"Confidential boxing sources" state that John Ruiz is ready and willing to get back in the ring with David Tua, any place, any time. Why not? Loser retires.
I would actually pick Ruiz to win this time around. Tua has been inactive eating kiwi infused turnovers and assorted pastries. He's done.
I think I'd pick the same way. Who knows what Tua is like these days after a year of inactivity? Plus, he hasn't been the fighter he was when he KO'd Ruiz in a long time.
Picking Ruiz to take it by decision this time, Tua is inactive and struggled against a can in one of his come-back fights.
