Lennox Lewis vs John Ruiz

Flooring an aged fighter is different than flooring a prime one, and Ruiz was not a hitter that I'd pick to be a threat to Lewis. In addition, I'd like to see how many rounds you actually gave to Holyfield in their combined two fights, because frankly he got owned.

 

Ruiz-Golota


1. 10-9
2. 7-10
3. 9-10
4. 8-10
5. 10-9
6. 9-10
7. 10-9
8. 10-9
9. 10-9
10. 10-9
11. 10-10 (Swing round, both fighters hurt each other with one good punch lol, could have went either way)
12. 10-9


Overall

113-113

 

This has Henry Akinwande written all over it

 

Nice job at avoiding my response.

In any case, Lewis couldn't floor holyfield, but won more rounds in two fights than Ruiz did in three, and was facing a slightly younger Holyfield. Evander beat Ruiz, wheras he could not beat Lewis. End of story.....


Have a good night.

 

ruiz would lay out lewis ffs yall are daft ****s!!! why do u think lewis ducked him for so long cuz hes a scared limey *******

 

After being labeled "John Louise" by Lennox Lewis, Ruiz didn't even have the wit to call him "Lennox Louise" back. Instead, he called him "that girl".

 

mate trash talk has got **** all to do with fightin ya daft **** go educate yerself on the matter ffs ruiz was way superior like hes top 5 all time lewis isnt even top 25 ffs

 

I like and respect Ruiz, but he wouldn't have stood a chance against Lewis. This would be a brutal wreckage. Lewis gets the job done anywhere between the second and eighth rounds. Ruiz didn't have the punch to hold Lewis off. He didn't have the slick defensive tools needed to elude Lewis's offensive. The holding/wrestling routine wouldn't have worked for Ruiz either, because Lewis was much stronger. Just a question here of how long Ruiz could avoid being KO'd. Nothing more.

 

Lenny Lewis by KO1.

If Tua can, Lenny can.

 

I'm not quite sure whether Lewis purposely ducked Ruiz, as Grant was considered a tougher opponent at that time and Lewis had never knowingly ducked anyone prior so i tend not to agree with that theory....Ruiz gave an ageing Holyfield fits, one who was clearly showing signs of wear and tear when those fights were made, Holy 90/93 would have dealt with Ruiz with relative ease, probably stopping him during the middle rounds or winningly a unanimous decision. Lewis/Ruiz i suspect would have been fairly one sided, Ruiz would have spoiled and mauled for a round or two but not for long, providing Lewis was on it ,he knocks out a game Ruiz inside 6 rounds, similar to Morrison.

 

Lewis would've made quick work of Ruiz.
