    Ruiz wins everyday and twice on Sunday.

    Ruiz hugs Marciano out of the fight.

    Marciano on work rate, in a stinker.

    I think it would be classic to see Al Weill and Norman Stone going at it at the weigh in.

    I do not like Ruiz walking into the hitters. Against boxer types he holds up well--kind of like a Berbick. But there is a reason there are not many hitters on that dossier.

    I would guarantee that Rahman, Holy and Golota, at the very least, all hit harder than Marciano. Probably also Thunder and late stage Tucker.
