    I’d rather get the W.

    I'd rather have knockout wins over Norton and Frazier than anything Ruiz ever achieved.

    It’s also notable how Ruiz stopped Tucker, who Foreman dropped his belt to avoid.

    The same Tucker that was also years past his best? Yeah, an incredible win for Ruiz.

    Foreman's win over Moorer is more impressive than anything Ruiz ever did.

    Genuine question, where do you rank Ruiz all-time?

    Ruiz’s win over Tucker was better than Foreman’s win over Tucker.

    He was neither demonstrative nor loud.

    Answer my question.

    Where do you rank Ruiz all-time?

    I don’t do all time lists.

    You were happy to post that you rank Ward number 2 all-time at 168lbs.

    Why are you so shy about posting where you rank Ruiz all-time at HW?

    If you don’t know the difference between having a top three in a 30 year old division, and having an all time list for a 130 year old division, you’d be better off sitting back and reading posts for the time being.

    So "I don't do all-time lists" has now changed to "I don't do all-time lists for certain divisions"?

    Anyway, Foreman is a vastly superior HW to Ruiz. Only a troll or an idiot would think otherwise.

    So, is Ruiz top 10 HW or top 15?

    He’s the number one Puerto Rican heavyweight of all time and the number two Hispanic heavyweight of all time.

    Considering that the big fight states like Texas, CA, Nevada, and New York average out to at at least 1/3rd Hispanic, Ruiz is solidly top 10 all time.
