    Either way I do not think we have seen enough of Ruiz to make any real decision how he fairs head to head with past greats.

    OK, seriously, on pedigree you have to favour Louis, but Ruiz is not an easy out for anybody. I think Ruiz is better than Galento by a long way. If he gets Louis hurt it could be a problem, because he can finish.

    Louis was a much better puncher as well, probably a harder hitter as well

    I genuinely really like Ruiz but Lewis, Liston, Tyson and Klitschko among about 7/8 others all beat him pretty easily

    At this point in time I have to agree. I look forward to Andy proving us wrong :)
