    Who takes it ? According to some historians John L had fast hands.

    I read John L was not a scientific fighter came forward and rushed for the knockout .

    Wouid John L KO ruiz? He is more commited to getting the knockout that Joshua is. Or would Ruiz counter him ? Both have fast hands

    Sullivan was a real deal. Give me him over fat, unmotivated Ruiz.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Sullivan dropped by Mitchell? A middleweight?

    Yes, and knocked out by feather-fisted Jim Corbett

    I'm willing to forgive that. Sullivan was shot and drunk by that point.

    Why would we want to pit Sullivan against an unmotivated Ruiz? Wouldn't it be more interesting if both were motivated?

    He was, it seems to have been more of a balance issue though. Mitchell was a good fighter.

    They were fighting in a mud soaked ring,I would put to much emphasis on that KD.
