John Ruiz has retired

:happy:klitfanb::cheers:soccerbl:wha:arty


He's finally gone! Thank the heavens! Haye deserves automatic hall of fame induction for vanquishing this plague from the heavyweight division.

 

finally!!!! some fighters really deserve some beating before realizing that they don't have it anymore...

hope Bhop is next

 

He didn't retire after Barerra though, but I know what you mean. It was the horrific beating dealt out by Manuel Calvo that put Hamed away...

 

But he looked at was training the best he had for many years did RJ?.

 

I think Ruiz was retired years ago! But lets not spoil it for Haye

 

vitali's next. haye's too good for these limited heavyweights of today.

 

But no, when looking at it in more detail, Hamed done himself more damage than Barrera ever did. He just had complete disregard of the gifts he possessed, and became dangerously complacent

 

I hope John Ruiz has a wonderful retirement. He was one of the true nice guys in the sport. Many people criticized his style, but it was effective in most cases. Have a good one, John.

 

It's amazing how people rank it as an accomplishment for Haye to "retire" a 38 year old has-been who hasn't won any meaningful fight in what like 6 years?

Beating up old bums is like working the heavybag. It means jackshi**. Remember when Wlad stopped a 41 year old Ray Mercer and won with ease like 10 years ago? Same thing. It's not a test but it gives naive fanboys reason to celebrate.

 

douchebag??

 

Happy retirement huggy bear!

 

This is news? The guy was semi retired before he fought Haye. 7 fights in 5 years?

 

But is he LEGALLY retired?


I want to see it in writing.

 

I agree. Nothing against Haye. But he simply did his job. He did what any good young title holder should and mostly likely would have done...He beat up a guy who didn't belong in the same ring with him. The gushing reviews are a bit much. You don't give the plumber a standing ovation for fixing the toilet...do you?

 

He went out fighting, and made the most of his ability.

Also, the US can use all the boxing gyms we can get. Good lookin out, John.
