    I`ve seen this vid before and it`s very impressive, thanks, but AJ has more reach on his jab than all of these guys except Willard, who was slower than AJ and couldn`t move as fast as him, AJ could keep Jack bobbing and weaving on the outside by jabbing, he wouldn`t have to land that much, and he could then fire punches from a safe distance.

    Ruiz does have very fast hands though.

    This one. Dempsey has much faster hands but at 260 Ruiz does have some pretty impressive speed for his size.

    I am not a Dempsey guy (as a fighter) but AJ has clear weaknesses that cannot be ignored, Dempsey is made to exploit them. He does and in less than 5 rounds

    Not close to true. A 3" reach-wingspan really- advantage for Dempsey over Ruiz.
    More if Ruiz is broader across the chest.

    A couple of months ago 90% would be saying AJ takes him out!

    He has, can't deny that. Not even close to Dempsey though, as you said.

    It's amazing how quick he moves the pads for Ruiz.

    If the Dempsey that fought Brennan were to face pre-Ruiz AJ, I would take AJ. Dempsey, who should have been prime, was getting hit first and countered against Brennan. And Jack, for his wonderfully slender dancers' legs, was off balance too often and exposed.

    Mark you really must be a waterhead baby. Dempsey was one of the fastest fighters ever. Everytime I argue with you I feel stupid and soiled. Your IQ has to be below 65. One make believe idiot statement after another. Uninformed idiot pic when you're Saad but both stupider than the next waterboy. "MY MAMA SAID ALLIGATORS ARE ANGRY CAUSE THEY GOT NO TOOTHBRUSH""
