    yes, the heavyweight with quite possibly the best resume of the 00s is back in "action" in march, to take on the man who nearly ko'd the ring's #2 heavyweight in sam peter.

    ruiz is a true warrior! No running from mandatories, no 5 straight cancellations, no positive drug tests, no claims of being drugged, no being owned twice by oleg maskaev, no losing to a guy a foot shorter than him (though he really beat one that was a foot taller).

    ruiz is a warrior of kindred spirits, an honor to the great sport of boxing.

    war huggy bear!

    With all that being said - he's still hard to watch.

    I am underwhealmed by this news. I do see the point of previous posters though. No gangsta attitude, no steroid scandal, no cancelations. John would pretty much fight anybody anytime. But he's just like an ugly chick that can cook. I just can't love either one of them.

    Oh man, the Tua KO in 19 seconds over Ruiz is a thing of beauty! That was just a love tap Golota gave him there.

    Ruiz is real life rocky and he will win against Wlad (drago)! Ruiz will then be champion for next 10 years and considered GOAT p4p!

    Let's compare him to someone like Quitali then.

    Loss to small feather fisted Chris Byrd. Win over journeyman Larry Donald. Loss to old, undertrained, inactive for a year Lennox Lewis (who got laid out by Oleg's son the last time he went into a fight out of shape). Beats fat Ruiz leftover Kirk Johnson. Beats overweight 40 year old part-time fighter Golf Sanders. Beats fringe contender Danny Williams. Fights Hasim Rahman....oh wait, Rahman chased him across the globe with an APB out on him and the WBC had to force Quitali to fight Rahman. Then Brittley gets injured. :lol:

    How about Lummox?

    He only fought for 4 years, just 7 fights.

    Wlad, you might have a case, but nothing definitive until a little more work.

    Brewster twice, Byrd twice, Peter, Brock, Sanders.

    I don't go by the would have, could have, should have.

    When it came down to bidness, Huggy Bear fought the top guys, Brittley ran from his mandatory like Daniel Larusso from the Cobra Khans and was forced by the WBC to fight his mandatory, then cancelled 4 straight times and retired.

    Then his mandatory loses his belt.

    Lo and behold, Brittley announces his comeback!
