    How would a bulked up GGG do against John Ruiz? Ruiz version 2004ish when he had the WBA, and GGG in his prime.

    GGG KO1. If you believe the guys in the gym, KOing heavyweights is his speciality.

    Not really, considering Ruiz looked like crap against an old and chinny 193lb RJJ

    You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. RJJ hadn't even been dropped (That I recall) until be moved back down, losing muscle mass to get back to LtHW.

    My bad, he did become chinny afterwards, all the weight loss in his 30's wasn't the greatest for him. He should have dropped down to cruiserweight, or fought at it after Ruiz

    He should have retired after beating Ruiz. BTW, Ruiz was not an easy win for just about all HW's back then. can only think of two guys who beat Ruiz big, Tua (Who blasted him), and RJJ. All the other top HW's struggled w/ him.

    Ruiz was pretty garbage so a GGG UD wouldn't surprise me.

    He did lose to 670lb Valuev too, which isn't a bad loss by any means

    LOL... GGG won't even fight at 168, let alone HW.

    The only reason why RJJ beat Ruiz was because he was an incredibly athletic fighter who was able to avoid Ruiz punches. In the first couple of rounds when Ruiz did manage to land a couple punches you can see it bothered RJJ.

    Roy was able to beat Ruiz because of his speed and movement not to mention his a level above ggg, I can't see how in hell ggg style beats him, not to mention he can't even go to 168 so going all the way up to HW is laughable.

    This clearly isn't serious but I'll take the bait. John Ruiz was actually a fairly good puncher, he hurt pretty much everyone he fought. Golovkin was not fast enough (Roy), or cute enough (Toney) to evade Ruiz's offense or stay away from his mauling tactics. Ruiz also despite the Tua fight had a fairly good chin, no one just ran him over so how would a MW?

    Ruiz w/ko5

    I disagree with you. He's about 2 or 3 level above GGG.
