the Great Bearded Warrior has been avoided by: Lewis threw his title in the trash can rather than face the bearded warrior. Byrd refused a unification clash. Rahman refused a rematch when he had the WBC title...rumor has it he still has rumors from the brutal beating he took in their first encounter. Peter is currently scared shitless of Ruiz. Wladimir has nightmares of a whirlwind of fists and glorious beard separating him from his titles.
Tua knows how lucky he was that the referee let him get away with his blatant cheating. Ruiz was handily beating him before the stoppage.
I heard Ruiz challenged Superman to a fight and the loser had to wear their underwear on the outside.
Due to rating - reviews - and the fact that No Network really wants him - if I was Heavyweight - I would avoid him too. Who would pay for or want to watch Ruiz fight anyone?
Wladamir would absoltely brutalize ruiz in under 5 rounds. it's almost laughable how much love he is getting now for beating McCline.
