    Yes he is...we know where this is going. F-ing King:twisted: (just look at the Peter/McCline fight)

    You could be right but if Sergei is gun shy, he's done anyway. You can't fight the current HW's being gun shy and Ruiz has below average power when compared to the rest of the top ten.

    Sergei will have to face Klitschko, Chagaev, Ibragimov, Maskaev or Peter to unify & some of the newer contenders like Povetkin, Solis, Chambers & Arreola and all of those guys hit harder than John Ruiz IMO.

    I would personally rather fight Ruiz than Valuev for instance wouldn't you?

    I finally got to see that fight & a draw or a one point win either way would have been justified but those judges cards were filled out before the fighters fought IMO.

    It's not just Don King either, Duva is a douche bag also when it comes to Peter. Sam is his pet project.

    Ruiz discovered he has a pretty good uppercut too. so when he gets caught inside and can't grab he can use it to get out

    The poll is very close so far....................I knew it would be & that's why this is a good matchup. Now if the WBA would make the winner the mandatory for Chagaev we might have a good fight to look forward to....................

    Dead even poll so far...................

    It took awhile for some posters to vote for Ruiz by KO or TKO but here we are completely even.

    Without King to work his "magic," Ruiz is **** out of luck.

    Notice he hasn't "won" a fight since King dumped him??:yep

    He has only fought one fight since then, against Chagaev, it was a pretty good fight (as fas as Ruiz fights go).

    How did this so call glorified club fighter make it competitive against WBA champ chagaev? He actually put better fight than Valuev against him.

    If Ruiz cannot win without kings help why he wasn’t destroyed out there like any other regional fighter would?

    Styles don't match up well for Chagaev there. He is a defensive guy who picks (very selectively) his punches. He can be outworked. So yea, I am saying a talentless club fighter who throws in volume may keep it close with him. Sorta like what Sam Solimon did to Winky Wright, granted that is an extreme example.

    I though Ruiz did pretty well against Chagaev, legitily i might add. His holding only started from rounds 8 when he seemed to tire.
    Overal he's much more proven than Liakhovic, who had one great fight and performance against Brewster, but outside of that not all that much. I think Ruiz will win a UD.

    Sergei did beat Guinn and on the inside where Guinn usually shines.

    Yeah but he also got knocked out by Maurice Harris if i'm not mistaken, and by Briggs. While he was somewhat unlucky against Briggs, it was again his lack of survival instinct that cost him against Briggs just like it nearly did against Brewster. I was not suprised by his performance against Briggs and he was only a few points behind in that last round, he may well have lost the fight had he suffered 2 knockdowns in the last round but making it to the final bell. Ibragimov, for instance, won 11 out of 12 rounds against Briggs.
