    agains, another topic for another thread. Byrd probably falls short having only the IBF however. But for another day!

    Yes, I believe Vitaly could have achieved more. He was always was part time boxer part time politician and injuries messed up his career as well. The lesser fighter Wlad achieved a lot more.

    I'm not talking about whether a fight is boring or not. Is that what you are going on about with this!?!? Entertainment value? According to your rationale here, wining by a razor close SD is the same as beating the same guy by a wide UD or KO? No... no one should think that way.

    yeah how many Elite wins are SDs and MDs throughout history?

    the winner is remembered

    ok you can UD someone but does it matter? Floyd got a SD against canelo, should have been a UD. I could go on. It’s the win. Boring, close, ko, whatever.

    You obviously don't understand..... Hence you're going all over the place with your line of reasoning...

    A lot of vitali fans act like this is a crazy subject, but he’s losing the poll. I can’t be the only one that thinks ruiz actually has the better resume

    yes a one sided beat down is impressive to watch. Say...calzaghe v Lacy. Or vitali v Briggs. But it will read UD.

    or Khan v maidana, Khan Nearly ko’d, showed huge heart, close on the cards. Still reads UD.

    Or the thousands of back and forth fights that ended UD. It’s all the same.

    as paulie put it when he lost, ‘now Iv gotta comeback as the B side because all the records will say is that I lost’

    Ruiz easy

    Look at the the guys he fought and beat and lost to.

    Ruiz was a warrior, who did he duck?

    On paper some fighters have impressive resumes. Ex. Canelo Alvarez.

    canelo is an elite fighter who will be a first ballot HOF and ATG. Possibly could go down as the best Mexican fighter ever.

    still in his 20s and look at his resume

    The more impressive resume is Vitali Klitschko because he didn't have 9 losses.

    John Ruiz, arguably had the better wins. As a big fan of Vitali Klitschko, I'm a bit uneasy with the reality but that's the facts. The saddest thing about Vitali Klitschko's career is that he only really had one huge fight, and that wasn't even billed as something big because it was on short notice and he wasn't taken seriously by the public. Aside from having less losses, the other thing Vitali Klitschko has going for him, is the manner in which he won his fights.

    If Vitali stepped up earlier in the 90s, he could have been in some huge fights. He didn't fight anyone with a pulse until 1998, when he was 27.

    Great boxer who come about in the wrong time.

    To compare him ability wise to John Ruiz is a joke, so it makes it an even bigger joke that John Ruiz might have the better names on his resume.
