    Ruiz is interesting. Or was, he’s washed now.

    how tall is he really? 6’0”? 6’1”? He’s probably a natural LHW or cruiser, but blessed with excellent power for either and an epic level chin for either (I mean, he’s fairly durable on HW terms with good recovery abilities). And fast hands. Yet he can’t control his diet so his whole career has been at HW.

    he had a lot of physical gifts.

    He looked poor v Miller but had a broken right hand, being fat doesn`t mean you don`t have boxing ability.

    I didn't say he lacks boxing ability. He's got some clear physical gifts, and he's a decent fighter. I mean, he DID win the title.

    I'm just saying he never lived up to what he could have been. He could have been an ATG LHW or Cruiser, given his gifts.

    If Bivol can beef up to 210 and keep some speed, he definitely can win

    I think Bivol would school Ruiz even weighing in 190lbs, probably a shutout

    huh? Bivol has never had the power to stop anyone even his own division walking him down yet he would at HW? Laughable.

    Like I said, he'd land every punch he threw. Ruiz isnt going to just eat that and walk through Bivol.

    He'd get schooled.

    You think Bivol who is not a big puncher at LHW will have the power to deter Ruiz walking him down at HW? That is laughable. You know Ruiz would be throwing some fast punches himself and not just stand there like a heavy bag?

    We literally just saw beterbiev eat Bivols punches for 24 rounds.

    Ruiz has slower feet than Beterbiev. Ruiz has to knock Bivol out. He can't outbox him and won't hurt what he can't hit

    Beterbiev just came forward all night and ate bivols punches for 24 rounds, foot speed does not matter when it comes to the issue of eating punches. The idea that Ruiz won't be able to hit bivol is again laughable, along with the idea Bivol beats Ruiz at HW. Some of the nonsense thrown around here is embarrassing.
