Ruiz ... HOF'er?

Nope. Even with their low standards, the only way Ruiz gets into the Hall of Fame is to buy a ticket like the rest of us.

 

If he beats Haye and becomes a 3X champ a very strong case could be made for his inclusion.

 

Based on his accomplihsments I believe he will go. If he beats Haye, hes a lock.

 

I got a feeling hayes going to knock him out, still for a man with a limited skill set he has done well and had a career any of us would be proud of to be honest :good

 

When it comes to whether or not a guy should be in the Hall, some people will let their dislike of a guy's style or personality overshadow the fighters accomplishments. It happens with Ruiz and it happens with Hamed. Ruiz has held a title a couple of times, has a solid resume, and he's the first Latino heavyweight titlist. And while this doesn't qualify him for the Hall, he came back from a brutal KO that would have driven a lot of guys into retirement. If they don't let Ruiz in the Hall, they need to start kicking some other people out.

 

he will be there for sure

here's the place

yeah HOF is not some exclusive club - many decent champions get in so being the fist latino HW champ and a 3 (?) times HW champ should be enough.

 

NO, they cant possibly put ruiz in, it would turn the HOF into a joke

 

The HOF already has lower standards than I'd like but if they let Ruiz in, it would be a disgrace.

You might look at his record and say it's pretty decent but I've got a pair of eyes, and they tell me that Ruiz is ****in terrible. He might have wrestled his way to a few decent wins and made the most out of a miniscule amount of boxing talent ... but is that enough to get a place in the HOF? I hope to God not.
