Guest LexLugerRules Report post Posted August 15, 2002 I am hearing many rumors about this. This is basically Tysons last chance, if he wins, hes the WBA Champ. If he loses, than R.I.P to Tysons career. I know Tyson can beat Ruiz, but I have my doubts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Report post Posted August 15, 2002 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Excuse-Me-but, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Sorry. Well,It-would-be-for-the-WBA-Heavyweight Championship-and-if-Tyson-wins-it,it-could mean-something-again. With-John-Ruiz-as-Champion,The-Belt-is worthless.

Guest LexLugerRules Report post Posted August 15, 2002 I dont know man, Ruiz is a smart boxer, you got to give him that. He knows hes not skillful, but he knows how to win. Ruiz could jab Tyson 3 times, than hug him like he did in the other bouts, with people. And get the desicion. Let's not forget Ruiz floored Holyfield, Tyson couldnt do that. Ruiz is a smart fighter. But this fight could end up being like Tua Vs. Ruiz, because Tua and Tysons styles are so similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest alkeiper Report post Posted August 15, 2002 I'd like to see Tyson-Tua as well. Lewis Tua didn't work because of the style clash, and Lewis' height. As for John Ruiz, RIP, and good riddance to the boxing world if he fights Tyson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Report post Posted August 15, 2002 By-the-way, Tyson.Vs.Ruiz-would-have-to-be-after-none other-than...... Holyfield-Ruiz-IV! Ruiz-HAS-to-defend-the-WBA-Title-against him.Holyfield-is-the-#1-Contender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alkeiper Report post Posted August 15, 2002 Ruiz would drop the title so he could make better money against Tyson anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jimmy no nose Report post Posted August 15, 2002 I sure hope Tyson wins then goes on to fight Lewis. I don't think it would even be a close fight with Lewis, but at least all the belts could be stuck together rather than having some worthless piece of crap also be "world champion".

Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted August 15, 2002 Which organiztion is Tyson being sued by? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alkeiper Report post Posted August 15, 2002 There IS only one world champion. Lewis unified the titles, and he hasn't lost since. That makes it pretty clear cut in my view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LexLugerRules Report post Posted August 15, 2002 Ruiz sucks, he has no talent. But the guy knows how to win. He beat Holyfield twice(He was robbed the 1st fight). Mike Tyson is my role model, I wan him to win. But I think if Mike Tyson doesnt go in there to kill, Ruiz will jab Mike Tyson a couple of times and hold him for dear life, a win the desicion. Ruiz CANT ko Tyson, Tyson can KO Ruiz. It will be interesting to see what happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Some Guy Report post Posted August 16, 2002 I don't think Tyson can beat any legit heavyweight anymore. He's lost it. Didn't the Lewis fight open people's eyes? Tyson has nothing left. Lewis toyed with him and then knocked the piece of shit out. Johnny would just jab and grab, Tyson would get frustrated and get DQed. Ruiz is a cheap fighter, kind of like Holyfield only without as many head butts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alkeiper Report post Posted August 16, 2002 Tyson will stick around a while because Ruiz would use the same strategy Botha did, and we all know what happened there. A fighter with one punch power will continue to draw much longer than an aging finesse boxer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted August 16, 2002 Johnny would just jab and grab, Tyson would get frustrated and get DQed. Ruiz is a cheap fighter, kind of like Holyfield only without as many head butts. Tyson has been boxing since the 80's and has only lost what, four fights? Why does everyone act like Tyson gets DQ'ed every fight? It only happened once. don't think Tyson can beat any legit heavyweight anymore. He's lost it. How many legit heavyweights are there? I could see if Tyson was knocked out by Hasim Rahman or somebody, but he was beaten by someone who is called one of the best of all-time. Don't call him washed up yet.

Guest alkeiper Report post Posted August 16, 2002 And even if Tyson couldn't beat a legit heavyweight boxer, I don't think fighting Ruiz would be a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LexLugerRules Report post Posted August 16, 2002 John Ruiz is a legit heavyweight. The guy beat Evandor Holyfield twice(Robbed the 1st time), and was beating Kirk Johnson until the DQ. So what if Tyson didnt beat Lewis. No heavyweight out there cant beat Lewis right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MentallyNormal Report post Posted August 17, 2002 I do not enjoy watching Mr. Boring. If this fight happens I hope Tyson Knocks the Boring out. But knowing Mr. Boring he'll be so boring Mike Tyson will fall asleep during the fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted August 18, 2002 That fight's only selling point is Tyson's involvement. No one cares about Ruiz, aka RuizzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZzz....... Personally, I think Tyson's still got the power and the speed to pull off some good ol' whoopin's like he used to. He just needs to get his confidence, and his aura back. Let him eat Ruiz, and smoke a half dozen chumps, then stick him in there with a Klitchko or someone of that caliber, we'll see a whole new Tyson. No one's touching Lewis right now, so forget about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
