puncher than Ruiz.

In my opinion Ruiz would frustrate and tire Klitschko out, stop him late in the eleventh round. What do you think? Please let us discuss.

lol,,nothing to discuss. its a mismatch. friggin little roy jones and toney whupped ruiz. vitali would smear the bum in 5 rounds

You know thats a very ballsy prediction but you do make some good points.Ruiz has hung in there as boring as he is with the top guys out there now a days but I doubt he could beat VK or Wlad for that matter they just have too much offense for Ruiz.Ruiz would eat so many jabs with that come forward style it would be rediculous.VK by TKO 8-10 round range.

Klitschko fought two top contenders and lost to both of them, he struggled against Sanders (in fact Rahman had an easier time with him). The old Golota in my view gave Chris Byrd a better fight than Klitschko did, and the old Holyfield was better than anybody Vitali defeated.

you are wrong these points:

- sanders put rahman down and out the ring and was way ahead after the first 3 or 4 rounds, while he was never in the fight with VK after the 1st round and never had VK in as much as trouble as he had rachman

- golota lost on the scroecards to byrd while VK was way ahead prior to injury

- an old holyfield lost to larry donald, who VK KO'd...

Rahman was not down in his fight against Sanders. This KD was not legit in my view, it was the ropes that caused the balance problems. You described the Maskaev bout.
Golota didn't lose, it was a draw. Klitschko was ahead on points, but the number of landed punches were about equal.
That were different versions of Holyfield, cannot be compared at all.

raesaad, fair post.

i disagree, rahman was down against sanders and it was called a knockdown... golota got a draw on the cards, while vk was way ahead on the cards, so i dont see how AG was more effective than VK.... an old holyfiled is old holyfield... you said an old holyfield was better than anyone VK has beaten... well, old holy lost to donald and i dont see an old holy beating sanders or williams either

[whoami]

ruiz will kill klitchscho in a boring 12 rounders. he lost to jones and toney cuz they are smaller and faster guys. klistcho is a frankenstein enough said

Just look at Byrd's faces after both fights ...
I said "the old Holyfield", the one against Ruiz, you know, the one who gave Lewis still a very good fight, then fought Ruiz three times in a row and beat Rahman afterwards. That Holyfield would have beat both Sanders and Williams in my view.
