    Horribly! If he lost to MIDDLEWEIGHTS, Toney & Jones. These guys would have little difficulty.

    He'd get a through boxing lesson from all of them. Ruiz can't deal with a boxer. As long as the ref. doesn't allow his holding that is.

    Ruiz had success at heavyweight because he was suprisingly quick with his jab and occasional right hand to fall in to the inside. Thats why guys like a slower Holyfield, Rahman, Johnson, and Golota, all had a difficult time with him. Like said, a quick boxer would have little problems with him, thats why he was tailor made for a guy like Jones Jr. ;) I think he would have a lot more difficulty at LH than he did at heavy.

    They would beat him - He was too slow for them.
