joes my all time fav heavy, but everything bounces off Ruiz imo, to much weight..Still think Joe my do him on points
Joe would beat Wilder by catching him wityh the hook because he leaves his head on the center line after punching like AJ did v Ruiz in MSG difference is Wilder would KO Ruiz and AJ could not have stayed away from Joe the same way he did v Ruiz, different level of fighter Joe was far more proved, Ali would have jabbed Ruiz`s head off.
Candidly, I'm amazed this matchup is even being given serious consideration. This is not meant to demean Ruiz but Frazier would have destroyed Ruiz. No question. The fact that Ruiz beat AJ, a powerful yet psychologically frail fighter is irrelevant as it relates to Ruiz facing Frazier. Frazier was a much better fighter than Ruiz. Ruiz would have been KO'd. No doubt.
Ive just watched Frazier Quarry 2, although not the same fighting style, Joe was very light on his feet and showed more to his game against Quarry than you would think he had, everyone calls him a one armed fighter when its simply not true. Joes fitness takes him to a UD minimum
