Lennox Lewis vs. John Ruiz.

:roll:, REALLY, Lewis whenever he wanted too, im guessing this would be a 3 or 4 round fight with Johnny staring at his eyelids when it's over....

 

Ruiz was mediocre. Lewis would destroy him.

 

Ruiz by science.

 

Ruiz has a chance if they allow enough cheating. But I think his only significant chance is to clinch Lennox like a prom date enough to lose a decision.

 

One thing is for sure.. The two of them would enjoy themselves a lot more than the crowd would.

 

Lewis, he was a much better fighter.

Lewis could also fight rough (dirty), as Ruiz probably would have found out.

Lewis constantly held and hit when he landed the right uppercut. Ask Michael Grant.

This tactic would come in handy when Ruiz would try his octopus ****

 

Lewis far more talented, bigger, more power. Both fought dirty. Ruiz was very tough.

The only time he got destroyed was 1st rd KO by Tua, who catched him cold.

Other than that, he wasn't easy opponent for anyone (besides Roy Jones:roll. He was old and shot against Haye.

How I see the fight? Ruiz holds every time he's in danger. Fight is ugly as Lewis also can hold. Lewis trying to be agressive like vs Akinvande, who held him every 5 secs. Lewis tries bodyshots and uppercuts.

Ruiz fakes low blows, slips to the floor many times (like vs Evander), and remains on his feet till final bell. Judges score it wide for Lewis.

If Ruiz is't allowed dirty tactics, then Lewis stops him in 6-7 rounds.

 

I think Lewis knocks Ruiz out anywhere between the 1-6 and likely within the first four. Ruiz doesn`t have much of a chance at all if you ask me he`d try to hit and hold but Lewis would beat him to the punch and over power him while Ruiz tries to grab him.

 

I would go with a Lewis ko. Can't see a way for Ruiz to win really, can't box with Lewis nor outfight nor outwrestle him.

Ruiz grabs, Lewis leans on him and walks him back, tires him out and starts timing the uppercut.

 

Lewis would destroy Ruiz, either by early KO - or if Ruiz was able to get away with his illegal holding tactics, he would get beat up and then KOd.

Ruiz didn't have anything to take advantage of Lewis's chief weakness, his less than sturdy chin. And he certainly didn't have the boxing ability or skill to win.

Ruiz's only hope might be to fake a low blow like he did against Holyfield and Johnson and hope for a sympathetic ref like Schmeling had!!

 

No way. Ruiz too slick too strong. Lewis has a heart attack in his dressing room.

 

I started by thinking I'm going to say, surprised at your opinion, Lewis Ko's him out of the dressing room. But your post is correct, Lewis was the most analytically heavyweight champion ever, he would do enough to win for sure, no more, no less. Ruiz was tough, clever, brave and above all resourceful, Lennox by a shut-out, Lewis only becomes maybe the best heavyweight ever when he is scared?
