    Very difficult one.

    Toney has wins over Holyfield and John Ruiz, but has also been extremely inconsistent.

    Ruiz Jr has always been talented but just hasn’t ever looked at Toney’s level.

    If this is prime for prime then Toney wins it.

    However who knows in what condition either of these turn up in. Both prefer eating to training.

    Good fight, Toney is the better fighter overall, but in the heavyweight division Ruiz would have a better chance I think...

    Toney at HW up thru his fight vs. Dominick Guinn UD's Ruiz.

    Any point after that Ruiz SD or UD.

    Toney wins, heads straight to Burger King right afterwards.

    Andy has enough skills not to fall into Toney pull counter trap over and over like the brawlers Toney took Advantage of, Peter, Ruiz, Rahman. Andy’s better handspeed and combination punching has him win a decision in the 8-4 range

    Not only does Ruiz Jr. win, but he clears out Burger King before Toney can take a bite. This ain't no Five Guys, and Ruiz Jr. ain't sharing
