Something in my mind tells me Ruiz will be a belt holder again sometime in the next few years especially if Vitali retires. The Quiet Man won't go away!
Let's hope not. Boxing has been disgraced enough by that cheating clubfighter and his corrupt promoter.
maybe ruiz is always the #1 contender because the wba's (to mention one sanctioning body) ranking system is ****ed. Just a guess.
YEAH, LET's hope not, for the better future of boxing, because we all know deep in our hearts how good the Klits are along with the whole HW div. Not to mention that we all know how most fighters are always willing to face the best without excuses of big money paydays (not that it isn't important, but it's gone ridiculous), or they are always willing to fight on their opponent's turf with no exuses, even against all odds (Germany)...I could go on and on , but I guess you probably see the point by now ... Maybe the WBA is right in having him up there all the time..... As for me, I think RUIZ is a warrior and even if a bit boring he's good for boxing and we need more guys like him in this sport... YEP , YOU BET YOU READ THAT RIGHT!!BTW just think about how boring or not some of the top fighters are right now, let's skip the Klits along with all the ex-soviet block (we all know how mind-blowing entertainment they always provide). Let's go with top fighters like Hopkins, maybe Calzaghe, heck, even Gayweather just to mention a few , but they never get such a hatred for being boring even when they r not willing to fight anybody ALWAYSSSSS!! RUIZ IS A WARRIOR , LIKE IT OR NOT. Hope he wins another belt, can't think of anybody that deserves it more than him at HW right now! GO CHAMP!!!:hey:smooch
Ruiz is the Jason Voorhees, the Michael Myers, the Freddy Kruger of boxing. The horror show that will not die. Can someone PLEASE dig up some photos of Jawnny in his pimp outfit from the Jones Jnr fight? I already have the Tua fight but its not long enough to enjoy fully.
Ruiz could be champ again, he's always around the top level of boxing and he is the WBA mandatory for the Valuev-Haye fight. Ruiz is going to have to have a big KO over a good contender to get respect as a champion from most boxing fans.
