I like and have good knowledge of boxing. I even boxed so I know what it is having my nose flattened. It's not a stupid comment because lots of boxers today look and act like idiots giving the sport a black eye.
I remember there being a story about Roy Jones having to shave his beard before the 3rd Tarver fight.
I think they were questioning whether to make Ruiz shave his beard for Golota, or not, if I recall correctly.
I think your right i believe it was also brought up before when holyfield fought him something about holyfield being afraid to get cut with holyfields head tactics i think ruiz should be allowed to keep a little stuble in his defense
