    See Tua vs John Ruiz for a likely blueprint. That was Tua's most precious gift to boxing.

    I dont see a case to be made for Andy. If you're gonna trade with Tua, you had better have more firepower... and Andy does not.

    AJ showed that Andy can be dropped and hurt. Tua would keep him hurt.

    Tua in 4 or 5.

    Tua had a legit heavyweight frame. He wasn't fat in the same sense as Ruiz.

    Tua, who has proven late round power, takes him out once he catches him cleanly enough often enough. This isn't Chris Byrd.

    Ruiz would win. Tua undoubtedly has more power, he was a little tank, but as much of a fan as I was of Tua, he just didn't have the balls and will to win to beat Ruiz. Ruiz is too ballsy, and his hands are too fast.

    Balls wouldn't matter.

    Ruiz has a come forward style with no defense, and Tua was a bigger puncher, physically stronger, a better chin, and if we're talking prime Tua... a better gas tank than Andy as well.

    It's a style mismatch. If you're gonna trade with Tua, you need to be a Tyson or Foreman.... guys with the firepower to seriously hurt Tua.

    Ruiz's punches would have ZERO effect on Tua.

    I'm doubt Ruiz could hurt or more importa fly discourage Tua

    Do people seriously think Ruiz could win this?

    Ruiz W12 Tua, outboxes him, takes his heat, beats him to the body and certainly has larger breasts, so that's an additional element.
