    Easy fight.

    Ruiz destroys him via TKO.

    BHOP doesn't have the speed to get in and out against Ruiz like RJJ had.

    Bhop doesn't have the power to hurt Ruiz either.

    Has nothing to do with power. It all comes down to skills. Like Jones and fat man James Toney, B-Hop hard plenty of skills and would have easily schooled the quiet man.

    Hopkins doesn't need to get in and out to in order to beat Ruiz. James Toney had a field day with him in the pocket and Hop is more than capable of doing that.

    1) JT was on PEDS.

    2) JT is naturally stronger than Bhop (without PEDs).

    3) JT has a great shoulder roll.

    Does Steroid give you the ability to roll with punches?
    Does steroid give you the ability to throw counter right hand?
    Does steroid give you head movement?

    Please Just stop posting.

    Yes.

    Ruiz is a bum. Ruiz would have never been anything but a high-level journeyman if not for his connections to Don King. Ruiz got many gift decisions, BS DQ wins for faking low blows, was allowed to hold more than anyone, used to hit & hold.

    BHOP's skillset is nothing like RJJ or JT

    Just becuz they handled Ruiz doesn't mean BHOP can

    12 round clinch masterclass. Whoever wins (I guess Ruiz), the fans lose.
