Mike Tyson vs. John Ruiz 02 or 03

[Hulk]

IF Mike Tyson would have tried John Ruiz for his WBA belt instead of Lennox Lewis what would have happened? Would Tyson have flattened Ruiz, or would Ruiz have hugged his way to a decision win? I think Tyson could have grabbed a piece of the HW title one last time and made history like Holyfield did, if he had challenged the Quiet Man instead of Lennox Lewis. Tyson by early KO. Anyone got any thoughts on this?

Tyson was still dangerous for couple of rounds i say Tyson by ko in the 1st.

I agree with you bro, Ruiz would have ended up like Etienne or like he did when he faced Tua!

I could see Ruiz wrestling for the early rounds and Mike having a total meltdown from the frustration...I'm talking worse than Evander's ear

Tyson by ko or as Van has suggested, homicide by way of bitting the juggular.

Didn't you see the Frans Botha fight? Tyson would just wrench Ruiz's arm, then deck him.

I think Mike would have won this on his style.. Then he would have lost his 2nd defense or so.

I am a big Tyson fan but he was finished by then so if it went more than 3 rounds he would have been hugged to defeat. James Toney and possibly Roy Jones may have beaten him at that time, thats how much he had slipped sadly.

Yes, agreed !!

Tyson was looking at the dollar signs, not the championship.
