Was or is John "The Quiet Man" Ruiz featherfisted?

Ruiz has either average or good power, he's not featherfisted and his style goes more for points than KO's.

 

definitly good power

 

I think that's the point of the post (and that the statement was facetious) - either Jones had a glass jaw, or Ruiz was featherfisted. Can't have it both ways. It's not like Ruiz had poor power, and he was a heavyweight, so people are probably underrating Jones' chin, at least at that point in time.

 

Ruiz wears opponents down through the jab and grab. Slowly lulling them into a false sense of security, then he drops the sneaky right hand™ to do some damage.

Ruiz's power is medium. He can put some hurt on, but he's not a one punch KO guy.

 

Decent power. The punch and grab started after he got brutally knocked out by Tua. I've seen his amatuer fights and he was a hell of a boxer at LHW. He could not bring that game to the HW division and so you have what his style is today that many hate.

 

A heavy weight fighter with 54% KO rate . . . feather fisted ???

WTF? atsch

:rofl

 

*sigh*

For the last ****ing time, Jones did not have a glass jaw.

The only time his punch resistance let him done was when way past his prime after shedding 18 pounds of solid muscle.

How many ****ing times do you have to say the same **** over and over and over again?

Ruiz is under-rated. Some day I hope he will get the credit he is due, he shys away from no single opponent. His power? He knocked Golota down didnt he? He knocked Jones across the ring with a body shot in the first round didnt he? Ruiz has good power, but he's no where among the Klitschko's in terms of power. He's a very durable fighter, and outside of the Tua loss, he is a tough man to fight and defeat.

 

I actually knew him very well back in the day. I remember his step-dad yelling at him while driving and Johnny doing his road work. I also remember him being brought out the the popular courts in Chelsea and he would spar streetfighters. Good guy and will always be remembered for being the first latino HW champion. I hope Zakman doesn't see this post, he hates John with a capital H.
