Ali was slow and flat-footed by that point. Ruiz could certainly find opportunities to land. He's probably still too fat and inactive enough to get it done though.
Even that Ali ain’t losing to that fat fuck He’d clown around, make fat guy gestures and win a one sided UD while Ugo cries at ringside
Ali wouldn't have to do any boxing, his seventiness alone would smash Ruiz' skull. Gleeful cdogg would puff his cigar along his jolly good fellows, following the uneven barbarity live from telegram
Ruiz could probably give a totally shot Ali problems if he was in shape... Meaning, Ali definitely wins.
Forget WHO it Was, But Some Former Fighter Told Joshua the Recipe for WINNING the RE w/Ruiz was Ali-Spinks II... Not Sure if Spinks II Ali Beats Joshua, But Even THAT Version of Ali Had a BETTER Chin, Jab, Handspeed, Fluidity and was CONSIDERABLY More Relaxed Under Duress Than Joshua... Ruiz Beats Holmes/Berbick Version Ali But NOT Spinks II Ali... REED
The Ali of Spinks 2 was shot but he got himself in condition to flurry, dance and hold in close for a full 15 rounds. He still had enough to beat a fighter with such a high level of self respect that he came into the ring to defend his title fat and completely untrained. Ali schools him.
