There's an actual method for alphabet rankings? Who knew? Of course, common sense would tell us that Ruiz should be ranked higher than Laikovich. Look out, here comes the soon to be THREE TIME WBA Champion!
Just like always, Ruiz cheats inside the ring, and WHINES outside of it. From his undeserved rise in the rankings after signing with King, through all his illegal antics, the CORRUPTION and CHEATING never ends!! atsch In the last THREE years, Ruiz has won ONE fight, against some nobody. And this is supposed to entitle him to a #2 ranking??? Puh-leez!! Get to the back of the line, you talentless hack, and beat somebody decent. :fire It's a JOKE that Ruiz is rated #3, let alone HIGHER! :-(
It only took Vitali one fight in 2 years against a nobody (Danny Williams) to be declared the best HW in the world and secure a mandatory spot for all eternity whenever he wanted it. So why can't Jawny be #2 with one win against a nobody in 3 years? Jawny held the title for longer and way more defences than Vitali. Makes sense to me. He's not beng declared Emeritus Champ or anything. :yep
I don't think John is cheating, all of his arguments are fact. The WBA will look really bad if they don't overrule the 10/10 announcement. There is no way Sergei deserves to be anywhere near the top-5 anyway. That article aswell as the one in f*ightnews are pretty accurate. Ruiz has atleast took risks. If the WBA won't mandate Ruiz-Value, at least they should call for Ruiz-Sergei for the #2 spot. I think the WBA should overrule their original ruling no matter what people think of Johny, it's only following the rules, if they don't then would show to me an the rest of the honest world that cares that they are crooked.
Emeritus Champ!!!!!! That's great. Each weight class should have one. The heavy's allready have two; "Yawn" John Ruiz and Evander.
Ruiz robbed?? Puh-leez. He is the king of getting bogus decisions. The minute King decided to stop pulling the strings, he lost - and hasn't "won" against anything other than a stiff since.:-( Think THAT'S a coincidence?? If ya do, I've got a good bridge to see ya!:hey
I think Ruiz would beat Ibragimov, and definitely Maskaev (Peter I am not so sure about). Klitschko would beat him, as probably would Chagaev in a rematch.
