    Ruiz has the chin to hold up, I don’t see a knockout in this fight. What I do see is Ruiz completely out landing Ike with his superior speed

    Who said Ibeabuchi would knock him out ? Regardless Ibeabuchi is a significantly better infighter than Aj and would be landing more than Aj did in the pocket. Aj dropped Ruiz with a uppercut/left hook combo as a matter of fact. Ruiz's handspeed is quicker than Ikes no denying that but it is overrated to be real with you. On film it's clear he isn't much faster than prime David Tua nor does he hit anywhere near as hard. Slow Bum Franklin Lawrence of all people was able to exchange with Ruiz pretty decently. And he is no Ibeabuchi at close range

    He beat Aj because Aj has a subpar chin and a very subpar gas tank, nowhere near as good as Ikes. Ibeabuchi stopped a prime Chris Byrd than prime Alexander Povetkin did against a shot Chris Byrd. He was an Elite level fighter in the making, his career was just cut short. His workrate, chin and his superior infighting are enough to overcome the gap in speed.

    I thought Tua beat Ibeabuchi although have no issues with people scoring it for Ibeabuchi

    I think they both beat Ruiz. Ruiz is too lazy, he might have fast hands but so do Tua and Ibeabuchi.

    Tua had like 70" reach but had some of the fastest combo's in the division.

    It would be a phone both fight and Ruiz is outgunned

    Obviously talking prime for prime.

    Tua was best under 230lbs

    Ike never lost He was unbeaten. What finally beat Ike was that lying hooker & a judge that supposedly said something like " Just another dumb heavyweight boxer " Ike was stitched up due to Mike Tyson getting the same treatment

    Ruiz just got knocked down by a shot Arreola. You still think he beats Ibeabuchi ?

    If we are talking about prime Ike then Ike by early round KO. You clueless casual boxing fans who overrate Ruiz because of his one win over hype job Joshua crack me up. Ruiz doesn't have the power to hurt Ike and he doesn't have the chin to stand up Ike's power. Ruiz was hurt badly by a 40 year old has been Chris Arreola for crying our loud.
