    So? You think being a mandatory means he was still atop his game? :patsch
    You're just a sad little ****. You hype american fighters when it suits you, but look down your big nose at Americans who do the same.

    Brandon Rios and Tyson Fury

    Both are one good punch away from watching the sun go down on the canvas.

    Read on *****, I didnt big up Ruiz but noted he was one of Americas best HWs of the decade and you cant as usual debate otherwise.

    Look at how below Ruiz was from the top of his game

    he was WBA mandatory challenger and had fought Chagaev to a SD not too many fights previously and had a close fight with Valuev who was champ, that doesnt sound like he was done.

    Your right mandatory doesnt mean top of the game but you have to do something to get there and when he did Haye dealt with the matter at hand.

    Please show me the untrue hype that I may have put on Ruiz. This will good.:yep

    I think T Fury may have a good chin but he lacks a punch for such a big fighter, though that may improve as he gets older and develops his technique

    He needs to work on his stamina as well, it's terrible. He's almost always in poor shape and he was extraordinarily gassed in the second McDermott fight. I do like him though, hopefully Steward will make the neccessary improvements.

    Look ****, the HW division is ****. Being a mandatory in the HW division isn't that difficult. If you had any brains, you'd know that. You're just a Euro-troll...nothing more. A poof who quotes himself...:patsch

    I never disagreed with that, read below which has parts from the previous post, but look at the level Ruiz was still fighting on. You really are a thick ****. First you accuse me of bigging up American fighters now Im a Euro troll :lol:. Now lets see where you can point to me quoting non truths :smoke

    Look at how far Ruiz was from the top of his game

    he was WBA mandatory challenger and had fought Chagaev to a SD not too many fights previously and had a close fight with Valuev who was champ, that doesnt sound like he was done.

    Your right mandatory doesnt mean top of the game but you have to do something to get there and when he did Haye dealt with the matter at hand.

    I still don't see how Jacobs is a hype job. He held even with a very good fighter in Pirog and got caught clean with a big shot.

    Paul Williams? Didn't he just take the middleweight champion and P4P #3 to a close decision? He may have gotten knocked out cold in the rematch, but he definitely isn't a hype job.

    Williams was very overhyped, everyone forgets that he lost to Quintana, scored an illegal back of the head KD against Martinez in their first fight which gave him a contraversial win, didnt win a round by one judge against Cintron and other than Margarito wasnt fighting many peak fighters.

    As for Jacobs he lost to Pirog who I agree has a couple of good wins but please give me Pirogs 3 - 5 best wins

    So I can get into a 20+ page pissing contest with a UK biased **** like you? :patsch I've said it before, you don't debate. You don't discuss. You repeast the same **** over and over, and quote yourself as if that's fact and admissable. You're an arrogant ****. Nothing more.

    You've already shown the incapability to own up to something when put right in front of you. hypocrite...

    I can agree that Williams was over-hyped, but he's still a very good fighter.

    As for Pirog and Jacobs, neither of them have great resumes, but you can see that they're both good fighters. Honestly, they don't even have forty wins between them. They're both young, their careers could go anywhere at this point. It is too early to label Jacobs as a hype job, in my opinion.
