List the top 20 heavies for any year during the 70`s from when Ali beat Foreman to 1980 while Holmes was champ? How would Ruiz have fared during any from 74-80 against all top 20 fighters from any of those years? I feel fightes were killers fromthat era in general and faster although boxing is now stating to rapidly improve from the lull it was in 10 or so years ago, but how much depth of talent was there in that era at heavyweight?
He could have some great success in 77/78. He wouldn't be that much of a longshot to squeak out decisions in horrible fights with Young, Spinks, and a spent Ali.
