    He was well on course to be the best ever imo..Holy imo didn't have Mikes number like everyone says, it was pure timing as great as Holy is..No fighters coming back right after that prison stint, most cant comeback from a lay off let alone it being spent in prison, then add to the fact his head was shot leading up to that, then imo you cant claim you beat a prime Tyson, add to the fact his style would always burn out quicker..I agree, it does seem Lennox Lewis onwards

    If you watch Bruno earlier in his career(Witherspoon fight particularly) he was far better than the one that got beat by Lewis..More fluid, better tank, less muscle, the Witherspoon fight was a war for both, I was very impressed with Bruno after getting used to the norm with him looking at that fight a while back, he got more nervous as his career moved on to I think..A good fighter, Ruiz imo is more natural at the game though, he eventually beats Frank up, Witherspoon Frank has a chance though imo

    I could agree with that. I see an even fight.

    I loved both fights and don't think they were boring at all. I give HW's free passes on clinching for obvious reasons, think it's forgivable. In fact I could argue it adds to the drama; a breather before the bombs away, ... that would comatose your average bloke are relaunched.

    I enjoyed them gut. You expect different things from 2 big punching-key word- Heavyweights...than you would from a ,say, Barrera vs Morales fight. Entertaining and exhilarating but you expect different things as weight differences bring different dimensions to the sport. Part of it's magic.

    Ruiz up to a few months ago was just some fat guy with jiggly t1ts. Now he is a head to head all time great(!)

    Ruiz made Dimitrenko, Joshua, and Hammer quit due to the pressure he applied. Bruno would want out.

    He was only a joke to people who didn’t follow him closely enough.
