That's because Lewis wanted no part of Ruiz. He gave up his WBA belt to fight Grant instead and made no attempt to gain it back. On the other hand, Lewis fought Vitali while in poor shape, and out for a year, and still cut up Vitali's face and won. Vitali may have beaten out of shape guys (excluding Lewis who beat him) more impressively than Ruiz, but.. Did Ruiz ever get kicked out of the Olympics for juicing? No. Did Ruiz ever run from a mandatory and then get forced by the organization to fight him, then cancel 4 straight times? No. Did Ruiz face tougher opponents than Vitali? Yes. Did Ruiz ever keep the division on hold with his primadonna attitude by trying to cut in line for a title shot? No. Vitali= disgrace Ruiz= honorable prize fighter who took on tough opposition
Calling a fighter a part time anything is DUMB DUMB DUMB. Corrie Sanders was a FULL TIME PROFESSIONAL FIGHTER. He fought as many times a year as most other fighters, so please, come up with some new material.
Thread Stealer=Worthless idiot who knows nothing about boxing and should stick to his day job of flipping burgers at McDonalds. He's way better at that. Well actually no he got fired from that one too.
Your whole rap seems to be to try to discredit Vitali by pumping up this gloirified clubfighter. Give it up - everybody knows it is Ruiz, with his constant excessive holding and faking low blow that is the PREMIER disgrace to the sport. Nobody's buying this bull****.
Yeah, in his younger days he fought more. What about when Brittley beat Sanders? Sanders had not fought in 13 months, and was 10 lbs. heavier than his last fight. Let's look at Sanders once Rahman beat him in May 2000. -Fights 18 months later against Sprott -Fights 12 months later against Tisdale -Fights 4 months later (wow!) against Wlad -Fights 13 months later (and is overweight) when he loses to Quitali. 4 fights in 4 years. Yep, that sure is as often as most contenders isn't it?
So yopu honestlt believe Vitali is afraid of Rahman, a guy who was knocked clear outta the ring almost twice? He was calling out Lewis but afriad to fight Rahman? ARE you ****in' serious?
Larry Donald is a good boxer, Danny Williams KO'd Meehan in the first round & Kirk Johnson Knocked the current WBC beltholder Maskaev out.
