    Who wins and how?

    Joe Louis was around 6'2 ft 200 lbs

    Andy Ruiz is 6'0 ft 250 lbs range but fat as hell

    If given a proper camp with all-you-can-eat buffets, Ruiz has to be the big favourite. If a fight is sprung on Ruiz without enough time to get to fighting weight, Louis wins, of course.

    I doubt Ruiz would see the second round. See Louis v Galento.

    Just because both were fat doesn't mean galen to was half the fighter Ruiz was, he was a big tough guy with a decent left hook. He had some decent subtle skills but he wasn't as schooled as Ruiz and no where near as fast.

    Neither are as fast as Louis was. Ruiz would come at Louis and get quickly ko'd. No doubt in my mind.

    Ruiz soaks it up a batters Joe, the skill difference Ruiz has on Galento is disrespectful being compared, if Galento drops Louis, why cant Ruiz destroy him ??

    Ruiz knocks him out then people make a lot of excuses saying it was a fluke then Ruiz knocks him out again in the rematch.

    I agree that Ruiz is more skilled than Galento but Louis is also far more skilled than Joshua, and much faster. If Joshua could put Ruiz down, Louis would knock him out quite quickly in my opinion.

    I hate trying to figure these inter era match ups out!!!

    So many variables.

    Like what year do they fight?

    Now? How the hell would that be fair to Louis???? He would be too distracted from the switch and would probably need to go to the hospital for a panic attack.

    Think about it??

    Would be more fair for prime Ruiz to go back in time, at least he would have a small clue about what he was getting into.

    That 50lb weight advantage and pressure makes Louis wilt eventually !

    I think that all the 50lb weight advantage means is that Ruiz will put a sizable depression in the canvas when he is knocked out cold by Louis.
