    Butterbean was a 4 rounds freak show Ruiz is a top ten rated heavyweight.If you can't be sensible why not be silent?

    One thing to consider....Ruiz has said he's used to fighting bigger guys and defeating them. Guess what? Rocky would be smaller than Ruiz. He'd work Andy's body something awful, and duck under Andy's left-right combos. Marciano by UD, especially if we'r talking 15 rounds.

    I can't see Marciano beating the super big HW's of the 21st Century, but in this case, I think Ruiz' style works in his favor.

    I was gonna say Ruiz might last 10, but your points on shape and stamina convince me 7 is about right. They'd meet in the center of the ring round after round and Ruiz gets turned into ground beef.

    in reality the height differential is negligible though. Nobody believes Ruiz is 6’2”.

    If Ruiz's height is exaggerated, how tall was Rocky?

    This was your post.

    "I guess Buttebean beats Marciano as well then.
    If it's all about being fat and heavy. "
    To which I replied.


    "Butterbean was a 4 rounds freak show Ruiz is a top ten rated heavyweight.If you can't be sensible why not be silent?"


    Nothing in my post about Marciano or his greatness,and if you had half a brain you would have noticed I haven't made a pick here.
    But you haven't, you make stupid posts and get the arse when they are attacked! Stupidity!

    Rocky was 5’10. I think Ruiz is no more than 6’0”.

    You made a comparison between Ruiz and Butterbean as though implying those who had something positive to say about Ruiz put them on the same plane when nobody ever suggested such a thing! In effect you constructed a spurious argument against yourself and then proceeded to shoot it down! If that isn't stupid what is?
    I never commented on Marciano so why did you?
    Yeah I'm always like this, I have zero tolerance for deliberately false, invented arguments.

    75lbs fatter between two men of similar height is not the same proposition As a match where one is towering over the other by some consideration.

    He's legitimately 6'2. My 6'1+ friend stood next to him and was shorter.
