    This. Larry even in 1992 would put a clinic on Ruiz. Ruiz couldn’t beat Parker, who isn’t half the fighter Larry Holmes was even years past his prime.

    Ruiz ain't butter beans at all he don't have the power but he's way more skilled than most heavys today

    I think Ruiz's hand speed could surprise him and knock Holmes down once or twice (he was hardly immune to the flash knockdown by no-so-heavy punchers) but Holmes has too much skill, too light on his feet, too good a jab. Simply put, he's all wrong for Ruiz.
