Dont get confused with John Ruiz being a good heavyweight. Why dyou think Roy chose that fight?
In fact, Ruiz has been the go to heavyweight for little men to get a win at heavy.
Toney beat him without having to sit on the ropes and wait for the ref to pull Ruiz off. Ruiz couldnt get close enough to Toney without getting clouted with the overhand right![]()
Bingo. Ruiz was garbage to watch but effective and he ran a lot of really good HW's close or beat them. Golota, 2001 Holyfield, Kirk Johnson or Rahman at that point were good fighters. Fury wouldn't have seen the final bell against any of them imo.
I saw Tyson Fury's list on Twitter and adding old RJJ is ridiculous.
The other three fights are fine. Lucas Browne would be an entertaining brawl, while Chisora 2 is a good fight. Wilder is just treading water and seems incapable of fighting another contender.
Agreed, all 3 of those are good fights that would be nice to see happen. I think Tyson Fury probably added Jones just for a laugh and to get a reaction.
We are yet to find that out. Fury is yet to be awarded a title shot, even though hes fought and won 2 title eliminators.
At this stage in Ruiz career he had been sparked by someone who was never good enough to win a world title. He had many gift, rotten decisions. The Holyfield fights, the Golota fight. Got totally out boxed by Toney and Jones. If he couldnt hold you he was fucked.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
This is why Ross is so retarded. He's comparing a clearly weak chinned Fury (who has been hurt pretty much with every punch landed on him) to the granite chin o Ali. He is a fucking retard who is so biased to fighters he likes.
And yes Jones probably stops Huck. Particularly a Huck at the time he fought Cunningham. Huck is getting better but as a boxer his skills are so limited. I love watching him and he as been in battles but Jones was too slick and would hurt Huck with counters and combos
Before Ali fought Liston he was dropped hard by 180lb british journeyman Henry Cooper who had a less than 50% KO ratio and 195lb Sonny Banks.
Fury has been dropped by an ripped 210lb former world champ fighter and another weighing 232lb both 6,3" not light heavyweight journeymen.
Im not comparing Fury to Ali you fucking morons! Like you said, Ali had a granite chin but he was thought to be very vulnerable as he was getting hurt and dropped and awarded gift decisions against very small heavyweights that werent even punchers.
Ripped means hes not carrying much if any fat and is more a genuine heavyweight than Stiverne and Arreola who if they lost their fat and their (10lb of water) would probably weigh less than Cunningham.
Cunningham should have been awarded the decision against Adamek, who comfortably beat Arreola who is soon to be fighting to be the second best heavy in the world. He will be fighting someone who was stopped by a journeyman and held to a draw by another journeyman.
Cunningham is also the only fighter to have stopped Marco Huck and Huck fought Povetkin, a heavyweight, who Huck beat up pretty much and was unlucky not to get the decision against.
