    I think Ruiz would be to big and powerful but would take tons of punishment before landing the big one.

    Marciano hurts the Ruiz from the other night.

    Marciano beats any version of Ruiz and I'm actually sad that there's 3 votes for Ruiz

    Why would it necessarily be a KO?

    Be decisive. No track shoes Marciano fantasies.

    Both men have iron jaws, theres a possibility of a decision that should be an option

    I knew this match-up was coming lol. Marciano by decision, in a good old fashion scrap.

    Okay. Anyone gutless enough to pick a decision can vote the ko option and then state the decision pick in comments.

    Ruiz is basically a fighter with one good win at the moment.

    Inevitably some people will try to make him into superman, because he beat Joshua, but he is not.

    My best guess is that Marciano would outwork him, to bring about a late stoppage, or a decision win.

    I don’t see an escape plan from him when he’s hurt.

    Marciano punishes him and takes him out.
    Wilder would take him out too.

    This. Rocky is a horrible style matchup for Ruiz. Rocky used to go for the solar plexus when he fought hefty guys like Ruiz, who are easy to land on. Ruiz’s chin is rock solid, but his body isn’t. Once Rocky softens Ruiz up he’d definitely take Ruiz out.

    When Ruiz used to train out of the fight factory and Goossen’s Sakio Bika sparred him and hurt Ruiz by working on his body.

    Marciano by decision or late stoppage. Saw some people praising Ruiz for his “stamina”...throwing 20 a round isn’t stamina. He will have to deal with 40-70 blows a round and being that obese and limited mobility he’s done for. Marciano would punish his body terribly.
