    I m not overly impressed with Ruiz. I know he got the win over AJ, but since then?
    I'm inclined to think Bruno s Jab gets Ruiz s face looking like raw meat and the fight getting stopped with Andy looking like he's had enough.

    Andy can take punchers better than Bruno could and he`s a faster counter puncher.

    It would be like the Tim Witherspoon fight, but the slightly more saggier tits Ruiz would stop him late rounds.

    Frank Bruno is very vulnerable to a right hand, we can safely recall his fights against Tim Witherspoon and Mike Tyson. And Ruiz can hit, ask Anthony Joshua. Ruiz would apply tremendous pressure to his muscular opponent, tagging him over and over with the Snickers made right hand. Bruno would falter in round 5 to the immense pressure by Andy, the big right hand would end it.

    It would look no different than the first Tony Josh fight

    Ha ha, maybe you better reevaluate Ruiz’s chin after seeing him getting dropped and also hurt several times against a shot Arreola who even at his best couldn’t hit anywhere as hard as Bruno.

    Fair enough but that shot would have dropped Frank too.

    Maybe but it's impossible to say Mark.

    Andy beat better and looks like a much better schooled fighter then Frank I would pick Ruiz based on a few things, however I am yet to see his most recent outing and am inclined to think a touch differently of him. The lesson with grading modern fighters is it isn't over till the dust has settled if Ali had retired for good in 67 you would laugh If I told you he could take flush shots from Shavers, Foreman and Lyle.

    Best we wait before we pass judgement on anyone.
