To Early to Write Ruiz Off
I see nearly direct parallels to Duran-Leonard I+II. Nearly identical paths with Duran winning 1st, then with all that cash for 1st time, partying for months, then having to train down again and wasn't able to chase down a running Leonard in 2nd fight. It didn't spell the end for Duran, but he really had to work to remake himself. Even their ages were near identical. Picture Andy getting Duran, or even Tyson to train him and coming back as a 235 lb. 6'3" Mike Tyson who can take a hell of a punch. I'm just saying the potential is there. Don't discount Ruiz. He's got very good skills and hand speed. If he lightens up, works on his foot speed and countering, he's in the thick of it again. I really don't think we've seen his best. Only glimpses.
