    I agree. Khan has a Glass Jaw like no other. Words can't describe how bad his Chin is.

    rare exceptions indeed roger mayweather deserves a shout, he ended up being a decent little fighter too bad the era he fought in was filled with the durans,arguellos,chavezs of the world

    I don't it's all that accurate to say that Ruiz "did very well for himself" since his supposed "success" is based on cheating opponents with excessive holding and faked low blows, and cheating the fans of seeing the legitimate fights they paid to see. :-(

    More accurately, unlike REAL fighters like Jack Dempsey, Ruiz DISGRACED the sport by CHEATING to get to a level he never would have attained on the basis of his limited ability - or without the infuence of DON KING!

    I expected Alexis Arguello to be on that list even tho his KO was in his pro debut.

    1 - Most fans knew what they were getting when they paid for their Ruiz tickets

    2 - Punching is what is scored by judges not "holding and [faking] low blows]

    3 - Ruiz's level of competition is consistantly better than Demspey's and he was far more active

    4 - There is no more blatant infrindgement of the rules, anywhere in title fight history than Dempsey's effort against Firpo. He hit the bigger man on the back of the head (the referee could have DQ'd him within the rules) he was helped back into the ring by reporters (the referee could have DQ'd him within in the rules) he failed to go to a neutral corner after KD's (yes, the rule was in affect at the time).

    5 - You reallly need to wake up out of the dreamworld you are living in, you're actually starting to give old, out of touch academics a bad name.

    for the record its fighters who were KO'd in the 1st round

    alexis arguello
    benny leonard
    bernard hopkins

    lost their first pro fights, but were not KO'd, starched in the very opening seconds
