Let's Look At John Ruiz For A Second..................
 

Since it seems there are many people here who think Ruiz was a fighter that fought within the rules and has such a great resume let's look at him for a second.


KOed by Tua in 19 seconds

Lost to not one but TWO former Middleweights (Jones/Toney)

His style was so boring and pathetic it caused a referee to make a mercy stoppage versus Oquendo for the fans (I can never remember seeing this since)

Has to fake low blows to beat Kirk Johnson (pathetic)

Glass Jaw Roy Jones handpicks you to win a Heavyweight Paper Title (this should be the real evidence that Ruiz is horrible)

The only reason Ruiz "won" a belt was King thought he could create a Latino PPV Heavyweight star to the huge Latino fanbase, too bad the fighter he picked for this was boring and just basically a club fighter. King's plan backfired.


Ruiz is a terrible fighter with a cheating "style" end of story. :smoke

um.....ok? whats your point. fact is he has one of the better resume's of active HWs sure he was boring and irritating to watch. but hey to each there own.

Spot on A-50.:good

When's the chin list update coming?

Re: Let's Look At John Ruiz For A Second..................
 

But you like him apart from that?

Re: Let's Look At John Ruiz For A Second..................
 

the point is his resume is shit. It is garbage.

Re: Let's Look At John Ruiz For A Second..................
 

Most don't count losses in a resume, I do however.

Re: Let's Look At John Ruiz For A Second..................
 

Why am I not to be taken serious? Because I tell it like it is and you don't like it?:yep

Re: Let's Look At John Ruiz For A Second..................
 

Many people here have agendas.

Re: Let's Look At John Ruiz For A Second..................
 

If his resume is garbage, Vitali Klitschko's is a step below garbage right?:good

Re: Let's Look At John Ruiz For A Second..................
 

Ok, let's look at it based on what actually happened...

Lost in 19 seconds to Tua.
Went 1-1-1 with Holyfield (i thought he won 2 of those fights, however).
BEAT Kirk Johnson after Johnson VICIOUSLY lowblowed him 4+ times.
Beat Fres Oquendo convincingly.
Lost to RJJ.
Beat Hasim Rahman convincingly.
Beat Andrew Golota.
NC against Toney who tested positive for drug use.
Lost to Valuev in controversial fashion.
Lost to Chagaev in non-controversial fashion.

Overall, he has fought a great list of fighters. All your allegations are proofless. He's a guy who could always go 12 tough rounds, and who never had a single tuneup fight for 5+ years. VERY few fighters have fought on the highest echelon of the division so consistently.

Like I want to look at Ruiz again. :roll:

Re: Let's Look At John Ruiz For A Second..................
 

He did not beat Rahman convincingly or Oquendo. Up until the referee mercy stoppage against Oquendo, I could not even score a round in that fight there was so much holding, grabbing, and hugging going on. Same for the Rahman fight, way to much holding and grabbing to even score the damn rounds. What a farce both those fights were.

i cant make it the full second without getting bored out of my mind so i will pass

Re: Let's Look At John Ruiz For A Second..................
 

But just because you don't like the way a fight was fought doesnt mean you can discredit the win.

Re: Let's Look At John Ruiz For A Second..................
 

ha haha I love it how the Ruiz fans always claim that after Golota destroyed him for two rounds, 'he made a comeback winning the next eight'.

Did Ruiz not 'win' those rounds by initiating more clinches than throwing punches???

If so, how is this boxing?

Also, how was it that he got a pont taken away for holding at the begining and then, as the holding increased, no more points were taken?
