Ya i doubt it would happen like that again either. I just dont like saying anything that might be construed as a compliment due to my blinding hate of him.
Ruiz who is alot better now goes 12 and probable wins Tua not in the same shape or condition can be dangerous early but Rahman lasted longer and I thought he won the rematch so why not Ruiz who is still in great shape.
Did you not see the Cameron fight or something? Ruiz is older, slower, and his old grabby survival tactics (which most likely came about as a direct result of what happened to him at Tua's hands) are sure to not be as sharp since he's attempted to become more of a crowd-pleaser.
No avatar bets for me, not even on a sure thing. I wouldn't even take one for Klitshcko vs. Calderon (with me picking Klitschko). This is, always has been, and always will be my ESB av and I have never and will never put it on the line. :good Any other bet you want to make though, holla. :deal
David Tua has gotten better with his new team. David Tua looks more fresher, more powerful, and athletically mobile recently. David Tua would be able to KO John Ruiz in mid rounds, although the fight can go to 10-12 rounds and David Tua will produce a powerful combo punch that would KO anyone. John Ruiz has to win a lot rounds if he wants to get a chance in this fight which he does well with fighters who do take off few rounds during the bout. Both Boxers have improve, but I am going with David Tua with a mid-to-late KO with a few KD's along the way. Have to say, but David Tua will look good in this match.
Yeah, it was his crowning achievement and his kiwi sucking fans use this justify him somehow still being relevant in this division.
I think there was a time when Ruiz could have beaten Tua,,, But right now, I see Loise getting stretched out again... Mabey not in 20 secs, but KTFO just the same. :dead
My post wasn't pro Ruiz, but he IS challenging for a world title again soon and he has been a title holder in the past. So by virtue of that, yes he is somehow relevant whether deserving so or not.
****ing A the last 8 years tua has fought garbage after garbage and ko ing a no name in cameron means nothing...cameron wasnt even ranked in the top 50 ruiz has fought holyfield , valeuv 2 times, chagaev, golota, jamile mccline, roy jones, james toney, kirk johnson, Rahman, and oquendo. tuas resume the last 8 years russel chasteen rahman griffis salif guiteriez maurice wheeler robert hawkins saul montana cerrone fox shane cameron :rofl:rofl:rofl but morons on this board love to talk about a knockout that happened 14 years ago :deal
