Lennox Lewis vs John Ruiz

Ruiz would show more heart then Bay...

 

is this a troll thread?

byrd I can understand because he was high ranked for the main part of lewis's reign but ruiz didn't become a legitimate opponent until he'd already been given the belt and shared a trio with holyfield, but of course he then lost to the lhw king.

ruiz causes lewis no problems, he was just never on that level. Even in the transition period of vitali he was still never higher than 3rd ranked.

 

I'm sure at one point you was a good poster, this avy change has done bad for you imo nono

go back to your old avy and draw a line in the sande, we'll forgive you.

 

that's because... it is I!!!!

 

LH31 is an excellent poster on anything none Lewis/Bowe, he's a bit of a Tyson apologist too but has good insight. He is also none other than Kevin Rooney, no ****, this may mean he knows his whisky given his alcohol/gambling problems

LUFC is that Yeboah in your avi?

 

Holyfield was shot when he fought both Lewis and Ruiz. The only difference is that Lewis dominated Evander in both of their fights, whereas Ruiz fought him to a standstill in a trilogy. John had neither the power nor the skill to trouble Lewis, and would do little more than applying his survival techniques to hang in there throughout a very dull, one sided beat down over 10-12 rounds.

 

never knew that :good

it is indeed! my favourite footballer of all time.

 

much better :good

Ruiz has the style to make everyone look bad.

that being said, he did lose the last fight to holyfield who then lost to byrd so byrd was rightfully higher than ruiz imo.

however ruiz looked better against fres.

it's a shame these two never fought each other so a real contneder other than tyson and a klitschko could emerge.

 

Bert Cooper put Holyfield " on his ass " a full 10 years earlier than Ruiz did it, and during a time when Holy was prime. So what's your point?

 

And what does Ruiz flooring an aged Holyfield have to do with Lewis being pregnable or impregnable? Frankly, I don't see where this example proves anything.

Perhaps, but the other difference asside from what type of match he was fighting, was that he was 10 years older against Ruiz than he was against Cooper and thoroughly passed it, yet John still did not look as good against him as Lewis did. I really don't understand where you're going with any of this.
