"First it was his hamstring injury from jogging, then it spread to his back, and now it's his knee. It's always something with this guy. They should really check his heart. HBO, Ring and anybody else that supports this guy as the so-called real heavyweight champion of the world should be ashamed of themselves. They have their own agendas. Klitschko doesn't want to fight anybody he can't handpick. Who has he ever beaten? World champions have to defend their title against the best opponents in the world. The WBC should strip him of the belt and award it to Rahman. Klitschko should pay Rahman for all of the time he's wasted training. They had to force him to fight Rahman and he still pulled out. "What does Klitschko mean in Russian, chicken? He quit on the stool with a shoulder injury against (Chris) Byrd in the 10th round of a 12-round fight that he was leading big. A doctor gave him approval to fight Rahman, but he chose not to fight. He's tall, big and may look like a heavyweight champion. But he doesn't have the heart and soul of a world champ. It's not what's on the outside, it's what's inside that counts." "I've never ducked anybody," Ruiz noted. "Nobody ever had to force me to fight a mandatory. I'm going halfway around the world to fight a giant - one-foot taller and 100-pounds heavier than me - in his backyard because I'm a true world champion. Valuev is my mandatory and after I take care of that fight, I'm pushing hard once again for a tournament so the public will have one heavyweight champion. Klitschko's the reason we haven't had a tournament because he wants to pick and choose his opponents like (Danny) Williams, (Oleg) Maskaev or (Calvin) Brock), instead of putting his belt on the line against one of the other champions. If the WBC does the right thing and makes Rahman the new champion like he deserves, boxing will be able to have a tournament next year and the public will know who the real man is in the heavyweight division, John Ruiz. Compare my record to any of the other heavyweight champions." Vitali has a glass heart. He shamefully ducked Rahman and other elite fighters. Cowardice.
The Quiet Man would've made it a very rough fight against the Bitchko sisters. But they didn't want any part of Ruiz.
The British posters here remind me of English football fans that think their team will win the World Cup every 4 years.
ruiz fought everyone at heavy including chagaev, valuev and haye and you think he's scared of a couple of homos?
Has the Bitchkos ever fought anyone as slick as Toney? Oh yeah, Vitali fought Byrd, who isn't half the fighter Toney is, and Byrd made him QUIT.
"Avoided" is not the term, "waste of time," or "Not Worth it" would have been far more appropriate, hell even Lewis.....did the same thing.
hahahahahahaha:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl Dude I think your a tool like 99% of the time and most of the **** you post is backwards but lately you been cracking me up lately. :good
Nobody wanted to fight him, becasue there was no money, ****ing boring, who the hell pays money to Watch Ruiz fight??? The guy was never a draw, his biggest paydays came from big named opponents, for fights that were snooze fests, because of his clinch/grab/hug technique...Thats why, no ****ing money.... Here let me show you something... [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKDvkcLe0K0[/ame] :deal
