    Awesome avatar, guys like Eddie Futch, Nazim Richardson, and Emmanuel Steward have nothing on the great Stoney.

    EXACTLY. It's what got Ruiz his undeserved ranking - and special treatment for his illegal tactics - in the first place.:yep

    So the division is not ****?

    All you have to do is look at the current fighters and "prospects" and ****ing tell me the division is not ****.
    I know the K bros are elite, but they are the only good fighters in the division, and they won't fight each other.

    Stoney is a low class POS

    I give Ruiz alot of respect.. to be that bad and be in the top ten for so long takes alot (of blow jobs) I mean seriously even in his prime he got gift decisions in bull**** fights... Ruiz for years was the definition of what is wrong with boxing and a large part of that is Don King...he is the boxing anti-christ...

    Indeed. Ruiz is the poster child for boxing corruption. His whole misbegotten career is a Don King-created fraud.:yep

    I obviously can't speak for anyone else here but he beat Holyfield pretty straight in their rematch in my eyes.

    So does that make him a world champion? I don't think so.Some do believe he was a champion. Holyfeld just lost his belts to Lewis and Don King manages somehow to sneak out the back door with a belt for Holyfeld and Ruiz to fight for. That is a joke. Lewis was the champion not Don King and his stoges Byrd and Ruiz. Without King Ruiz will never wear a belt. Ruiz did however beat Holyfeld clearly in their first rematch almost knocked him out.
